Dear all,
enclosed in this message please find the call for participation for next month's workshop. I'd be very grateful if you could circulate this among your colleagues.
The keynote talk will be given (see below) by Roger Schell, which I hope will result in lively discussion.
=========================================================================== CALL FOR PARTICIPATION Third IEEE International Information Assurance Workshop March 23-24, 2005 --- College Park, MD, USA http://iwia.org/2005
Sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society Task Force on Information Assurance in cooperation with the ACM Special Interest Group on Security, Audit, and Control
This third international workshop on information assurance pursues several goals. One is the dissemination of research across the spectrum of information assurance and the fostering of a scientific community working in this field. Another primary goal is to bring together researchers and practitioners from both governmental, defense, intelligence, and civilian areas and to stimulate discussions on current and future problems as well as solutions.
The workshop will encompass two days and be highly interactive with sufficient time between refereed presentations for discussions and hopefully the establishment of research collaborations.
Schedules permitting, some participants may wish to remain after the workshop, which ends on Thursday, to enjoy the opening of the cherry blossoms and the start of the National Cherry Blossom Festival on Saturday in Washington, D.C.
For information on the program, location of the workshop, accommodation and registration please see http://iwia.org/2005.
The keynote talk will be given by Dr. Roger Schell.
Dr. Schell is co-founder and President of Aesec Corporation, a new company focused on verifiably secure platforms for secure, reliable e-business. At Novell he led their Class C2 network evaluation, managed development of product security, and holds patents in cryptography and authentication. He was VP for Engineering at Gemini Computers where he developed their highly secure (Class A1) commercial product.
Before that, he served as the founding Deputy Director of the National Computer Security Center and worked on the security mechanisms of the MULTICS operating system. Dr. Schell has more than 60 publications, and was Associate Professor of Computer Science at the Naval Postgraduate School. His pioneering efforts in computer security were recognized by the NIST and NSA with the 1991 National Computer System Security Award.
