Security

Increasing adoption of knowledge management systems for storage and retrieval of sensitive enterprise intellectual properties creates the need to reassess security practices from both technology and process perspectives in a variety of domains including healthcare and homeland security efforts. Our research in this area has addressed the security issues from a variety of perspectives and in different domains. A sample of publications pertaining to this research area is listed below.
