First Interdisciplinary Workshop on Mobility, Data Mining and Privacy. Preserving anonymity in geographically referenced data.

The technologies of mobile communications and ubiquitous computing pervade our society, and wireless networks sense the movement of people and vehicles, generating large volumes of mobility data. This is a scenario of great opportunities and risks: on one side, mining this data can produce useful knowledge, supporting sustainable mobility and intelligent transportation systems; on the other side, individual privacy is at risk, as the mobility data contain sensitive personal information. A new multidisciplinary research area is emerging at this crossroads of mobility, data mining, and privacy. In this context, this workshop is aimed at fostering the interdisciplinary dialogue among researchers and professionals in computer science, law, geography, social sciences, statistics, telecommunication and transportation engineering.
