This conference, organised by the Belgian Privacy Commission, will take place in the context of the 2010 Belgian EU presidency and focuses on several target groups : the European data protection authorities, national and international academics and researchers. Two areas of scientific research will be examined: historical and clinical-medical research. The conference is primarily intended as a discussion forum on best practices in both areas, workshops will therefore be organised alongside the traditional plenary sessions.

Modern networked embedded systems deliver flexible and dynamically adaptive capabilities through embedded intelligence, diagnostics, advanced control and new paradigms of loosely-coupled elements riding on a large-scale infrastructure.
