REU Site: Computer Science in the Interest of Society (CSIS)

摘要：伯克利CS REU网站的重点将是计算机科学项目，清楚地表明研究如何解决我们社会的重要问题。信息技术是我们时代最重要的技术发展之一。在这方面，CSIS REU网站将把学生聚集在一起，学习计算和系统生物学、图形和多媒体、网络安全、可靠、自适应和分布式系统以及发展中国家的信息技术，REU学生将被要求了解和报告他们的研究在改善人类方面的具体应用。例如，在网络安全领域工作的REU学生将处理保护隐私和保护关键基础设施的社会，技术，商业和政策方面，这是实现IT充分效益的关键因素。第二个例子是重症监护项目，开发基础设施和方法来管理危及生命的疾病或伤害患者的大量临床数据。 学生研究人员将加入建立一个可扩展的重症监护数据仓库的努力，以促进多机构的合作，以利于愈合。另一个项目机会涉及以人为本的设计实践：对客户需求的背景调查，以了解用户社区的需求，特别是对残疾人辅助技术的兴趣。 该网站由国防部与NSF REU计划共同资助。

Abstract: The focus of the Berkeley CS REU site will be computer science projects that show clearly how the research solves important problems for our society. Information technology represents one of the most critical technological developments of our era. In this context, the CSIS REU site will bring students together in computational and systems biology, graphics and multimedia, cyber-security, reliable, adaptive and distributed systems, and information technology for developing nations.REU students will be required to understand and report on specific applications of their research for the betterment of humankind. For example, REU students working in the area of cyber- security will deal with the social, technical, commercial, and policy aspects of preserving privacy and defending critical infrastructure, which are key factors in realizing the full benefits of IT. A second example is the project in Intensive Care, developing an infrastructure and methodology to manage large amounts of clinical data for patients with life-threatening illness or injury. Student researchers will join the effort to establish a scalable warehouse for critical care data to facilitate multi-institution collaboration in the interest of healing. Another project opportunity involves human-centered designpractices:contextual inquiry into the needs of clients to understand the needs of a user community, with particular interest in assistive technology for the disabled. This site is co-funded by the Department of Defense in partnership with the NSF REU program.
