[IP] National Academies' Workshop, Electronic Voting




An upcoming National Academy of Science Workshop on "Building Certifiably Dependable Systems" that will have a session on Electronic Voting Systems. The workshop is open to all participants.

The National Academies have an ongoing study on building certifiably dependable systems. It is addressing system certification and examining application domains (including electronic voting) and their approaches to software evaluation and assurance. The National Academies are holding a workshop on April 19-20 at Georgetown University Center on Reservoir Road to survey a variety of perspectives and to promote dialogue between the research community and government and industry practitioners who develop safety-critical systems.

Session F of this workshop will be dedicated to a Case Study: Electronic Voting - What role does software play in voting? - What properties fo the software might be certified? - What would the certification process be? Who would be involved; What credibility would it have; who has to be trusted? - Is this case study typical or unique in some ways?

Point of contact for this workshop is Lynnette Millett:  lmillett@xxxxxxx
