Mark your calendars! HDF5 SHINES and The HDF Group’s Safety, Security, and Privacy (SSP) initiative is heading to SSDBM ’26 (the 38th International Conference on Scientific and Statistical Database Management). We are thrilled to announce that we are co-locating a dedicated afternoon of specialized programming at the conference on Wednesday, August 12, 2026 at the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC).
This co-located session will bring together researchers, developers, and practitioners to discuss the unique security and privacy challenges native to high-performance scientific data management, alongside the technical milestones achieved through the HDF5 SHINES project. We will dive deep into vulnerability lifecycle advancements, dependency mapping, and modern supply-chain standards for scientific infrastructure. Full program schedule, speaker line-ups, and registration links will be released in the coming weeks.
