The primary goal of security mechanisms is to provide protection against
malicious parties. With the fast emergence of a global Internet featuring
computing clouds and heterogeneous computing platform, the security of the
hardware resources, the data exchanged and the executions carried on plays an
increasingly important role in today's information society. However, in wide
range of security challenges the traditional security techniques cannot be
applied. These challenges are typically addressed by so called soft security
mechanisms were the notion of trust plays major role.
University of Luxembourg (
UL) has recently signed agreements on cooperation with two
prestigious polish scientific institutions,
Instytut Podstaw Informatyki Polskiej Akademii Nauk (
IPIPAN) and the
Warsaw University of Technology - Politechnika Warszawska (
WUT).
The goal of these agreements is focused on student exchange, common supervision
of PhD students and scientific collaboration between the researchers of these
institutions leading to joint educational and research programs. The
Luxembourg-Polish Workshop on Security and Trust is the next step to enhance the
cooperation between Luxembourg and Polish academic societies working in the
field of security (which constitutes the first research priority of the
UL).
The workshop aims at grouping high profile research experts of Luxembourg and
Poland working in these fields, leading to creation of a platform for research
collaboration with international partners.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- information security and cryptology;
- communication and network security;
- system security and reliability;
- computing grids and cloud security;
- formal methods in security and reliability;
- access and usage control;
- security and privacy policies;
- trust models and trust management;
- fault tolerance;
- electronic voting;
- risk management and business processes.
