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

This ICPAM School will introduce participants to selected topics of
Mathematics with direct applications in privacy and security issues. For
more detailed descriptions of the particular topics covered in the school,
see course outlines. The presentations will include the necessary
background in order to understand the main concepts, as well as many
motivating examples of the application of these topics to particular
security and privacy issues, together with open problems in the
corresponding areas. The aim is to motivate a group of bright students to
continue working in those areas at the doctoral or postdoctoral level. The
school will conclude with presentations by researchers and students.

The school is dedicated to the memory of Professor Mirka Miller who
suggested that it was held in Havana and who made important contributions
in many of the topics to be discussed.
