Subject: 2007 Collegiate Voting Systems Competition
UMBC is organizing a Collegiate Voting Systems Competition [1]
to engage students in nationally important, state-of-the-art
security and privacy research projects and course work.
Professor Alan Sherman [2] has received an award from NSF's
CyberTrust program to organize and run the first of what is
hoped to be an annual conference and competition. Student
teams will design and implement a complete voting system that
must have been used in some election, such as one for a
student government or organization, by May 2007. Papers
describing and analyzing the system are then submitted for the
conference and used to select candidates for the final
competition. The conference, to be held in Portland in July
2007, will include demonstrations, mock elections, submitted
presentations and invited talks. A panel of judges will make
awards for the best overall system, best presentation, best
attack, and best paper on voting system metrics. More
information on the competition, its rules, and an example
system is available at [2].
