he Big Data era is upon us data is being generated collected and analyzed at an unprecedented scale and data driven decision making is sweeping through all aspects of technology and society Since the value of data increases exponentially when it can be linked and fused with other data addressing

Discrepancy theory grew out of the study of irregularities of distribution and number sequences, or in layman s terms, trying to be an egalitarian economist. From its number theoretic origins

Topic Cloud computing is an enabler for innovation Cloud computing has been widely advocated as a game changer in the EU s economy for example as stated at the 2012 Davos Summit in January 2012 by European Commission Vice President Neelie Kroes who has pledged to work towards increasing the

Some forms of graph drawing date back to the Middle Ages, but it has only been in the last 30 years, with the development of computers and the ensuing explosion

Anonymous communication is rapidly growing in popularity both in the research community and in the real world due to the growing concerns about the digital trail we leave when we use the Internet Despite three decades of research in the field rigorously evaluating anonymity systems remains challenging Part of the

In the modern era with explosive growth of information it is important to process information in an efficient and meaningful manner Indeed collecting together overall information from different studies is a critical component for decision making Combined results from multiple studies summarize overall associations and inferences from the combined results

Recent years have witnessed exciting developments in cryptology There is a rapidly increasing amount of data available that are stored and processed in a distributed manner for instance in the cloud or as part of a network of smaller embedded devices This growth of information technology and its ubiquity in

The operation of modern power grids presents challenges and opportunities that are best met with appropriate technical methodology it is clear that future grids will rely to a much greater degree that is common today on extensive sensorization and algorithmic machinery to guide both strategic planning and real time operation

In recent years the collection and analysis of user data over the Internet has experienced a surge Online services and social networking sites have facilitated and encouraged the online disclosure of a wide array of personal information while webtracking platforms have enabled the consolidation of user data from disperse sources

The geological records of ancient environmental changes provide crucial archives for testing models of Earth system behavior including those used to project ongoing and future global change Yet the archives pose many statistical challenges The data sources are noisy diverse and full of gaps The locations and ages of observations

Information theoretic security has emerged as a promising new approach for achieving secure network communications at various protocol layers In particular it holds promise for wireless networks that have little or no infrastructure possess limited computational resources and are subject to dynamically changing environments In recent years this topic has

The last few years have seen an explosion of results concerning differential privacy across many distinct but overlapping communities Theoretical Computer Science Databases Programming Languages Machine Learning Data Mining Security and Cryptography Each of these different areas has different priorities and techniques and despite very similar interests motivations and choice

This one day workshop is designed for researchers who aspire to participate in NSF s Secure and Trustworthy Cyberspace SaTC program The workshop is by invitation only and is open to people with research interests in secure and trustworthy computing who are not currently funded by SaTC or any of

The constantly increasing volume of electronic interactions and sensitive information disseminated online raises privacy concerns and motivates the need for efficient privacy oriented techniques The aim of this Privacy Oriented Cryptography seminar was to bring together mainly but not only researchers working in different domains of cryptography and privacy Although

Transportation networks are vulnerable to disruptions from natural disasters and terrorist attacks. Due to the size and complexity of these networks, a quantitative method to identify the most vulnerable links

I will talk about random walks, and the important role they play in the natural and man-made algorithms all around us.

The output from numerical simulations and modern experiments consists of large data sets that contain errors ranging from small to large . This raises the question of how to determine
