Second International ICST Symposium on Global Information Governance (ISGIG)
Conflict and Collaboration in Compliance, Governance and Risk

ISGIG 2009 - the Internet of the Future
Prague, Czech Republic 15th, 16th, and morning of 17th September 2009
www.isgig.org
The explosion in the use of broadband over the last 5 years has connected
people, organizations, commercial firms, and government agencies throughout
the world. The large number of devices connected to the networks has changed
the Internet to a "network of things and computers". These trends, plus the
rise of collaborative technologies, virtual worlds and tele-presence raise
issues of privacy, management, compliance, governance, and risk. 
The Internet of the Future is the theme of ISGIG 2009. Specifically, its
goal is to improve communication among academics, regulators, compliance
officers, business managers and IT managers by exposing problems, and
uncovering potential problems, in the areas of privacy, compliance,
governance, and risk. Each of these issues creates situations for both
conflict and cooperation between different constituencies. This conference
is an opportunity to advance models of effective management and
collaboration.
The conference will rely on a judicious mix of research papers, invited
speakers and structured discussions to extend the communities' communication
and identify opportunities for mutually beneficial outcomes. 

Special Sessions:
There will be three special sessions with a suggested format of a workshop
of 3 short sessions of 20 minutes on the session topic followed by a
30-minute panel discussion. Topics are:
Cyber Terrorism: Increasing connected devices increases the scope for
damage. With the future of the internet there are more critical devices
(freezers and food storage, water and power meters) that may become
vulnerable.
Green Computing: Critical issues identified in Green governance, low energy
computing and how you prove it, governance for carbon trading.
Managing Change in the Internet of the Future (r)evolution: As the future
internet evolves there are likely to be large scale changes made in business
and regulation. This session will look at the possible changes and the
conflict and collaborative issues that they may generate.
