                  (registration required by June 20)
                       http://mmds.stanford.edu

The 2008 Workshop on Algorithms for Modern Massive Data Sets (MMDS
2008) will address algorithmic, mathematical, and statistical
challenges in modern statistical data analysis. The goals of MMDS 2008
are to explore novel techniques for modeling and analyzing massive,
high-dimensional, and nonlinearly-structured scientific and internet
data sets, and to bring together computer scientists, statisticians,
mathematicians, and data analysis practitioners to promote
cross-fertilization of ideas.

          DIRECTIONS AND IMPLICATIONS OF ADVANCED COMPUTING
                              DIAC-2008
            On Thursday - Sunday, 26-29 June 2008, all day
                             UC Berkeley

        http://www.ischool.berkeley.edu/about/events/conf20080626

It has been twenty-one years since the DIAC Symposium for exploring
the Directions and Implications of Advanced Computing was first
convened in Seattle.

Now, in the early days of the 21st century humankind faces challenges
of even greater proportions than those perceived in 1987.  The ability
of people around the world to discuss, make decisions, and take action
collaboratively is critical to addressing these challenges.
Unfortunately, this fact is rarely acknowledged by decision-makers.

Researchers, scholars, activists, advocates, artists, educators,
technologists, designers, students, policy-makers, entrepreneurs,
journalists and citizens are rising to these challenges in many ways,
including the development of new communication technologies that build
on the opportunities afforded by the Internet and other new (as well
as old) media.

DIAC-2008 combines CPSR's 11th DIAC symposium with the third
Conference on Online Deliberation. The joint conference provides a
platform and a forum for highlighting socio-technological
opportunities, challenges, and pitfalls in the area of community and
civic action.

In addition to the wide range of planned events there will be
extensive opportunities for collegial discussion at the conference.
Register now for an innovative and compelling exploration of the
future of meaningful social participation. We have kept registration
fees low to encourage wide attendance.

Europe in One Room

We have the opportunity to preview the rough cut of "Europe in One
Room." This new documentary tells the story of the first European Wide
Deliberative Poll in which a scientific sample of all of Europe
gathered in the Parliament Building in Brussels in October 2007 to
deliberate for three days about the future of Europe. Each of the 27
countries were represented and the issues were discussed in 22
languages. Told through the eyes of the participants and organizers,
this unprecedented experiment in transnational democracy shows that
dialogue across differences of language and nationality is possible.
This project is based on the work of Stanford professor Jim Fishkin
who will be present at the showing.

Open Space Session

We're planning an Open Space Technology session on "The Future of
Tools for Participation: Visions, Resources and Needs" as a capstone
event on the last day of the conference, June 29. This event will be
free to the public (although donations are strongly encouraged). The
open space approach may be the best way to spend less structured
time as a collective group to formulate research and action plans.

Berkeley, California

It's generally warm (but not hot) in Berkeley in late June.
Berkeley, California, is known for its higher education and
cosmopolitan culture and is the home of social movements, such as
the Free Speech Movement, as well as innovative technology such as
BSD (Berkeley Unix). The conference hotel is located on the water
with a view of the San Francisco skyline.


NOTE: We are still looking for a few dedicated volunteers.  If you
are available for volunteer work now (and you live in the Bay Area)
or if you plan to be in the Bay Area in time for the event, let me
know. Douglas ]at[ publicsphereproject ]dot[ org.

"Love and Authentication -- Addressing the problem of password reset"
                           Markus Jakobsson
                                 PARC

One of the most commonly neglected security vulnerabilities associated
with typical online service providers lies in the password reset
process. By being based on a small number of questions whose answers
often can be derived using data-mining techniques, or even guessed,
many sites are open to attack.  To exacerbate the problem, many sites
pose the very same questions to users wishing to reset their forgotten
passwords, creating a common "meta password" between sites: the
password reset questions. At the same time, as the number of accounts
per user increases, so does the risk for the user to forget her
password. Unfortunately, the cost of a customer-service mediated
password reset, currently averaging $22, is far beyond possible for
most service providers. In this talk, an alternative technique will be
presented.  It is fast and efficient, is compatible with
input-constrained devices (such as handheld devices), and has low
error rates. It is in the process of being commercialized, with a
Fortune 500 company intending to deploy it by the end of the year.

About the Speaker: Dr. Markus Jakobsson is Principal Scientist at Palo
Alto Research Center. He is a founder of the security startup
RavenWhite, which addresses security problems associated with
authentication, malware and click-fraud. He is also one of the
founders of SecurityCartoon, an educational approach targeting typical
Internet users. Previously, he has held positions as Associate
Professor at Indiana University, Adjunct Associate Professor at New
York University, Principal Research Scientist at RSA Security, and was
a member of the Technical Staff at Bell Labs. He is a visiting
research fellow of the Anti-Phishing Working Group (APWG).
Dr. Jakobsson's recent books Phishing and Countermeasures (Wiley,
2006) and Crimeware: Understanding New Attacks and Defenses (Symantec
Press, 2008) chart new territory in online security.  He received his
PhD from University of California at San Diego in 1997.
