Workshop on security and privacy in collaborative working, Cardiff, UK
13 September 2010 - 13 September 2010
United Kingdom
A workshop on security and privacy in collaborative working will take place in Cardiff, UK from 13 to 16 September 2010.
The emergence of high-speed networks, cloud computing, service-oriented architectures, web 2.0 and an ever increasing ambient connection to mobile internet has enabled an underpinning infrastructure for the development of dynamically-formed, collaborative working groups.
Increased collaboration between individuals and organisations often leads to the sharing of information and services outside of an owner's area of control. This provides strong motivation for investigation into the infrastructure, and in particular the security necessary to protect the information and resources shared within these environments. This research needs to address, among other things, collaboratively developed security policy, continued ownership and control of shared information, intellectual property, privacy requirements and content specific information security requirements.
Secure collaborative working is an essential part of eScience. Such collaboration could take place within many scientific domains, such as in bio-sciences and particle physics, where data must be shared securely and in accordance with specific usage policies.
The aim of the workshop is therefore to bring together a diverse community of individuals to identify best practice and share experiences. The outcome could be the basis for defining a `roadmap' in this area.For further information, please visit:
