You are invited to the 6th London Hopper Colloquium on Tuesday, 4 May
2010 at the BCS headquarters in London. This 1-day event will feature
a diverse group of women speakers talking about their research, and
will enable new researchers to meet with each other and exchange
ideas, form collaborations and become aware of the network of women
conducting research in computing. Talks are aimed at Masters level up

stages of their career, and from diverse backgrounds.

The keynote speakers are:

Sadie Creese, University of Warwick - Security in the Clouds
