5th VLDB Workshop on Secure Data Management (SDM)
- with a special session on security and privacy in healthcare -
http://www.hitech-projects.com/sdm-workshop/sdm08.html

In conjunction with 34th International Conference on Very Large
Databases
August 24-30, 2008, Auckland, New Zealand
https://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/research/conferences/vldb08/index.php/VLDB_08

The 5th SDM workshop builds upon the success of the first four workshops,
which were 
organized in conjunction with VLDB 2004 in Toronto, Canada, VLDB 2005 in
Trondheim, 
Norway, VLDB 2006 in Seoul, Korea, and VLDB 2007 in Vienna,
Austria.


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
- Private Information Retrieval
- Secure Auditing
- Search on Encrypted Data
- Digital and Enterprise Rights Management

Format of the workshop and proceedings
It is proposed to organize the workshop 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 four 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 (as it was done for the SDM
2007 workshop with 
the Journal of Computer Security).


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 [at] 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 April 1, 2008. Please check the workshop page for further
information and 
submission instructions:
