Provenance in Secure and Advanced Computer Systems

Provenance, briefly, is information "about" a computation, ranging from simple metadata such as time/date/ownership records in file systems to fine-grained explanations showing how the data in the result of a database query or complex distributed computation was derived. Recently there has been increased interest in developing advanced forms of provenance for scientific databases, scientific computing and other eScience or eResearch applications.

This is the final symposium in the Principles of Provenance Theme. Its aim is to bring leading researchers together with researchers in scientific disciplines with emerging needs involving data provenance, integrity, accountability and audit, and provide time and space for in-depth collaboration.

It will focus on "Provenance in Security and Advanced Computer Systems", particularly:

  • Provenance aware/versioned file systems
  • Provenance and audit/integrity/information flow security
  • Trusted computing
  • Traces and reflective/adaptive/self-adjusting systems
  • Digital libraries
  • Privacy/anonymity, data forensics
  • Provenance or provenance security in database, workflow, or other computer systems

The goals of the workshop are:

  • to familiarize leading researchers working on the above topics with each others' work
  • to publicize and disseminate this work and its applications to the broader eScience community in Edinburgh and the UK
  • to encourage new work and collaboration on provenance techniques and applications
