KEY HIGHLIGHTS

Michael Tschantz (ICSI) has started to translate the concept of context into a formal representation with guidance from Helen Nissenbaum (Cornell Tech). The current focus is on how a context can be formed by smaller "sub-contexts" composing together. Our working hypothesis is that the "values" of a sub-context may come from the purpose of the super-context.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENTS

Helen hosted a symposium on Contextual Integrity at Princeton, where many of these issues were discussed.
