Together with Professor Pamela Samuelson from Berkeley and some colleagues from Germany and the U.K., I am currently co-organizing a large conference on digital rights management, alternative compensation systems, and trusted computing. The bi-lingual conference will be held in Berlin, Germany, on January 13 & 14, 2005. For the trusted computing panel, we have speakers such as Graeme Proudler (Chair, Technical Committee, TCG), Thomas Rosteck (Infineon), Ahmad-Rez-Sadeghi (University of Bochum) and Seth Schoen (EFF). More information (including registration information) may be found over here.
