IFIP Working Group 11.3 has the following Aim and Scope:
.RS
To advance technologies that support
.RS
.IP *  
the statement of security requirements for database systems, 
.IP *
the design, implementation, and operation of database 
systems that include security functions, and 
.IP *
the assurance that implemented database systems meet 
their security requirements.
.RE
.LP
To promote wider understanding of the risks to society
of operating database systems that lack adequate measures
for security or privacy.
.LP
To encourage the application of existing technology for
enhancing the security of database systems.
.RE
.LP
The Working Group maintains a list of current research questions
in database security to help frame its work.  This list 
is summarized below.
.PP
The purposes of this Working Conference are to present original
results in database security research and development,
to discuss in depth the current state of research and practice 
in database security, to enable participants to benefit from 
personal contact and expand their knowledge, to support the 
activities of the Working Group, and to disseminate the results 
of the discussion.
.PP 
Papers will be refereed by members of the Working Group and will
be selected based on technical merit and their relationship to
the Aim and Scope.  The meeting will be organized to
provide ample time for discussions, both formal and informal,
of the papers presented and of the research questions.  
Meeting attendance will be limited to about forty participants.

The conference will be held at the Lake Guntersville State Park Lodge,
which is located on the top of Little Mountain and commands a magnificent 
view of the 66,470 acre (26,910 hectare) lake. Available park activities 
include swimming, tennis, golf as
well as hiking within the heavily wooded 5,559 acre (2,250 hectare) park
that ranges
from mountain top to lake shore.
Within a short drive of the lodge can be found the
worlds largest collection of flying replicas of World War I aircraft at
Lake Guntersville
Aero as well as one of the largest collections of outlet stores in the
country, at the nearby town of Boaz. 
The lodge is located in northern Alabama about 50 miles (80 km)
east of Huntsville, which is the location of the Alabama Space and
Rocket Center (the
world's largest space center) and NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center.

Summary of Research Question List
.R
.ce 0

.LP
1.  What are good techniques for describing the various
factors involved in designing secure database systems, such
as:

.RS 
.IP *   
security and privacy policies or policy requirements,
.IP *   
threats to system security,
.IP *   
costs/benefits of meeting security and privacy requirements (or risks of
not meeting them)?
.RE

.LP 
What relationships should exist between these descriptions
and those already associated with database systems, such as
queries, views, and schemas?

.LP 
2.  What are good methodologies for:

.RS 
.IP *   
obtaining these descriptions
.IP *   
using them in developing secure database systems (including 
associated applications)
.IP *   
determining that the implemented systems are consistent
with their descriptions/specifications?
.RE

.LP 
3.  What are the functionality, performance, and security
interactions and tradeoffs of various technical features of
database systems, such as the supported:
 
.RS
.IP *   
query facilities
.IP *   
data/object model
.IP *   
data types
.IP *   
concurrency/recovery facilities
.IP *   
inference/deduction capabilities
.RE

.LP 
or the organizations of components (architectures) of such
systems, such as:

.RS 
.IP *   
distributed systems
.IP *   
client/server architectures
.IP *   
layered/modular internal system architectures?
.RE

.LP 
4.  What information can be maintained or generated by a
database system to assist in maintaining security or privacy,
and what are good techniques for using such information,
either at run-time or in subsequent analysis, to detect and
discourage security violations?
