[Tccc] Call For Papers: 6th VLDB Workshop on Secure Data Management (SDM)

Deadline for paper submission extended: May 31, 2009

6th VLDB Workshop on Secure Data Management (SDM)

- with a special session on security and privacy in healthcare -

http://www.hitech-projects.com/sdm-workshop/sdm09.html

August 28, 2009 Lyon, France

In conjunction with 35th International Conference

on Very Large Databases: http://vldb2009.org/

The 6th SDM workshop builds upon the success of the first five SDM

workshops, which were organized in conjunction with VLDB 2004 in

Toronto, Canada, VLDB 2005 in Trondheim, Norway, VLDB 2006 in

Seoul, Korea, VLDB 2007 in Vienna, Austria, and VLDB 2008 in

Auckland, New Zealand.

Motivation

Although cryptography and security techniques have been around for quite

some time, emerging technologies such as ubiquitous computing and ambient

intelligence that exploit increasingly interconnected networks, mobility

and personalization, put new requirements on security with respect to

data management. As data is accessible anytime anywhere, according to

these new concepts, it becomes much easier to get unauthorized data access.

Furthermore, it becomes simpler to collect, store, and search personal

information and endanger people's privacy. Therefore, research in the area

of secure data management is of growing importance, attracting attention

of both the data management and security research communities.

The interesting problems range from traditional ones such as, access

control (with all variations, like dynamic, context-aware, role-based),

database security (e.g. efficient database encryption schemes, search

over encrypted data, etc.), privacy preserving data mining to controlled

sharing of data.

This year, we will continue with a tradition to have a special session

devoted to secure data management in healthcare. Data security and privacy

issue are traditionally important in the medical domain. However, recent

developments and increasing deployment of IT in healthcare such as

the introduction of electronic health records and extramural applications

in the personal health care domain, pose new challenges towards

the protection of medical data. In contrast to other domains, such as

financial, which can absorb the cost of the abuse of the system,

healthcare cannot. Once sensitive information about individual's

health problems is uncovered and social damage is done, there is no way

to revoke the information or to restitute the individual. In addition to

this, the medical field has some other specific characteristics, such as

long-term value of medical data and flexibility with respect to, on one

hand confidentiality, and on the other hand availability of medical data

in the case of emergency.

Aim

The aim of the workshop is to bring together people from the security

research community and data management research community in order to

exchange ideas on the secure management of data. This year an additional

special session will be organized with the focus on secure and private

data management in healthcare. The workshop will provide forum for

discussing practical experiences and theoretical research efforts that

can help in solving the critical problems in secure data management.

Authors from both academia and industry are invited to submit papers

presenting novel research on the topics of interest (see below).

Topics

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) the following:

- Secure Data Management

- Database Security

- Data Anonymization/Pseudonymization

- Data Hiding

- Metadata and Security

- XML Security

- Authorization and Access Control

- Data Integrity

- Privacy Preserving Data Mining

- Statistical Database Security

- Control of Data Disclosure

Format of the workshop and proceedings

It is proposed to organize the workshop in conjunction with the VLDB

conference. Provisional program:

1. Invited Talk

2. Presentation of papers with discussions

3. Special session on secure data management in healthcare

4. Panel discussion

The workshop will be organized in conjunction with the

VLDB conference. Also, it is the intention to publish the proceedings

in the Spinger-Verlag Lecture Notes on Computer Science series as it

was done for the first five workshops. Additionally, we also want to

select the best papers with the intent to publish their extended and

revised versions in a special edition of a journal (tba).

Paper submission

Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished research papers

that are not being considered for publication in any other forum.

Manuscripts should be submitted electronically as PDF or PS files

via email to al_sdm05@natlab.research.philips.com. Full papers should

not exceed fifteen pages in length (formatted using the camera-ready

templates of Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science). We also encourage

submitting position statement papers describing research work in progress

or lessons learned in practice (max six pages). Submissions must be received


no later than May 31, 2009. Please check the workshop page for further

information and submission instructions:
