Dirk Neumann is Full Professor with the Chair of Information Systems of the Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg, Germany. He studied information systems in Giessen (Diploma), Economics in Milwaukee, WI, USA (Master) and received a PhD from Karlsruhe in 2004. Since 2006, he has been coordinating the EU funded project SORMA (Self-Organizing ICT resource management), which deals with the design and implementation of Markets for Clouds and Grids. His research topics include Cloud Computing and economically-inspired self-management, Green Computing, Green Logistics and Emergency response systems. He has published more than 100 articles and 3 books in the area of IS and E-Commerce.

Security has advanced to one of the hottest topics in modern societies. Innovative technologies while beneficial on the one hand, caused increasing concerns of privacy violations. Additionally, economic, social and political transformation processes bringing about societal change increases concern. The FRIAS project Security and Society, part of the competence center “Sicherheit und Gesellschaft” (Security and Society), explores an interdisciplinary approach designing new security architectures, accommodating the security requirements facing the future Internet. The project aims investigates how technology can help to establish a secure environment for society and how society and its respective set of norms affect current technologies in turn.
The project will address the first question area by designing smart information systems, so-called, emergency response systems, which improve on the ad-hoc coordination of rescue forces in case of emergencies (such as forest fires, natural disasters, terrorist acts etc.). The second, the effect of norms on technologic advances, will be served by exploring self-enforcing regulation mechanisms for the future Internet.
