Kathrin is a medical oncologist at the Center of Hematology and Medical Oncology, Wilhelminenspital, Wien.

Kathrin is the medical lead of the project “Semantische Suche” run by the Clinical Research Center of Wiener Krankenanstaltenverbund. The goal of this project is to extract data (diagnoses, medication, services etc.) from unstructured electronic medical records by a software tool. The retrieved information is turned into structured data to be used for research and controlling purposes. Since medial records contain sensitive information, information security is a key requirement.

Topic: “Secure Credential Management with Vault in Kubernetes”

Tomasz Miksa, acting as the co-chair of the DMP Common Standards working group, presented a new standard for machine-actionable DMPs at the webinar organised by Research Data Alliance (RDA). The webinar attracted more than 230 participants from all around the world.

The webinar focused on RDA groups and outputs related to Data Management Plans (DMPs). It highlighted ongoing work in RDA from the perspectives of RDA Interest and Working Group chairs, facilitating discussion between the chairs and potential adopters of RDA Recommendations and Outputs. Recordings and slides of the webinar are available here.

Researchers have developed a program that enables identification of almost every American through anonymized data.
Maha Sounble gave a talk on “pseudonymization vs anonomyzation” at the 2019 sec4dev conference + bootcamp.

Security Meetup by SBA Research

Bernhard Garn and Dimitris Simos from SBA’s MaTRIS research group (https://matris.sba-research.org/) join the 32nd International Conference on Industrial, Engineering & Other Applications of Applied Intelligent Systems (IEA/AIE 2019), July 9-11, 2019 (https://ieaaie2019.ist.tugraz.at/).

Bernhard and Dimitris also present their paper ‘A Fault-Driven Combinatorial Process for Model Evolution in XSS Vulnerability Detection’ (Bernhard Garn (SBA Research, Austria), Marco Radavelli (University of Bergamo, Italy), Angelo Gargantini (University of Bergamo, Italy), Manuel Leithner (SBA Research, Austria) and Dimitris E. Simos (SBA Research, Austria)), which proposes an iterative process that evolves an input model for security testing.

The 32nd International Conference on Industrial, Engineering & Other Applications of Applied Intelligent Systems continues the tradition of emphasizing applications of applied intelligent systems to solve real-life problems in all areas. These areas include: engineering, science, industry, automation & robotics, business & finance, medicine and biomedicine, bioinformatics, cyberspace, and human-machine interactions. IEA/AIE 2019 has a special focus on automated driving, autonomous systems, robotics, and AI in tourism.
