Abstract:                      Administration, not hardware or software,
dominates the cost of ownership for databases. We survey the most severe
administration challenges that large enterprises face in the areas of
access control policies and enabling data exchange. Researchers need to
play a key role in ameliorating these difficulties, as much by creating
formal problems from the practical morass, as by developing new models
and techniques. For data security, we identify two major sources of
administration complexity: semantic gaps, and policies that are a
composite of many separate stakes. We also speculate about securing
overlapping SQL, XML, SOAP, and RDF data. For data sharing, we discuss
the need to go beyond passive interoperability, to influencing (not
managing) enterprise data. Throughout, we weave the themes (and research
problem generators) of metrics, first class views and reformulating
challenges to apply in an imperfect world.

 

 

Bio:                              Dr. Arnon Rosenthal works in many
areas of data management research, and on data issues in security and
object management. At The MITRE Corp., he is involved with advanced data
management projects.  His current research seeks to simplify
administration of data shared among many user communities, including
data warehouses, federated databases and business object suites.  One
line of research examines security for such environments, while another
addresses frameworks for general metadata administration there. Previous
employers include Computer Corp. of America, Sperry Research and
University of Michigan, as well as visiting positions at IBM Almaden and
ETH Zurich.
