We are thrilled to announce that Dr Manolis Terrovitis, Principal Researcher at the Information Management Systems Institute  of "Athena" Research Center was honoured with the IEEE MDM 2022 Test-of-Time Award for his work “Privacy Preservation in the Publication of Trajectories” published in the Ninth International Conference on Mobile Data Management, MDM 2008, co-authored by Nikos Mamoulis, Professor at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, University of Ioannina. The paper was selected as the most influential from all papers published in MDM in the period from 2003 to 2012. The paper proposed in 2008 a novel way to protect privacy in the publication of personal moving patterns!

The distinction was announced during the 23^rd IEEE International Conference on Mobile Data Management that took place online, in June 6 – 9, 2022.

 

The Test-of-Time committee (Karl Aberer, EPFL, Switzerland, Christian S. Jensen (Chair), Aalborg University, Denmark, Kian-Lee Tan, National University of Singapore, Singapore) congratulated the award recipients as well as the MDM conference series for attracting and publishing such an influential paper.

 

The IEEE International Conference on Mobile Data Management (MDM) series took its start in 1999 and has recently instituted a Test-of-Time Award. For the IEEE MDM 2022 instance of the award, the eligible papers include all full research papers published in the IEEE MDM 2003 to 2012 conference proceedings. The motivation for selecting this paper includes:

• The paper is a forward-looking and influential paper on a new problem that since gained in prominence.

• The paper is a very well cited paper that continues to attract citations and is cited by very well cited (and thus influential) papers.
