Cristina Nita-Rotaru’s research interests lie in designing distributed systems and network protocols and applications
that are dependable and secure, while maintaining acceptable levels of performance.
Her current research focuses on:
• designing intrusion-tolerant architectures for distributed services that scale to wide-area networks
• investigating survivable routing in wireless ad hoc networks
• providing access control mechanisms for secure group communication
Her work is funded by the Center for Education and Research in Information Security and Assurance (CERIAS), by the
Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), and by the National Science Foundation (NSF).

Bio-sketch:
Jens Palsberg is a Professor of Computer Science at UCLA and an Adjunct Professor of Computer Science at Purdue
University. From 1992-1996 he was a visiting scientist at various institutions, including MIT. He was an Associate
Professor of Computer Science at Purdue University from 1996-2002 and, from 2002-2003, Professor and Associate
Head of Computer Science at Purdue University. His research interests span the areas of compilers, embedded systems,
programming languages, software engineering, and information security. He has authored over 70 technical papers,
co-authored the book Object-Oriented Type Systems, and co-authored the 2002 revision of Appel’s textbook on
Modern Compiler Implementation in Java. He is the recipient of the National Science Foundation CAREER and ITR
awards, a Purdue University Faculty Scholar award, and an Okawa Foundation research award. Dr. Palsberg’s research
has also been supported by DARPA, IBM, Intel, and British Telecom. Dr. Palsberg is an associate editor of ACM
Transactions of Programming Languages and Systems, a member of the editorial board of Information and
Computation, and a former member of the editorial board of IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering. He is serving
as the general chair of the ACM Symposium on Principles of Programming Languages in 2005, he has served as a
program chair for the Static Analysis Symposium, the Symposium on Requirements Engineering for Information
Security, and the ACM Workshop on Program Analysis for Software Tools and Engineering, and he has been a member
of more than 40 other conference program committees.
