Project Info

• IST-2001-39151
• FET Future and Emerging Technologies
• High risk research
• Assessment of a specific area, therefore no
  guarantee of success
• Industrial partners are not necessary
• 100K Euro funding (shared by 3 partners)

Aim of the Project

• to protect sensitive data that can be extracted
  by data mining methods.
• investigate various types of data and data
  mining methods
• Develop an evaluation framework
• Constructing the know-how for possible threats
• Development of a generic and portable data
  confidentiality and sanitization tool

Why FET Project?

• A research area in its infancy
• There are a lot of areas for investigation

7
Assessment Criteria

• Assessment Criteria are critical for FET projects
  to evaluate the success or failure.
• Some criteria for our project
• What is the significance of the threats that
  different data mining techniques are causing?
• Is it possible to develop irreversible methods
  for ensuring data confidentiality?
• Is data quality being preserved?

Some Remarks

• That was my first proposal and got accepted, so
  it can be done
• Existing connections are important
• New connections will follow
