Identity Management in a Mobile World: user freedom in view of mobility challenges and opportunities
(1 day & a half)

The module will address the following challenging issues:

Which bridging technologies between mobile world as to profiling needs and users can help to preserve privacy/private spaces?

Mobile services are a new challenge and bring new opportunities for industries? Which kind of costs are to be budgeted for the implementation/delivery of these services? How to achieve the right balance between costs and benefits for the users?

Once this kind of services is available, will life be better? What is the impact of the mobile services on information society?

How to prevent secondary effects: spam, fraud, inappropriate content for children, inconvenient in public space, unsafe driving, etc?

Which modifications have to be applied on the existing legal framework to deal with identity information for mobile services?
  Pervasive mobility is influencing life in all its facets. Indeed, people are travelling more (with the need to stay in touch with family and friends), and are working in different places (at different offices, at home, in different countries). Mobility is a growing reality and the employees become more and more components of teams working from multiple locations.

The mobile world is not only a driver for enjoying freedom of movement but also a driver for improving quality of life and increasing all types of communications. Without a doubt, we can see the mobile world also as a support for special categories of citizens, such as persons with disabilities, healthcare professionals, researchers, etc.

Consequently, mobile solutions are becoming a new type of requirement for the near future. Such solutions have to take into account user needs and vary depending on the user context, role, network access, specific communication device (including user interface aspect), as well as user location, type of information and so on. So, mobility expectations raise high improvement in the professional and private lives of individuals.
