NII Shonan Meeting Seminar 069

Meeting Date

Shonan Village Center, October 26-29, 2015

(Check-in: night before, Oct. 25, 2015)

Overview

Logic and verification methods are standard tools useful for reasoning in a formal way about programs. Tools and techniques based on logic have been used to prove software correct with respect to different requirements: functional correctness, resource consumption, integrity of data, etc. An area where the usefulness of these methods was observed early on is the one of security and privacy. Formal logic methods have been used for formally specifying security and privacy policies and models, and for verifying that programs respect them.

The overall goal of the meeting is to foster the discussion between researchers in academia and industry that are working in different areas of security and privacy, logic and verification. The common ground between the different participants will be the use of logic and verification methods for formally reasoning about the different aspects of security and privacy. On the application side, we aim at fostering the discussion around the different tools that are needed to reason about traditional and quantitative notion of security and privacy. On the theoretical side instead, we aim at fostering the discussion around common foundations for the different aspects of security and privacy. A further goal of the meeting is exploring the applicability of the most recent techniques developed in the setting of security and privacy to problem in different research areas.

There are several routes from Tokyo area or Narita airport. In general, first move by a train to? either Zushi (JR) or Shin-Zushi (Keikyu), and then take a bus or a taxi. For foreigners, we would recommend sharing a? taxi from Zushi or Shin-Zushi. The train route/schedule can be searched by using the train route finder below.

Train Schedule Search (not for reservation) :

For destination, enter “Zushi” or “Shin-Zushi”.? As Tokyo area is served by several companies, you will see several choices. Please pick one that seems most convenient. An optimal route depends on the departure time.

You can search a train schedule from/to Narita Airport.

Recommended routes from Tokyo/Airports to Zushi:

Note: The following may not be the best route, depending on the time of departure.

    • From Tokyo Narita Airport

Take JR Narita Express to go to “Ofuna” or “Yokohama”, and then take JR Yokosuka Line to Zushi.

    • From Tokyo Haneda Airport

Take Keikyu Haneda Airport Line. Change at Keikyu Kamata station to Keikyu Line, and then change at Kanazawa-Hakkei to Keikyu Zushi Line and get off at Shin-Zushi terminal.

From Zushi or Shin-Zushi to Shonan Village Center

At Zushi station, go out from “East Exit”.

Please take a bus (which leaves once in an hour or half an hour, and takes 30 min from Zushi to Shonan Village Center) or a taxi, which costs approximately 3,000 yen and takes about 20 min.

Bus Time Table

Please take bus number 16 that leaves from Bus Stop #1 of the east exit of JR Zushi station, and costs 350 yen.

There are buses that leave from #1 and? go to other destination. So, make sure that the final destination of the bus is “Shonan Kokusai-mura Center” (the destination sign is in Japanese? but it comes with number “16”; if you are not sure, please ask the driver or other passengers before boarding), and get off at the final stop. Shonan Village Center is on the righthand side of the bus stop.

As a bus driver is not likely to speak English, we recommend sharing a taxi (or finding a company who speaks Japanese, to take a bus).

Here?are some Japanese messages to show to a taxi driver.
