[DFSci] Call for Chapters: Managing Security Issues and the Hidden Dangers of Wearable Technologies

[Andrew Marrington]

Dear Colleagues,

I apologise for cross posting. The below is a call for book chapter
proposals for an upcoming IGI Global book, "Managing Security Issues and
the Hidden Dangers of Wearable Technologies". We are very interested in
chapter proposals about digital forensics of wearable devices and
practical advice to management about forensic readiness with respect to
wearable devices.

Kind regards,
Andrew Marrington

Full Chapters Due: October 30, 2015


Introduction
Wearable technologies are mobile computing devices which further close the
gap between humans and information technologies by virtue of their
intimate physical proximity and their non-traditional user interfaces. The
emergence of these wearable devices together with the ease of
photographing and distributing private of confidential information has
significant implications for our society and our businesses. The narrowed
physical gap between person and technology implies the presence and
potential use of wearable technologies during almost every human activity,
including both intimate and illicit activities and everything
between. The near-universal reach of modern smartphones has already
ushered in an era of ubiquitous computing and a new culture of photo
sharing, leading to security and privacy concerns both for individuals and
for businesses. As wearable technologies accelerate these developments,
law, policy and individual behaviors must adapt. The security and privacy
implications (positive and negative) of wearable technologies will be
explored both conceptually and empirically, and the implications for
government, law enforcement, industry and individuals are discussed.


Objective
This book will explore the security issues with emerging wearable digital
devices and their deployment. It will illustrate a conceptual and
pragmatic basis of direct use to managers, policymakers and law
enforcement, even as wearable technologies continue to evolve. It will
provide empirical research findings and conceptual frameworks for
professionals and researchers who are interested in the security and
privacy implications of wearable technologies, both for individuals and
for large organizations.


Target Audience
The target audience of this book will be composed of professionals,
security managers, policy makers, and researchers in the fields of
emerging technologies and security. Every chapter will include specific
recommendations and thought provokers for consideration by practitioners,
and questions and discussion topics for advanced undergraduate students.


Recommended Topics
Chapters are sought after on every security and privacy dimension of
wearable technologies, including but not limited to the following:

* Security management of BYOD wearable technology
* Digital forensics of wearable devices
* Privacy concerns arising from wearable technology
* Security of wearable devices
* Cultural implications of wearable devices
* The impact of wearable technologies on risk for individuals and
organizations

Chapters discussing empirical results relating to the security, privacy
and investigation dimensions of wearable technologies, including but not
 limited to the following, are also sought:

* Google Glass
* Smart watches (e.g. Apple Watch)
* Android Wear
* Fitbit
* Samsung Gear VR

Since smartphones are in many cases the device which enables communication
between the wearable devices and the broader world, and since they have
many overlapping security and privacy issues with wearable devices,
chapters based on work with smartphones which is applicable to wearable
technologies are also sought after.


Submission Procedure
Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit on or before July 30,
2015, a chapter proposal of 500 to 1,000 words clearly explaining the
mission and concerns of his or her proposed chapter. Authors will be
notified by August 15, 2015 about the status of their proposals and sent
chapter guidelines. Full chapters are expected to be submitted by October
30, 2015, and all interested authors must consult the guidelines for
manuscript submissions at
http://www.igi-global.com/publish/contributor-resources/before-you-write/
prior to submission. All submitted chapters will be reviewed on a
double-blind review basis. Contributors may also be requested to serve as
reviewers for this project.
Note: There are no submission or acceptance fees for manuscripts submitted
to this book publication, Managing Security Issues and the Hidden Dangers
of Wearable Technologies. All manuscripts are accepted based on a
double-blind peer review editorial process.
