Workshop 5 - MobiMundi: Exploring the Impact of User-generated Mobile Content – The Participatory Panopticon September 2, 2008

The MobiMundi Workshop aims to provide a forum for researchers and developers from different backgrounds to gather together to explore and discuss the impact of mobile information and communications technologies and services on society.

The theme for this workshop will examine the real and potential impacts of user-generated mobile content on individuals and society as a whole. The individual and societal impacts discussed will primarily focus on user centered and social perspectives, but will also explore how user behavior is changing and which problems are emerging, bearing in mind that individual actions are creating privacy and security issues which could lead towards a new quality of a hyper-surveillance society by providing the framework for the participatory panopticon.
