The goal of this project is to develop a plan to increase the number of under-represented students (Hispanics, African Americans, American Indians, and women) pursuing M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in computer engineering and computer science by enhancing research opportunities in the areas of computer networking and medical imaging. The project achieves its goal through three specific activities: (1) enhancement of research infrastructure in the computer networks and computerized tomography fields, (2) creation of collaborative research opportunities with the other research institutions in the region and development of joint mentorship program with local industry, and (3) improvement of minority students recruiting and retention efforts. The research in this project is in the areas of security of mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) and sensor networks and image reconstruction in Computerized Tomography. The project develops methods for authentication, and trust establishment and maintenance in MANETs. It also develops and implements effective new methods of image reconstruction from projections that are based on non-traditional tensor and paired representations of images in forms of totalities of "independent" splitting signals. Creation of collaborative research opportunities will enhance UT San Antonio research, and the joint mentorship program will provide industrial experience to students. The results of these planning efforts provide the basis for developing proposals to be submitted to NSF's Computing Research Infrastructure program and Advanced Research and Education program.

该项目的目标是制定一项计划，以增加代表性不足的学生（西班牙裔，非洲裔美国人，美洲印第安人和妇女）追求MS的数量。和博士通过增加计算机网络和医学成像领域的研究机会，在计算机工程和计算机科学学位。该项目通过三项具体活动实现其目标：（1）加强计算机网络和计算机断层扫描领域的研究基础设施，（2）创造与该地区其他研究机构合作研究的机会，并与当地产业开发联合导师计划，以及（3）改善少数民族学生的招聘和保留工作。本计画的研究领域为移动的自组网路与感测网路的安全性，以及电脑断层摄影的影像重建。 该项目开发的方法认证，信任的建立和维护在移动局域网。 它还开发和实施了有效的新方法，从投影图像重建，是基于非传统的张量和成对的图像表示形式的“独立”分裂信号的整体。合作研究机会的创造将加强UT圣安东尼奥的研究，联合导师计划将为学生提供工业经验。这些规划工作的结果为提交给NSF计算研究基础设施计划和高级研究与教育计划的建议提供了基础。
