- I think this is a good topic for this group. I think that more money is spent
- on research which may violate privacy than on reasearch for appropriate limits
- to privacy.
-
- I'd like to see researchers in the area of databases take the initiative in
- this area. I think the problem can be divided into two questions:
- 1. What are the limits of privacy?
- 2. How do we make database applications that respect these limits?
-
- I think there's plenty of hard work to be done on #2. Perhaps the results
- of other work on question #1 can be applied.
