James B.D. Joshi
Joshi is an assistant professor of information science and telecommunications as well as cofounder and coordinator of the Laboratory of Education and Research on Security Assured Information Systems in Pitt's School of Information Sciences.
Joshi's project, titled "A Trust-Based Access Control Management Framework for Secure Information Sharing and Multimedia Workflows in Heterogeneous Environments," will address the security, privacy, and digital rights issues related to emerging multidomain application environments. Such environments have the potential to efficiently automate workflow processes and to facilitate unprecedented levels of information sharing and resource utilization. Joshi will develop a framework to allow dynamic systems to interact with each other securely and to ensure the privacy of data. The results of this research will help make sure that information on complex systems, such as the Department of Defense's global information grid, is well protected. The results also will be incorporated into Pitt's security curriculum. Pitt has been designated a National Center of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance Education by the National Security Agency and the Department of Homeland Security.
Joshi earned the Ph.D. degree in computer engineering and the M.S. degree in computer science at Purdue University in 2003 and 1998, respectively, and the Bachelor of Engineering degree in computer science and engineering at Motilal Nehru Regional Engineering College in India in1993. A mem
