Title: From Trusted Computing to Ubisafe
Computing
Abstract: Trusted/trustworthy Computing
(TC) recently is attracting great attention and is intending to build a unified
framework or general computing paradigm to cover various aspects including
security, reliability, risk, reputation, and so on. Trust is indeed very
important and greatly expected especially in cooperation among hardware,
software, services, etc. In our life experience, trust is only one of the key
elements in cooperative processes. The cooperation is just one relationship
between entities in the real world. Actually there are many other
relationships, such as loosely coupled, mutual use, non-cooperation,
competition, fight, and so on. No matter what relationships exist, what users
often desire is that they can receive satisfactory services and get things done
safely.
Although
computer and network safety has been studied for several decades, we still have
several basic questions to answer: (1) Do we really understand all kinds of new
risks, possibly ubiquitous dangers, in using novel computers/networks that are
attached, embedded or blended into real objects and environments? (2) Do we
really have efficient and effective solutions to precisely predict and further
prevent the risks/dangers under various situations in the complex computing
environment? (3) Can we create risk-less or danger-proof computing environments
in which all people can really enjoy ubiquitous services without any anxiety
about safety problems covering dependability, security, privacy, persistency, distrust,
disaster, uncertainty, unpredictability, out of control, and so on? Ubisafe Computing is to address challenges related to the
above questions, and provide a unified solution for all people to get benefit
from trustworthy ubiquitous services and simultaneously guarantee their desired
safety.
Short
Bio: Jianhua Ma is the Professor
at the Faculty of Computer and Information
Sciences of Hosei University since 2000. Previously,
he had 15 years’ teaching/research experience at NUDT,
Dr. Ma is the
Co-Editor-in-Chief
of three international journals: Journal of
Ubiquitous Computing and Intelligence (JUCI), Journal of Mobile Multimedia (JMM) and Journal of Autonomic and Trusted Computing
(JoATC), and the Assistant
Editor-in-Chief of International Journal
of Pervasive Computing and Communications (JPCC). He is on the editorial board of IJCPOL, IJDET, IJWMC, IJSH and IJSIA, and has edited more than 10 journal special issues as a Guest
Editor. He organized the 6th Int’l
Conference on Distributed Multimedia Systems (DMS’99) as PC Co-Chair, the 1st
Int’l Conference on Cyber Worlds (CW’02) as
one of founders and PC Co-Chairs, and the 2004
IEEE Int’l Conference on Advanced
Information Networks and Applications (AINA’04) as a General Co-Chair. He is the founder of Int’l Conf. on Ubiquitous
Intelligence and Computing (UIC) and Int’l Conf. on Autonomic and Trusted
Computing (ATC), which started from 2005. He has served many other
conferences/workshops as various chairs and committee members. He
is the Chair of IEEE Task Force on
Autonomic and Trusted Computing, and received the Appreciation Certificate
from IEEE Computer Society in 2004-2007.
