SUMMARY:Nataliia Bielova: Detecting third-party tracking and GDPR violations in Web applications
DESCRIPTION:Third-party Web tracking has been extensively studied over the last decade. In our work\, we focus on two problems that address third-party tracking in Web applications and GDPR impact on trackers.\n\n\n\n\n\nFirst\, we study detection of third-party tracking. Most of previous studies and user tools rely on filter lists. However\, there has always been a suspicion that lists miss many trackers. In this paper\, we propose an alternative method to detect trackers inspired by analyzing behavior of invisible pixels. By crawling 84\,658 webpages from 8\,744 domains\, we detect that third-party invisible pixels are widely deployed: they are present on more than 94.51% of domains and constitute 35.66% of all third-party images. We propose a fine-grained behavioral classification of tracking based on the analysis of invisible pixels. We use this classification to detect new categories of tracking and uncover new collaborations between domains on the dataset of 4\,2M third-party requests. We demonstrate that two popular methods to detect tracking\, based on EasyList&EasyPrivacy and on Disconnect lists respectively miss 25.22% and 30.34% of the trackers that we detect. Moreover\, we find that if we combine all three lists\, 379\,245 requests originated from 8\,744 domains still track users on 68.70% of websites.  \n\n\n\n\n\nSecond\, we analyse GDPR impact on third-party trackers. GDPR defines rights for data subjects (users) and obligations for data controllers (trackers) but it is unclear how subjects and controllers interact concretely. We investigate whether it is safe for a data subject to exercise the right of access of her own data by analysing how subject access request procedures are implemented in third-party tracking services. We observe that some trackers use unsafe or doubtful procedures to authenticate data subjects: the most common flaw is the use of authentication based on a copy of the subject’s national identity card transmitted over an insecure channel.

SUMMARY:Elena Simperl: Qrowd and the city: Designing people-centric smart cities
DESCRIPTION:Smart cities are as much about the needs\, expectations and values of the people they serve as they are about the underlying technology. In this talk\, I am going to present several areas of system design where human and social factors play a critical role\, from fostering participation to augmented intelligence and responsible innovation. I will present ongoing challenges\, solutions and opportunities\, drawing from recent studies in Qrowd\, a Horizon 2020 programme proposing a humane AI approach for transport and mobility.\n\n\nAbout the speaker:\nElena Simperl is a professor of computer science at the University of Southampton in the UK. She works in the department of Electronics and Computer Science (ECS)\nin the Web and Internet Science (WAIS) lab. She is also one of the Directors of the Web Science Institute and a Turing Fellow.\nMore details: http://elenasimperl.eu/

SUMMARY:Christoph Fabianek: Semantic Container for Data Mobility
DESCRIPTION:An enormous wealth of data is being created in our increasingly digitized life and economies\, but the majority of this data is either being monopolized or shared for questionable purposes rather than facilitating innovation. One of the main issues that inhibits data reuse and the emergence of vibrant data markets is the lack of standard mechanisms for the execution of controlled transactions between data providers and consumers\, including efficient provisioning of data and associated services. Consequently\, many potential data providers find it difficult to turn data into viable business models. At the same time\, data consumers face challenges accessing heterogeneous data provided via various mechanisms and have limited means to trace data provenance and ensure data quality. Semantic Containers aim to tackle both issues by facilitating controlled transactions through an integrated set of methods and capabilities. Specifically\, they package data\, semantic descriptions\, and processing capabilities into executable and shareable containers.
