Massively Open Online Courses, Current State and Perspectives (Dagstuhl Perspectives Workshop 14112)

Authors: Pierre Dillenbourg, Claude Kirchner, John C. Mitchell, and Martin Wirsing

Published in: Dagstuhl Reports, Volume 4, Issue 3 (2014)

Abstract
The Perspectives Workshop on "Massively Open Online Courses, Current State and Perspectives" took place at Schloss Dagstuhl on March 10--13, 2014. Twenty-three leading researchers and practitioners from informatics and pedagogical sciences presented and discussed current experiences and future directions, challenges, and visions for the influence of MOOCs on university teaching and learning. The first day of the workshop consisted of a series of presentations in which each participant presented those topics and developments he or she considered most relevant for the future development of MOOCs. The abstracts of these talks are given in the first part of this report. On the second and third day the participants divided into several working groups according to the main thematic areas that had been identified on the first day. This gives rise to a Manifesto to be published in the Dagstuhl Manifesto series and to identifying main research questions rised by the emergence of MOOCs: they are summarized in the second part of this report.

Data-Oblivious Data Structures

Authors: John C. Mitchell and Joe Zimmerman

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 25, 31st International Symposium on Theoretical Aspects of Computer Science (STACS 2014)

Abstract
An algorithm is called data-oblivious if its control flow and memory access pattern do not depend on its input data. Data-oblivious algorithms play a significant role in secure cloud computing, since programs that are run on secret data—as in fully homomorphic encryption or secure multi-party computation—must be data-oblivious. In this paper, we formalize three definitions of data-obliviousness that have appeared implicitly in the literature, explore their implications, and show separations. We observe that data-oblivious algorithms often compose well when viewed as data structures. Using this approach, we construct data-oblivious stacks, queues, and priority queues that are considerably simpler than existing constructions, as well as improving constan factors. We also establish a new upper bound for oblivious data compaction, and use this result to show that an "offline" variant of the Oblivious RAM problem can be solved with O(log(n).log(log(n))) expected amortized time per operation - as compared with O(log^2(n)/log(log(n))), the best known upper bound for the standard online formulation.

09073 Abstracts Collection – Model-Based Design of Trustworthy Health Information Systems

Authors: Ruth Breu, John C. Mitchell, Janos Sztipanovits, and Alfred Winter

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 9073, Model-Based Design of Trustworthy Health Information Systems (2009)

Abstract
The Dagstuhl Seminar ``Model-Based Design of Trustworthy Information Systems'' took place from February 11th to February 14th, 2009, at the International Conference and Research Center Schloss Dagstuhl. The goal of the seminar was to bring together experts from the domains of health care, software engineering and security in order to discuss the challenges of emerging health care scenarios. The seminar combined presentations with discussions in groups.

Massive Open Online Courses: Current State and Perspectives (Dagstuhl Perspectives Workshop 14112)

Authors: Pierre Dillenbourg, Armando Fox, Claude Kirchner, John Mitchell, and Martin Wirsing

Published in: Dagstuhl Manifestos, Volume 4, Issue 1 (2014)

Abstract
The rapid emergence and adoption of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) has raised new questions and rekindled old debates in higher education. Academic leaders are concerned about educational quality, access to content, privacy protection for learner data, production costs and the proper relationship between MOOCs and residential instruction, among other matters. At the same time, these same leaders see opportunities for the scale of MOOCs to support learning: faculty interest in teaching innovation, better learner engagement through personalization, increased understanding of learner behavior through large-scale data analytics, wider access for continuing education learners and other nonresidential learners, and the possibility to enhance revenue or lower educational costs. Two years after "the year of the MOOC", this report summarizes the state of the art and the future directions of greatest interest as seen by an international group of academic leaders. Eight provocative positions are put forward, in hopes of aiding policy-makers, academics, administrators, and learners regarding the potential future of MOOCs in higher education. The recommendations span a variety of topics including financial considerations, pedagogical quality, and the social fabric.

A Domain-Specific Language for Computing on Encrypted Data (Invited Talk)

Authors: Alex Bain, John Mitchell, Rahul Sharma, Deian Stefan, and Joe Zimmerman

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 13, IARCS Annual Conference on Foundations of Software Technology and Theoretical Computer Science (FSTTCS 2011)

Abstract
In cloud computing, a client may request computation on confidential data that is sent to untrusted servers. While homomorphic encryption and secure multiparty computation provide building blocks for secure computation, software must be properly structured to preserve confidentiality. Using a general definition of secure execution platform, we propose a single Haskell-based domain-specific language for cryptographic cloud computing and prove correctness and confidentiality for two representative and distinctly different implementations of the same programming language. The secret sharing execution platform provides information-theoretic security against colluding servers. The homomorphic encryption execution platform requires only one server, but has limited efficiency, and provides secrecy against a computationally-bounded adversary. Experiments with our implementation suggest promising computational feasibility, as cryptography improves, and show how code can be developed uniformly for a variety of secure cloud platforms, without explicitly programming separate clients and servers.
