The workshop brought together 20 leading computer scientists (e.g., data management, data mining, security/privacy, social networks) and social/organizational scientists (e.g., economists, sociologists, psychologists, anthropologists) to 1) identify emerging major challenges in the collection and use of confidential data collection for the study of innovation in organizations, and 2) and make relevant recommendations in the form of a report to NSF, other funding agencies, and the scientific community.
