"Communications and personal information that are posted online are usually accessible to a vast number of people. Yet when personal data exist online, they may be searched, reproduced and mined by advertisers, merchants, service providers or even stalkers. Many users know what may happen to their information, while at the same time they act as though their data are private or intimate. They expect their privacy will not be infringed while they willingly share personal information with the world via social network sites, blogs, and in online communities.The chapters collected by Trepte and Reinecke address questions arising from this disparity that has often been referred to as the privacy paradox. Works by renowned researchers from various disciplines including psychology, communication, sociology, and information science, offer new theoretical models on the functioning of online intimacy and public accessibility, and propose novel ideas on the how and why of online privacy. The contributing authors offer intriguing solutions for some of the most pressing issues and problems in the field of online privacy. They investigate how users abandon privacy to enhance social capital and to generate different kinds of benefits. They argue that trust and authenticity characterize the uses of social network sites. They explore how privacy needs affect users' virtual identities. Ethical issues of privacy online are discussed as well as its gratifications and users' concerns. The contributors of this volume focus on the privacy needs and behaviors of a variety of different groups of social media users such as young adults, older users, and genders. They also examine privacy in the context of particular online services such as social network sites, mobile internet access, online journalism, blogs, and micro-blogs.In sum, this book offers researchers and students working on issues related to internet communication not only a thorough and up-to-date treatment of online privacy and the social web. It also presents a glimpse of the future by exploring emergent issues concerning new technological applications and by suggesting theory-based research agendas that can guide inquiry beyond the current forms of social technologies"--Publisher.

Euro-Par Conference Series Euro-Par is an annual series of international conferences dedicated to the p- motion and advancement of all aspectsof parallelcomputing. The major themes can be divided into the broad categories of hardware, software, algorithms and applications for parallel computing. The objective of Euro-Par is to provide a forum within which to promote the development of parallel computing both as an industrial technique and an academic discipline, extending the frontier of both the state of the art and the state of the practice. This is particularly - portant at a time when parallel computing is undergoing strong and sustained development and experiencing real industrial take-up. The main audience for, and participants in, Euro-Par are seen as researchers in academic departments, government laboratories and industrial organizations. Euro-Par's objective is to be the primary choice of such professionals for the presentation of new results in their speci?c areas. Euro-Par is also interested in applications which dem- strate the e?ectiveness of the main Euro-Parthemes. Previous Euro-Par conf- ences took place in Stockholm, Lyon, Passau, Southampton, Toulouse, Munich, Manchester, Paderborn, Klagenfurt, and Pisa. Next year, the conference will take place in Dresden. Euro-Parhas a permanent Web site whereits history and organization are described: http://www. europar. org. The Euro-Par conference series is traditionally organized in cooperation with the International Fede- tion for Information Processing (IFIP), in cooperation with the Association for Computer Machinery (ACM), and in cooperationwith the Institute ofElectrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Computer Society, Technical Committee on Parallel Processing (TCPP).

Wireless ad-hoc sensor networks have recently become a very active research subject due to their high potential of providing diverse services to numerous - portant applications, including remote monitoring and tracking in environm- tal applications and low-maintenance ambient intelligence in everyday life. The e?ective and e?cient realization of such large-scale, complex ad-hoc networking environmentsrequiresintensive,coordinatedtechnicalresearchanddevelopment e?orts,especiallyinpower-aware,scalable,robust,wirelessdistributedprotocols, due to the unusual application requirements and the severe resource constraints of the sensor devices. On the other hand, a solid foundational background seems necessary for sensor networks to achieve their full potential. It is a challenge for abstract modeling, algorithmic design and analysis to achieve provably e?cient, sc- able and fault-tolerant realizations of such huge, highly dynamic, complex, n- conventionalnetworks.Variousfeatures,includingtheextremelylargenumberof sensor devices in the network, the severe power, computing and memory limi- tions,theirdense,randomdeploymentandfrequentfailures,posenewinteresting abstract modeling, algorithmic design, analysis and implementation challenges of great practical impact. This workshop aimed to bring together research contributions related to diversealgorithmicandcomplexitytheoreticaspects ofwirelesssensornetworks. This was the third event in the series. ALGOSENSORS 2004 washeld in Turku, Finland, ALGOSENSORS 2006 was held in Venice, Italy. Since its beginning, ALGOSENSORS has been collocated with ICALP. The Third International Workshop on Algorithmic Aspects of Wireless S- sor Networks (ALGOSENSORS 2007) was organized by Wrocla w University of Technology.TheworkshopwasheldonJuly14,2007,inconjunctionwithICALP 2007. After a careful review by the Program Committee of 25 submissions, 11 regular papers were accepted to ALGOSENSORS 2007. Apart from the regular talks, two keynote speeches were given at the workshop.
