DESCRIPTION:Prof. Susan B. Davidson\, University of Pennsylvania\, USA \
 nAbstract:\nThe ability to capture\, manage and query workflow provenance 
 is increasingly important for scientific as well as business applications.
  However provenance is a double-edged sword:   Providing complete inform
 ation in response to provenance queries may not only be overwhelming for t
 he user\, but may reveal confidential information.  In this talk\, we dis
 cuss the use of provenance views to alleviate these problems\, and show ho
 w they can be used to address privacy concerns as well as to provide varyi
 ng levels of provenance information\, from fine-grained\, database-style i
 nformation to coarse-grained workflow-style information.  We also discuss
  how provenance queries can be efficiently processed over provenance views
 .\n\nBio:\nSusan B. Davidson received the B.A. degree in Mathematics from 
 Cornell University\, Ithaca\, NY\, in 1978\, and the M.A. and Ph.D. degree
 s in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from Princeton University
 \, Princeton NJ\, in 1980 and 1982. Dr. Davidson is the Weiss Professor an
 d Chair of Computer and Information Science at the University of Pennsylva
 nia\, where she has been since 1982.\nDr. Davidson's research interests in
 clude database and web-based systems\, scientific data management\, and "b
 ig data". She co-developed the Kleisli data integration system (with Drs. 
 Buneman\, Tannen\, Overton\, and Wong)\, which was used for on-the-fly dat
 a integration of large genomic datasets. She has also developed techniques
  for provenance management in scientific workflow systems\, including supp
 ort for search and query\, techniques for focusing user attention on "rele
 vant'' provenance information\, and marrying database-style and workflow-s
 tyle provenance management using Pig-Latin to elucidate the function of bl
 ack-box modules. More recently\, she has focused on privacy concerns surro
 unding the capture and use of provenance information in both databases and
  workflow systems.\nDr. Davidson was the founding co-director of the Penn 
 Center for Bioinformatics from 1997-2003\, and the founding co-director of
  the Greater Philadelphia Bioinformatics Alliance. She holds a secondary a
 ppointment in the Department of Genetics\, is an ACM Fellow\, received the
  Lenore Rowe Williams Award (2002)\, and was a Fulbright Scholar and recip
 ient of a Hitachi Chair (2004). She currently serves on the VLDB Executive
  Committee\, the CRA Board\, and is a member of the CCC Council.
