Dr Sylvia Osborne
Biography
Born in Timmins, Ontario, Canada, Sylvia Osborn received her PhD in Computer Science from the University of Waterloo. Since 1977, she has been a faculty member in the Computer Science Department at the University of Western Ontario in London, Ontario, Canada. She is the author of numerous research papers, starting in the database field in dependency theory, and object-oriented databases. More recently she has been active in research into role-based access control including administration of access control, delegation and the integration of privacy issues with access control. Dr. Osborn has been a member of many program committees for database conferences as well as security conferences and has served on the steering committee for the SACMAT series of symposia. She has also been active in accreditation of Computer Science programs in Canada.
Steve Marsh
Biography
Steve Marsh is a Trust Scientist and a thought leader in the phenomenon of trust for and in computational systems.
His PhD (University of Stirling, 1994) was a seminal work that introduced the first formalisation of the phenomenon of trust (the concept of 'Computational Trust'), and applied it to Multi Agent Systems. As a milestone in trust research, it brought together disparate disciplines and attempted to make sense of a vital phenomenon in human and artificial societies, and is still widely referenced today, being in the top tenth of one percent of Citeseerx's most cited articles in computer science. Steve's current work builds extensively on this model, applying it to information systems, network security, Critical Infrastructure Protection, and mobile device security.
His research interests include computational trust, trust management, regret and regret management, and socially adept technologies. He is the Canadian delegate to IFIP Technical Committee 11: Security and Privacy Protection in Information Processing Systems. He is an adjunct professor at University of Ontario Institute for Technology (Business and IT), UNB (Computer Science) and Carleton University (Systems and Computer Engineering and Cognitive Science), and has worked extensively in Canadian Federal Government labs examining trust, regret, forgiveness, and information agents.

Steve lives in rural Ontario, Canada with dogs, cats, horses and people, each of which exhibits trust in interesting ways.
