Dr. Dawn Jutla is an award-winning, multi-disciplinary researcher and full professor in Information Systems at the Sobey School of Business, Saint Mary's University. She received her undergraduate degree from the University of the West Indies, and both her Masters and PhD degrees in Computer Science from the Technical University of Nova Scotia. Her 1996 PhD work on multi-view access control has been cited in Xerox, IBM, and Koninklijke Philips Electronics' US patents.
Her subsequent research work, funded by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada, has received over 600 citations and is internationally recognized in the area of information system design and models for electronic business, electronic government, and online privacy. Her journal articles have appeared in prestigious and high-impact venues including the Communications of the ACM, Information Systems, IEEE Security and Privacy, IEEE Computer, International Journal of Electronic Business, the Internet Research Journal: Electronic Networking Applications and Policy, Journal of Information Assurance and Security, International Journal of Information Security, and Identity in the Information Society.
A selection of her 90 research publications include “Layering Privacy on Operating Systems, Social Networks, and Other Platforms by Design,” and a Socio-Technical Architecture for Online Privacy”. Dawn is the 2009 winner of the World Technology Award for IT Software in the Individual Category.
Dawn joined the Sobey School of Business as a part-time instructor in 1992, and took a full-time appointment in September 1997. She has great breadth in the instruction of information technology having taught 24 different information technology courses at every program level in the Sobey School of Business, and at the graduate level in Computer Science, Electronic Commerce, and ICT degree programs at several other universities. Throughout her 20-year career as a university professor, she has taught content that ranged from the technology-centric to business-centric. The CEO of SimplyCast, a former Saint Mary’s student, sponsors an annual Simplycast Jutla Scholarship.
Dawn is active in business-technology consulting, particularly in the development of business, e-commerce platform, and information technology strategies for organizations. She provides professional services on projects for local, national, and international software organizations, standards organizations, and privacy organizations. Dawn regularly presents to expert audiences in e-business, privacy, and computer science. She is currently an active member of the international OASIS Privacy Management Reference Model’s Technical Committee.
In an administrative capacity, she has served as Acting Chair in the Department of Finance, Information Systems, and Management Science for a year in 2005-2006, and as Chair during 2008-2009. She provides service to the international information technology community through conducting reviews for a number of top-tier journal publications including IEEE Transactions on Computers, IEEE Transaction on Knowledge and Data Engineering, IEEE Computer, ACM Computing Surveys, Information Systems, Information Sciences, Intelligent Systems, and Computational Intelligence. She also reviews for a number of international conferences related to her expertise each year, such as the IEEE International Conference on Cloud Computing. Dawn has organized several academic meetings including the Web Privacy Intelligence workshop of the IEEE/WIC/ACM International Conference on Web Intelligence and Intelligent Agent Technology in 2006 in Hong Kong, and co-chaired the World Congress on e-Business in Halifax that same year. She is co- Chair of the Industry Track of the 2012 IEEE International Conference on Services Economics.
Dawn demonstrates a superior track record in the training of highly qualified personnel and is in high demand as a research supervisor. She fully supervises students and actively contributes to the Masters of Business Administration, Executive MBA, Master of Applied Science, International Development Studies, and PhD (Management) programs at Saint Mary's University and to the Master of Computer Science and Master of Electronic Commerce programs at Dalhousie University. Dawn and a former student are co-authors of a book entitled: e-Business Readiness: A Customer-Focused Framework which forms part of the Addison Wesley Information Technology Series. Several of her former students are company founders, hold C-level positions in small entrepreneurial companies, or are in technical positions at large organizations. Many students have published technical work under her direction. Dawn enjoys collaborating with other international researchers and students who are also enthusiastic about IT. Many of her collaborators are in the fields of Mathematics, Computer Science, and/or Business. She thinks that it is important to expose her students to global and timely research problems.
