ACM hopes that you joined us at our incredibly successful annual midwestern computing conference, Reflections | Projections 2003. Congratulations to everyone who helped run this event!
We had several great speakers attend. Matt Blaze, a research scientist at AT&T Labs, gave a talk on similarities between computer security and lock picking. Read his research paper on the subject at http://www.crypto.com/papers/mk.pdf.
Ryohei Nakatsu, from the Advanced Telecommunications Research Institute, gave a talk on the fast-moving field of immersive computing, and how artificial intelligence can be applied to the subject. Seth Schoen of the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) gave a talk on trusted computing and its civil liberties implications.
Doug Bayer, the head of Microsoft's security department, spoke on the subject of the current state of anti-virus software technology. We had Mike Kulas and Mark Allender from Volition, and of course our keynote speech, Dr Barbara Simons, who talked about the current state of electronic voting.
The annual MechMania programming contest went off with only minor glitches. The winning team was "9 CIA Ham Men," which consisted of John Carrino, Brian Pellin, and Adam Eidukas.
