The workshop Programming Languages in the Netherlands, supported by VERSEN, was a big success. A 12-presentation programme enticed plenty of discussion amoung the 50-60 participants. The CCI group contributed by organising the event (Thomas and Grace) and by giving two talks (Christopher on Seaso and Damian on language services).
Several CCI members have projects being funded for interdisciplinary research on the theme of Responsible Digital Transformation. Interesting aspect about these projects is that they involve (Co-)PIs from at least two faculties. Both projects involve Information Law.
The University of Amsterdam (UvA) is looking for a Postdoctoral Researcher in the area of programming languages, formal methods, and distributed systems. The goal of the research is to enable the integration and automatic enforcement of high-level contract specification within distributed systems for data exchange and federated data processing. Possible outcomes are: (domain-specific) software languages, system architecture designs, and prototypes for verifying contract specifications, language implementations, and auditing/monitoring components. The offered contract is for a minimum of 12 months. The closing date is the 25th of June. The ideal starting date the 1st of August.
The 22nd Smart Card Research and Advanced Application Conference (CARDIS 2023) will be hosted by CCI in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, on November 15-16, 2023, and is seeking original papers on the design, development, deployment, evaluation, penetration testing and application of smart cards and secure embedded systems.
Dr. Zoltan Mann gave an invited talk at this year’s Privacy Symposium, in the session From Cloud to Edge Security. Entitled Edge intelligence: friend or foe? (for security and privacy), Zoltan’s presentation discussed the security and privacy implications of artificial intelligence in edge computing.
Wiley awarded a “Top Downloaded Article” certificate to Dr. Zoltan Mann for his paper Comparison of workload consolidation algorithms for cloud data centers, published in the journal Concurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience.
IFIP Working Group 11.4 “Network & Distributed Systems Security” elected Dr. Zoltan Mann as the new chair of the working group in its meeting on 16 March 2023. Zoltan takes over the chair role from Professor Dogan Kesdogan, who will continue as secretary of the working group.
The paper titled Exploring the Enforcement of Private, Dynamic Policies on Medical Workflow Execution by Christopher A. Esterhuyse, Tim Muller, Thomas van Binsbergen, and Adam S. Z. Belloum was accepted at 18th IEEE eScience Conference 2022: Democratizing Science.
The paper titled On Achieving Privacy-Preserving State-of-the-Art Edge Intelligence by Daphnee Chabal, Dolly Sapra, and Zoltan Mann was accepted at 4th AAAI Workshop on Privacy-Preserving Artificial Intelligence. Abstract: Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) Inference in Edge Computing, often coined Edge Intelligence, requires solutions to insure that sensitive data confidentiality and intellectual property are not revealed in the process.
Join our team! We have an open position in the broad area of security and privacy. The position can be filled on the level of either Assistant Professor or Associate Professor.
