Data and Applications Security: Research Directions and Opportunities

保护可通过Web或其他方式访问的数据、信息和应用程序是许多组织的主要目标。虽然数据和应用程序安全研究取得了许多进展，包括执行访问控制策略、信任协商和保护Web服务，但数据和应用程序安全社区目前缺乏一个连贯的研究和开发方向。因此，该项目的目标是主办一次讲习班，审查数据和应用程序安全方面的发展，确定需要应对的挑战，并确定下一个十年的研究议程。研讨会的参加者是来自学术界、工业界和政府机构的信息安全、数据和知识管理领域的领先专家。研讨会计划包括个人演讲以及分组讨论和演讲。讲习班计划于2008年春季举行。研讨会议程、与会者、立场文件和报告将通过研讨会网站向公众公布：http://www.utdallas.edu/~lkhan/NSF-DAS-Workshop.htm

Securing data, information and applications accessible through the web or otherwise is a major goal for many organizations. While there have been many developments in data and applications security research including enforcing access control policies, trust negotiation, and securing web services, the data and applications security community currently lacks a coherent direction for research and development. Therefore the objective of this project is to host a workshop that examines the developments in data and applications security, determines the challenges that need to be addressed and establishes a research agenda for the next decade. The workshop participants are leading experts in the areas of information security and data and knowledgement management from academia, industry and government agencies. The workshop program includes individual presentations as well as breakout session discussions and presentations. The workshop is planned to take place in spring 2008. The workshop agenda, participants, position papers, and report will be made available to the public via the workshop website: http://www.utdallas.edu/~lkhan/NSF-DAS-Workshop.htm
