In an era of increasing reliance on technology, geospatial data plays a crucial role in shaping novel systems that drive decision-making, improve services, and drive innovation in fields ranging from social media and shopping to healthcare and transportation. In particular, the adoption of machine learning and deep learning techniques has heightened the demand for big geospatial data as well as magnified its transformative potential. Nevertheless, the availability and accessibility of this data, coupled with the security considerations surrounding the models that utilize it, have given rise to pressing ethical concerns that warrant our immediate attention. Striking a delicate balance between maximizing data utility and safeguarding individual privacy has become an imperative challenge. The processing of personal data poses inherent risks, including the potential infringement upon privacy rights and the potential for abuse or manipulation. As a result, profound ethical questions emerge, underscoring the interplay between utility and privacy. This workshop aims to bring together researchers and practitioners from diverse fields to delve into the multifaceted dimensions of geospatial data, unravel its potential implications and identify innovative solutions for enabling smart and safe societies.
We invite submissions covering a wide range of topics related to geospatial data-driven smart systems, including but not limited to:
Geospatial smart systems for individuals, communities, and society.
Data collection and use in smart systems.
Technical approaches for ensuring data privacy and security in smart systems.
Data governance and regulation in the context of geospatial smart systems.
Geospatial smart systems for individuals, communities, and society.
Case studies showcasing the application of geospatial smart systems in different domains (e.g., healthcare, transportation, urban planning, etc.).
Privacy control mechanisms: Privacy awareness, assessment, preserving, and user-centric privacy approaches.
Trustworthy, Explainable, and Robust AI for geospatial smart systems.
Attacks and mitigations for AI-based systems.

Submission Guidelines
Submission Guidelines
We invite papers discussing novel research and ideas without substantial overlap with papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference with proceedings. Contributions can be submitted in two types:
Regular research papers: These papers should report original research results or significant case studies. They should be at most 6 pages.
Position papers: These papers should report novel research directions or identify challenging problems. They should be at most 4 pages.
Submissions must be in PDF format and single-blind (include author names and affiliations). Papers should be prepared according to the ACM template. Paper submissions should be made through the EasyChair system:
https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=geoprivacy2024
All submissions will be peer-reviewed and accepted papers will be published in the ACM Digital Library.
One author per accepted contribution will be required to register for the workshop and the ACM SIGSPATIAL conference, as well as attend the workshop to present the work. Otherwise, the accepted submission will not appear in the ACM Digital Library.

Takuro Yonezawa (Nagoya University, Japan)
"Towards the Internet of Urban Realities"
Takuro Yonezawa is an associate professor in Graduate School of Engineering, Nagoya University, Japan. He received Ph.D. degree in the Media and Governance from Keio University in 2010. His research interests are the intersection of the distributed systems, human-computer interaction and sensors/actuators technologies. He is also leading several smart city projects as a technical coordinator, such as FP7/NICT European-Japanese collaborative research project (ClouT project), NICT social big data project, MIC G-Space city project, and so on. Currently, as the principal investigator of the JST CREST project (S5 Infrastructure Software Domain) and the JST RISTEX project (Social Isolation and Loneliness Prevention Domain), he is promoting research on the Internet of Realities. He was awarded IBM Ph.D. Fellowship Award (2009), IPSJ Yamashita SIG Research Award (2013/2019), IPSJ/IEEE Computer Society Young Computer Researcher Award(2021) and so on.
