[AISWorld] CFP: Pre-ICIS Bright Internet Global Summit (BIG Summit)

CALL FOR PAPERS: Bright Internet Global Summit (BIG Summit)
Seoul, Korea, December 8-10, 2017

A recent BitDefender report[1] predicted that, by the year 2020, financial
losses caused by cybercrimes would reach $2 trillion while cybersecurity
market would exceed $100 billion. To mitigate the substantial losses and
to manage today?s overwhelming issues of the interlocking fields of cyber
security, the goal of the Bright Internet researchers and professionals is
to find multidisciplinary approaches to reduce undesirable consequences.
The Bright Internet initiative aims to establish safe Internet platforms
which can preventively identify and mitigate malicious anonymous global
cybercrimes. The Bright Internet also aims to maintain the freedom of
expression and privacy protection which may be infringed by preventive
measures.

The Bright Internet Global Summit (BIG Summit) will be held in COEX
Convention Center at Seoul, Korea in December 8-10, 2017. The BIG Summit
provides an interactive forum by bringing together leading academics,
practitioners and policy makers to discuss the critical issues of today?s
Internet and possible means to realize the next generation of a trustful
Internet.

This workshop will also report on the progress of the Bright Internet
which pursues cyber security, privacy and freedom of speech in a balanced
manner. We invite extended abstracts of original research articles
addressing a broad coverage of technical, managerial, economic, and
strategic solutions towards developing the Bright Internet, with emphasis
on global trust building. Papers may employ any applicable IS research
method (case study, survey, analytical modeling, experiments,
computational models, design science, etc.).

Key Issues to be Discussed:  The key issues to be discussed at the BIG
summit include, but are not limited to, the following:
? How serious are the cybersecurity issues to companies, individual
citizens, and national security and what can be done about the issues?
? Is the current Internet security protection paradigm sustainable for the
future?
? Do we need a new preventive paradigm for deterring anonymous sources of
threat?
? What should be the architecture and protocol of future Internet?
? What are the critical success factors for the market driven bright cloud
networks?
? How serious are cross-border and detoured cyberattacks?
? What is the status of global cybersecurity, security governance in the
context of the Bright Internet initiative?
? What should be the goals of the next generation Internet, and what are
the principles that Bright Internet should adopt?
? What kind of protocols and technologies are necessary to implement
Bright Internet?
? What kinds of regulations need to be established or released to realize
the goals of Bright Internet?
? What would be novel, useful methodological approaches to establish the
Bright Internet?
? What new research propositions, frameworks, theories, and paradigms
surrounding the Bright Internet should we focus on for the next 10 years?

? What kind of knowledge units and certification would be necessary for
the Bright Internet?
