General Information
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Security in computer systems and networks is emerging as one of the most
challenging research areas for the future. The main aim of the school is
to offer a good spectrum of current research in foundations of security,
ranging from programming languages to analysis of protocols, that can
be of help for graduate students or young researchers that intend to
approach the field.
The school covers two weeks (from monday 18 to saturday 30, september 2000)
and alternates four lecturers per week on monographic courses of about
6/8 hours each. Saturdays are reserved for presentations given by those
participants that intend to take advantage of the audience for discussing
their current research in the area.
The school is organised at the Centro Residenziale Universitario of the
University of Bologna, situated in Bertinoro, a small village on a scenic
hill with a wonderful panorama, in between Forli' and Cesena (about 50
miles south-east of Bologna, 15 miles from the Adriatic sea).
