AIMS AND GOALS |

Privacy in statistical databases is about finding tradeoffs to the
tension between the increasing societal and economical demand for
accurate information and the legal and ethical obligation to protect
the privacy of individuals and enterprises which are the source of the
statistical data. To put it bluntly, statistical agencies cannot expect
to collect accurate information from individual or corporate
respondents unless these feel the privacy of their responses is
guaranteed; also, recent surveys of web users show that a majority of
these are unwilling to provide data to a web site unless they know that
privacy protection measures are in place.

"Privacy in
Statistical Databases'2006" (PSD'2006) is the main conference of
the CENEX-SDC project funded
by Eurostat and will
be used to raise the awareness of SDC in Europe and beyond.
PSD'2006 is
regarded as a successor of PSD'2004, the final
conference of the CASC project
(IST-2000-25069), held in Barcelona on June 9-11, 2004 and with
proceedings published in Springer
LNCS vol. 3050. |

Those two PSD conferences follow a tradition of high-quality technical
conferences on SDC which started with "Statistical Data
Protection-SDP'98", held in Lisbon in 1998 and with proceedings
published by OPOCE, and continued with the AMRADS project
SDC Workshop, held in Luxemburg in 2001 and with proceedings
published in Springer
LNCS vol. 2316.

 |
Like the aforementioned preceding conferences, PSD'2006 originates at
the EU, but wishes to stay a worldwide event in SDC. Thus,
contributions and attendees from overseas are welcome.
