Security, Trust and Privacy for People and Organisations
Our group takes the perspective of the user and the decision-maker, and asks the questions: how can we run IT, make decisions about IT, and implement IT such that the business is secured but efficient and people feel safe but can be productive.We provide new, scalable technologies and methodologies in pursue of the holy grail: make deicions, operate and optimise information systems for the proven good of an organisation without any human intervention. That will never succeed completely, but it poses us interesting research targets. Our research is based on sound foundations in systems research. Our research is heavy on quantification, combining system measurement with mathematical modelling and system implementation. We build software and systems, apply math, and invent algorithms and architectures.

Our papers automatically appear at the author's school pages, so most can be found at Aad's page (unless, of course, Aad is not an author...).Links
- We are part of the Systems research group, Aad leads the group. Our subgroup in Trust and Security meets weekly, see info at internal wiki.
- Aad also heads the Centre for Cybercrime and Computer Security.
- We are affiliated with the Digital Institute.
- We are active in SiDE, the Social Inclusion in the Digital Economy hub. Chris is Research Associate and Aad is Director of Technology of the hub.
- Aad is a founding member of SSMEnetUK, the UK Network on Service Sciences Management and Engineering, which looks at IT decisions from a combined business-technical perspective.
- We (Emerson Ribeiro de Mello, Chris Smith, Aad van Moorsel, Philipp Reinecke (Humboldt), Savas Parastatidis (Microsoft) and Jim Webber (Thoughtworks)) won the 2006 IEEE Service Computing Contest, with 37 teams participating; in Chicago, during the finals, we beat universities like TU Wien, Milan, and UC Santa Barbara. You can read the report of our project to improve real-estate interactions.
- Finally, a bit cheesy perhaps, but also a bit Dutch (not necessarily an uncommon combination...)
