Workshop Summary:

Privacy concerns have been a major hurdle for the publication of sensitive data, e.g., biomedical
records and web logs, as well as the analytical results derived from such data. This motivates
techniques for privacy-preserving data publication and analysis, as they can be key enablers and
accelerators of the research that relies on sensitive data. In the last decade, a variety of privacy
protection schemes have been studied in the data management community, ranging from early proposals
such as k-anonymity and its variants, to the recently proposed, much stronger differential privacy
model. Preserving information utility while also guaranteeing privacy is especially challenging in
new schemes such as differential privacy. The PrivDB workshop will provide a forum for data privacy
researchers to exchange new results on privacy-preservation problems. PrivDB¡¯13 solicits research
papers, work-in-progress reports, system demonstrations, and experimental studies from academia and
industry.
