Invited Speaker 1: Gábor Tardos
Title: Capacity of collusion secure fingerprinting - a tradeoff between rate and efficiency
Abstract: TBA
Short-Bio: Gábor Tardos is a professor at Simon Fraser University; he received the European Mathematical Society prize for young researchers at the European Congress of Mathematics in 1992 and the Erdös Prize from the Hungarian Academy of Sciences in 2000. He received a Lendület Grant from the Hungarian Academy of Sciences in 2009. He works mainly in combinatorics and computer science.
Dr. Tardos started with a result in universal algebra, he exhibited a maximal clone of monotone operations which is not finitely generated. He obtained partial results concerning the Hanna Neumann conjecture.
