Lilien Department of Computer Science Western Michigan University 1903 West Michigan Avenue Kalamazoo, MI

Ph.D. in Computer Science, University of Pittsburgh. Research at Western Michigan University (WMU), Purdue University, and University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC). Teaching at WMU and UIC. Tutorial instructor for IEEE Computer Society. Diversified R&D experience at AT&T/Lucent Bell Labs. Consultant for academic and business projects. Entrepreneurial experience in the United States and Poland.
Current research focused in two Areas: (1) opportunistic capability utilization networks or oppnets (a specialized kind of ad hoc networks); and (2) trust, privacy and security in open computing systems. In Area 1, focus on primitives for oppnets, privacy and security in oppnets, and interoperability of oppnet helper networks and devices. In Area 2, concentration on privacy-preserving data dissemination, authentication and privacy in health care, vulnerability analysis and threat assessment, the role of trust in open computing environments, analysis of computer security paradigms, modeling computer fraud, and security and privacy aspects in pervasive systems, including ad hoc sensor networks and embedded networks.
Former areas of investigation include: (a) distributed computing systems with concentration on decentralized control; (b) distributed database systems with focus on reliability, fault tolerance, recovery, concurrency control, query optimization, and database design; and (c) semantic database integrity.
Published over 55 peer-reviewed journal and conference papers, and six book chapters (at least four peer-reviewed). Editorial Board member for five journals. Organizer and Chair of the International Workshops on Specialized Ad Hoc Networks and Systems (SAHNS 2009 and SAHNS 2007) in conjunction with IEEE International Conference on Distributed Computing Systems (ICDCS 2009 and ICDCS 2007). Co-PI for a Navy grant on oppnets, and an NSF grant on vulnerability analysis and threat assessment/avoidance.
Senior Member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and IEEE Computer Society. Affiliated with the Center for Education and Research in Information Assurance and Security (CERIAS) at Purdue University.

Bharat Bhargava Professor of Computer Science Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering Purdue University

Bharat Bhargava is a professor of the Department of Computer Science with a courtesy appointment in the School of Electrical & Computer Engineering at Purdue University. Professor Bhargava is conducting research in security and privacy issues in distributed systems. This involves host authentication and key management, secure routing and dealing with malicious hosts, adaptability to attacks, and experimental studies. Related research is in formalizing evidence, trust, and fraud. Applications in e-commerce and transportation security are being tested in a prototype system. Based on his research in reliability, he is studying vulnerabilities in systems to assess threats to large organizations. He has developed techniques to avoid threats that can lead to operational failures. The research has direct impact on nuclear waste transport, bio-security, disaster management, and homeland security. These ideas and scientific principles are being applied to the building of peer-to- peer systems, cellular assisted mobile ad hoc networks, and to the monitoring of QoS-enabled network domains.

In the 1988 IEEE Data Engineering Conference, he and John Riedl received the best paper award for their work on "A Model for Adaptable Systems for Transaction Processing." Professor Bhargava is a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers and of the Institute of Electronics and Telecommunication Engineers. In 1999, he received the IEEE Technical Achievement Award for a major impact of his decade long contributions to foundations of adaptability in communication and distributed systems. He has been awarded the charter Gold Core Member distinction by the IEEE Computer Society for his distinguished service. He received Outstanding Instructor Awards from the Purdue chapter of the ACM in 1996 and 1998. He has graduated the largest number of Ph.D students in CS department and is active in supporting/mentoring minority students. In 2003, he was inducted in the Purdue's Book of Great Teachers.
