LPW 2022 ‒ The 4th Location Privacy Workshop
Location and mobility data are highly sensitive, as they can be used to infer a number of other personal and sensitive data on an individual. However, human mobility is highly predictable, and location information is routinely collected by location-aware devices (e.g. smartphones), connected vehicles, smart transportation systems, e-tolling, and cameras with face recognition among others.
Location privacy is a rapidly developing research area, and the fourth Location Privacy Workshop (LPW 2022) provides a platform for original research and discussion on all technical aspects of privacy and security of location-based services.

Accepted papers will appear in a volume accompanying the main IEEE Euro S&P 2022 proceedings, published by the IEEE. They will be available on IEEE Xplore and will be indexed by Scopus, dblp, etc.
