Welcome Address: Ipke Wachsmuth, Managing Director ZIF |
| 09:45-10:15 |
Welcome Address: Organizers |

Opening Address - Ethical Surveillance? D. J. Phillips |
David Phillips hosted the original NSF grant which funded the proposal working group and coined the term 'ethical surveillance infrastructures'. |
| 11:00-12:30 |
Perspectives on Implants (Chair: DJP) |
| 11:00-11:30 |
Ethical perspectives in Implants: M. Nagenborg |
Organizers will map the theoretical terrain and unpack the notion of ethical surveillance infrastructures. These are the frameworks which will be used to inform dialogue in the moderated discussion at the end of the session, and the following afternoon breakout session. |
| 11:30-12:00 |
Implants as Part of Enabling Environments: D. M. Wood, K. Ball |
| 12:00-12:30 |
RFID Implants and Social Inequalities in the U.S.: T. Monahan |
| 12:30-14:00 |
Lunch |
| 14:00-16:00 |
Breakout Groups |
In this session, 3 breakout groups of 5 - 6 people will discuss recent key documents about implantation. The documents will present popular, industry, or government views on implants (to supplement academic perspectives). Discussion groups will respond directly to the three primary research questions of the workshop. |
| 16:00-16:30 |
Coffee Break |
| 16:30-17:15 |
Report back to floor |
15 min. per group |
| 17:15-17:30 |

Keynote 1 - Brain-Reading and Brain-Writing Computer Interfaces: From Interaction Models to Ethical Reflection: G. Tamburrini |
| Sep. 4, 2008 |
Overall objectives of the day are to consider agency, power, and resistance, to consider the experience of implantation. |
| 09:00-10:00 |
Keynote 2 - Implants, victims and offenders: M. Nellis |
| 10:00-12:30 |
Individual and social dimensions of the body |
| 11:00-11:45 |
Self-ownership of the body: K. Weber |
This session presents two very different perspectives on the biopolitical positioning/siting of the body in relation to self and systems. |
| 11:45-12:30 |
New body ontologies: J. Weber |
| 12:30-14:00 |
Lunch + Travel Reimbursments |
| 14:00-16:00 |
Benefits of Implants |
| 14:00-15:00 |
Participatory Surveillance and the Body: A. Albrechtslund |
This is designed as a contrast to the second session of the day and presents an alternative view of living with implants. |
| 15:00-16:00 |
Enabling Environments: D. M. Wood |
| 16:00-16:30 |
Coffee Break |
| 16:30-18:00 |
Designing an ontology of implants |
Based on previous sessions, participants will define, through discussion, an ontology of implantation, taking into account ethical surveillance infrastructures, power, resistance and agency. |
| 18:00-Open End |
BBQ |
| Sep. 5, 2008 |
The final day of the workshop is to progress further towards a transdisciplinary ontology of implants. |
| 09:00-10:00 |
Keynote 3: D. Lyon |
This session will synthesise progress so far and offer a platform for discussing the remaining issues. The session will focus explicitly on the ethics of surveillance, in which Professor Lyon is a globally significant figure (c.f.: Lyon, 2002, 2003). |
| 10:00-10:15 |
Short Break |
| 10:15-11:30 |
Breakout Groups |
3 Groups will summarize the ways in which the objectives of the workshop have been addressed. |
| 11:30-11:45 |
Short Break |
| 11:45-12:30 |
Report back of the Breakout Groups |
Groups will offer conclusions about ethical surveillance infrastructures and implants (15 min. each). |
| 12:30-13:00 |
Summary by the Organizers and Conclusion of the Workshop |
The conclusion will focus on the "proof of concept" i.e.: the dimensions of the ontology, and outline the expected outputs. |
| 13:00 |
