**DIMACS Workshop on Barriers to Data Sharing**  
October 23 - 24, 2017  
CoRE Building, Rutgers University  
<http://dimacs.rutgers.edu/Workshops/Barriers/>  
  
This workshop will bring together computer scientists, legal scholars,  
and consumers of data to understand the extent to which privacy  
currently limits the sharing of data. Discussions will include but not  
be limited to research data and will seek to develop standards and  
best practices that enable new information flows in domains ranging  
from healthcare to energy.  
  
A major focus of the workshop will be understanding the obstacles that  
exist for moving ideas from the research literature into practical  
application. Two technologies--multiparty computation and  
differentially private systems--will play an important role at the  
workshop, though a range of related tools from cryptography and  
security research will be discussed.  
  
The workshop will include a mix of longer, tutorial-style talks and  
shorter technical presentations.
