Professor of Computer Sciences, the university’s Information Systems Security Officer, and Director of the Center for Education and Research in Information Assurance and Security (CERIAS). CERIAS is a campus-wide multi-disciplinary Center, with a broadly focused mission to explore issues related to protecting information and information resources.

Keynote Speaker: Martin Sadler
Department Manager of Hewlett Packard’s European corporate research laboratories. Martin is responsible for HP lab’s work on security and for its applications to e-business. Martin’s first degree was in pure mathematics. He spent 6 years in the Department of Computing at Imperial College, London, where he lectured theoretical computing science and advanced software engineering. He joined Hewlett Packard in 1989 leading the research project that resulted in the company’s first workflow product. Martin has also managed projects in the areas of policy and telephony call control. He is a member of the Numbering Advisory Group to Oftel, the UK’s telecommunications regulator, where he advises on the impact to the UK’s National Numbering Plan of the convergence of computing and communications.
