An Electronic Patient Record ``on Steroids'': Distributed, Peer-to-Peer, Secure and Privacy-conscious Serge Abiteboul, Bogdan Alexe, Omar Benjelloun, Bogdan Cautis, Irini Fundulaki, Tova Milo, and Arnaud Sahuguet   View Paper (PDF)   Return to DEMO GROUP 2: DISTRIBUTED DATABASES Abstract We demonstrate a novel solution for the privacy-conscious integration of distributed data, that relies on the combination of two key technologies: Active XML, that provides a highly flexible peer-to-peer paradigm for data integration, and GUPster, that unifies the enforcement of access control and source descriptions. While each of these two technologies has been demonstrated separately before, we show here that their synergy yields a powerful generic platform that seamlessly handles data integration and privacy enforcement tasks in a highly distributed setting. ©2005 Association for Computing Machinery
