Abstract

Kaleidoscope 2015: Trust in the Information Society  is the seventh series of peer-reviewed academic conferences organized by ITU, the United Nations Specialized Agency for the  information and communication technologies (ICTs). These conferences  bring together a wide range of views from universities, industry and research institutions of different fields. The aim is to identify emerging developments in ICTs and, in particular, areas in need of international standards to support the development of successful products and services. Kaleidoscope 2015 will analyze means of building information infrastructures deserving our trust. The event will highlight ideas and research that will help ensure the Information Society’s growth in inclusivity and sustainability thanks to its trusted foundations.  The Conference will provide an opportunity to share views on the future of the ICT sector and, in particular, to analyze the notion of “trust” in the ICT context as well as innovations embedding trust into ICT ecosystems and infrastructures to bring greater certainty, confidence and predictability to our interactions within the Information Society.
