Below, please find the agenda for MSW 7, Spring 2019. All events will be held at the John Crerar Library (JCL) on the University of Chicago campus. John Crerar Library is the home of UChicago's Computer Science Department and is located at 5730 S. Ellis Ave., Chicago, IL 60637. As the midwest spans two different time zones, please note that Chicago is on Central Time.
All of our full-group plenary events will be held in JCL 390. To be as inclusive as possible, we have left the event registration open even though we now have more registrants than seats in JCL 390. As a result, we will be telecasting (audio and video) the event into the 3rd floor research commons directly outside JCL 390, as well as in JCL 298.
We have a map available for our break-out sessions and restrooms in JCL.

| 2:30p - 3:15p | Keynote For the People: (Human) Factors to Consider in Security and Privacy Research  Apu Kapadia, Indiana University In this talk, I will make a case for considering human factors in your research. Although not all of us may 'need' to run user studies, your research could benefit from a deeper understanding of what to build, what not to build, why to build it, and how people might benefit from your inventions. Many of you may be reticent to enter this space of 'usable security' - I hope to demystify some of the methods by weaving in a narrative of my explorations on privacy in the context of wearable cameras. It is my hope this talk will inspire some of you to factor in the human because, in the end, we are securing systems for the people, attacked by the people. | JCL 390 (overflow telecast in JCL 298) |
