- APHID: A Practical Architecture for High-Performance, Privacy-Preserving Data Mining
- While the emerging field of Privacy Preserving Data Mining PPDM will enable many new data mining applications, it suffers from several practical difficulties. PPDM algorithms are difficult to develop and computationally intensive to execute. Developers need convenient abstractions to reduce the costs of engineering PPDM applications. The individual parties involved...

- Use Concurrent Programming Models to Motivate Teaching of Programming Languages
- Undergraduate computer science students typically have only a limited understanding of their favorite languages and no inkling of other programming paradigms. Yet modern programmers typically work with several languages, and the availability of cheap concurrency is exposing fundamental problems in standard concurrent programming techniques mutable objects and threads. This situation...
