Design decisions in data modeling, logic databases, distributed databases, locking algorithms, and query languages have significant impact on whether the resulting system will be trustworthy and reliable, or whether the system will be asweak as the least trustworthy user or application program.
Security research is concerned in large part with reliability and trustworthiness of systems. Such work helps protect against user errors that could corrupt or destroy data as well as protecting against malicious users. Security issues are no longer just in the domain of military systems. Commercial and financial systems as well as corporate information networks are increasingly concerned with the trustworthiness of the distributed database systems on which they rely.
Meanwhile, it is important to extend collaborative systems to include multiple organizations engaged in joint ventures. Collaboration often involves shared access to common data, and with this comes the need for access controls and authentication. Organizations also are concerned with protection of proprietary information; flexible controls are needed in order for such protection to not stifle mutually beneficial collaboration.
Some of the other controversial issues we will address include:
