Abstract:

This report is based primarily on a workshop involving 42 people from academia and industry.
The goal of the workshop was to share systematic knowledge about the components, characteristics,
practices, and transformative impact of effective VOs; identify topics for future research that will
inform the ongoing design, development, and analysis of VOs for science and engineering research
and education; and create a new cross-disciplinary VO research community to conduct research across
a range of important topics. A subsequent workshop brought together more than 200 practitioners and
VO researchers to discuss how to build effective virtual organizations, and some of the material from
that workshop is represented here.

Abstract:

This report, published by the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers, details findings of the Logging and Monitoring Privacy Project (LAMP) funded by the National Science Foundation. The project examined the types and extent of computer logging on a sample of college and university campuses, including the purpose of such logging; how much and what kind of information was being collected; how the information was being used; and how many people had access to it. The project sought to determine whether the kinds of log data being collected constitute "education records" as defined by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and if various uses of the data violate privacy rights of students under the act.
