[EL] EVT/WOTE'12 in Bellevue, WA (6-7 August)

[Joseph Lorenzo Hall]

Many of you know that EVT/WOTE is an important venue for academic
voting technology scholarship.  It is held in conjunction with the
USENIX Security conference and this year is 6-7 August in Bellevue,
WA. The program for this year, though not complete, is up:

Dana Chisnell (UsabilityWorks) is one of our invited speakers and I
suspect she'll school us on election usability and talk a bit about
her dynamite field guides project.  We'll also have Diego Aranha
(University of Brasilia) speak about vulnerabilities in the Brazilian
voting system. In a late-breaking addition to the program, we're
honored to have LA County head honcho Dean Logan keynote the event.

Of course, as always, there will be a ton of new research results,
stimulating conversation and the not-to-be-missed rump session (a
session of short presentations that start off serious and about new
results and ends with hilarity and crazy ideas...).

Anyway, it's going to be fun and I hope to see you there...

best, Joe
