                in the World Trade Center Investigations"
   				     by

         Richard M. Smith,                       David Martin
       CTO, Privacy Foundation,      and  Research Assistant Professor
       rms@privacyfoundation.org and           Boston University
     				  	         dm@cs.bu.edu



The speakers joined the Boston University Computer Science Department in
Fall 2001 as visiting researchers.  During the past year, the Privacy
Foundation sponsored their research in the area of commercial surveillance.
In this talk the speakers will discuss how commercial surveillance can be
used in the effort to identify the terrorist attackers.  They will also
describe their organization and some of their recent computer privacy
research in order to stimulate discussions about possible projects and
collaboration with students and faculty.



Host: George Kollios
