CS 2003-2004 Faculty Information
Professor Bertino is a co-editor-in-chief of the VLDB Journal and serves on the editorial boards of several journals -
many of which are related to security, such as the ACM Transactions on Information and System Security, the IEEE
Security & Privacy Magazine, and the International Journal of Information Security. She served as program chair of the
7th ACM Symposium on Access Control Models and Technologies (SACMAT02), and is currently serving as program
chair of the 9th International Conference on Extending Database Technology Conference (EDBT 2004). Professor
Bertino is a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers and has been recently elected ACM Fellow.
She also received the IEEE Computer Society Technical Achievement award in 2002 for “outstanding contributions to
database systems and database security and advanced data management systems.”

Bio-sketch:
Bharat Bhargava is a professor of the Department of Computer Science with a courtesy appointment in the School of
Electrical & Computer Engineering at Purdue University. Professor Bhargava is conducting research in security and
privacy issues in distributed systems. This involves host authentication and key management, secure routing and dealing
with malicious hosts, adaptability to attacks, and experimental studies. Related research is in formalizing evidence,
trust, and fraud.Applications in e-commerce and transportation security are being tested in a prototype system. Based
on his research in reliability, he is studying vulnerabilities in systems to assess threats to large organizations. He has
developed techniques to avoid threats that can lead to operational failures. The research has direct impact on nuclear
waste transport, bio-security, disaster management, and homeland security. These ideas and scientific principles are
being applied to the building of peer-to-peer systems, cellular assisted mobile ad hoc networks, and to the monitoring
of QoS-enabled network domains.
In the 1988 IEEE Data Engineering Conference, he and John Riedl received the best paper award for their work on “A
Model for Adaptable Systems for Transaction Processing.” Professor Bhargava is a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical
and Electronics Engineers and of the Institute of Electronics and Telecommunication Engineers. He has been awarded
the charter Gold Core Member distinction by the IEEE Computer Society for his distinguished service. He received
Outstanding Instructor Awards from the Purdue chapter of the ACM in 1996 and 1998. In 1999, he received the IEEE
Technical Achievement Award for a major impact of his decade long contributions to foundations of adaptability in
communication and distributed systems. In 2003, he was inducted in the Purdue’s Book of Great Teachers.
