RE: [election-services] Fwd: EVT/WOTE '09: Call for Voting SystemDemonstration Proposals
John,

I hate to dampen the enthusiasm here - but this is WOTE we're discussing - academia.

I believe what they are envisioning to look at is the type of systems that the PhD students entered in to the 2008 Portland, OR college competition for voting solutions.... that the folks from Maryland won.

In discussions with these folks they have no idea why you need EML XML - they just look at that as an annoyance that detracts from their wonderful research, mathematics and clever encryption systems.  While I view all that as terrible design flaws that impede transparency and open elections.   How we cross that bridge is a whole another challenge?

The good news is that Montreal is a really nice place to visit then - no surprise that its a summer destination for academia - OK - maybe I should not be so cynical - hopefully someone else has a more positive spin here!?

 

Thanks, DW

System Demonstration Proposals

This would be a good opportunity to demo EML in action.  Is anyone prepared to bear the time and cost involved?

Regards

John

Please forward to anyone that you think might be interested in demoing

a voting system at EVT/WOTE this summer (Aug. 10-11, 2009 in Montreal,

Canada). best, Joe

Call for Voting System Demonstration Proposals

--------------------------------------------------------

As part of the 2009 Electronic Voting Tech Workshop/Workshop on

Trustworthy Elections (EVT/WOTE 2009), we would like to hold a system

demonstration session. We envisage this session as an opportunity for

workshop participants to examine and "play with" voting system

implementations (or functioning prototypes).  The format will be

similar to a poster session, with space allocated for each system and

participants walking between the different demonstrations. The demo

session is mainly aimed at new or non-traditional voting systems (such

as implementations of end-to-end verifiable systems), but if space

allows we may also include demonstrations of existing systems.

If you would like to demonstrate a system, please email the following

details to the EVT/WOTE chairs ():

1. Name of the system

2. Short abstract

3. Demo requirements (e.g., space, power, network, etc.)

There is no hard deadline for proposals, however we would appreciate

hearing from you as soon as possible so that we know how much space

we'll need (if we cannot accommodate all the demos, earlier proposals

will receive preference).

Best wishes, the EVT/WOTE Chairs:

David Jefferson

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory
