Abstract
By rapidly moving towards the digital society, humans nowadays face with new forms of participation, better transparency and a flow of creative innovations. The concept of “the information and knowledge society”, described by Meier (eDemocracy & eGovernment: stages of a democratic knowledge society. Springer, 2012), is a constitutional part of the digital society development. Related topics like Cognitive Cities (Portmann and Finger, Towards cognitive cities. Studies in systems, decision and control, vol 63. Springer, 2016), Smart Democratic Participation (Teran, SmartParticipation: a fuzzy-based recommender system for political community-building. Springer, 2014), and Granular Knowledge Cube (Wehrle et al, Developing initial state fuzzy cognitive maps with self-organizing maps. In: AIC, pp 104–115, 2015; Denzler et al, World Acad Sci Eng Technol 9(6):334–340, 2015) among others have been addressed and developed within Information Systems Research Group. Those projects by applying fuzzy logic approaches such as fuzzy clustering, fuzzy databases, fuzzy cognitive maps, and others assisted to unveil the existence of the differentiated nature in the development process of the digital society. However, on the path towards it, a signification attention must be paid to citizens’ privacy and the will of personal disclosure. Following the design science research methodology, this chapter proposes the concept of the differentiated user privacy framework which uses fuzzy inference system to create an adaptive support for digital citizens in their privacy decision-making processes.
