Multidisciplinary Systems Assurance Education

锡拉丘兹大学的教职员工将为研究生提供30个多学科系统保证教育奖学金。系统保障包括信息保障、计算机安全和基础设施保护等相关领域。随着计算和通信技术的不断发展，以及它越来越多地融入我们社会的几乎所有方面，系统保障将在我们国家的未来发挥至关重要的作用。随着这种整合的发生，许多与核心技术无关的问题出现了，包括管理、公共政策、法律、教育和道德问题。出于这个原因，系统保证确实是一个多学科的智力研究领域，因此我们正在提供一个多学科的、泛大学的系统保证教育计划。锡拉丘兹的系统保障中心(CSA)是美国国家安全局指定的信息保障教育卓越中心。我们正在将CSA扩展到L.C.史密斯工程与计算机科学学院(ECS)之外，将信息研究(IST)和麦克斯韦尔公民与公共事务学院(Maxwell)的教职员工包括在内。在这一扩展之后，将在以后几年纳入更多与信息自由法相关的领域，包括法律、哲学和教育。电子工程和计算机科学(EECS)系隶属于ECS，目前提供计算机科学或计算机工程硕士学位，重点是系统保证。这些课程的学生选择他们的专业核心课程(三到四门课程)，五门课程集中在系统保证技术核心，以及至少一门来自相关领域的选修课。我们建议在IST和Maxwell中实施类似的跟踪。我们将在助学金的第一年支持ECS的学生，然后在这三所学校的学生的课程上线时支持他们。

Faculty members at Syracuse University will offer 30 scholarships in Multidisciplinary Systems Assurance Education for graduate students. Systems assurance comprises the related areas of information assurance, computer security, and infrastructure protection. With the continuing growth of computing and communication technology, and its increasing integration into almost all aspects of our society, systems assurance will play a vital role in the future of our nation. As this integration takes place, many issues not related to the core technology arise, issues of management, public policy, law, education, and ethics. For this reason, systems assurance is truly a multidisciplinary area of intellectual inquiry, and we are therefore providing a multidisciplinary, pan-University education program in systems assurance. The Center for Systems Assurance (CSA) at Syracuse is an NSA designated Center of Excellence in Information Assurance Education. We are expanding the CSA beyond the L. C. Smith College of Engineering and Computer Science (ECS) to include faculty from Information Studies (IST) and the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs (Maxwell). This expansion will be followed in later years by inclusion of additional IA-related areas, including law, philosophy, and education. The Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) department, within ECS, currently offers Masters degrees in Computer Science or Computer Engineering with a concentration in Systems Assurance. Students in these courses take the core courses their major (three or four courses), a five-course concentration in a Systems Assurance technology core, and at least one elective from an allied area. We propose to implement similar tracks in IST and Maxwell. We will support students in ECS for the first year of the grant, and then support students from all three schools when their programs are on-line.
