This award establishes a new CISE REU site focused on mobile computing security at Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis. A team of faculty will lead undergraduate students in hands-on projects based on the latest research on mobile device security, mobile cloud security, and mobile social network security. Working together in small groups, the students will learn how to plan, implement, and evaluate research projects. Participating students will have access to an internal cloud computing platform as well as smartphones and tablet computers. Through this program, participants will gain first-hand experience in research and graduate student life, which will help them make informed decisions in pursuing postgraduate studies as well as in choosing professional careers. This project is co-funded by the CISE Secure and Trustworthy Cyberspace (SaTC) Cluster.Intellectual Merit. The intellectual merit of this proposal includes a faculty with expertise in mobile and cloud computing security, an important and timely area of computing that is of national interest. Students will acquire first-hand experiences with state-of-the-art technologies, which are often inaccessible to them due to high acquisition and maintenance costs. Through this REU grant, students will work with faculty mentors in completing cutting-edge research projects that have the potential to change our everyday computing experiences. By the end of program, students will acquire valuable skills, gain a broader and deeper understanding of research, and develop greater confidence in their abilities.Broader Impact. The broader impact of this proposal is to help students tap into cutting-edge research, to boost their interests in science and engineering, and to inspire them to pursue postgraduate education in these fields. The team is committed to recruiting underrepresented minority and female students, as well as students from institutes with inadequate resources to conduct research in mobile computing security. Thus the project has the potential to produce new computer science graduate students and faculty members and to advance discovery and understanding while promoting learning.

这一奖项在印第安纳大学、普渡大学、印第安纳波利斯建立了一个新的CISE REU网站，专注于移动计算安全。一个教师团队将带领本科生开展基于移动设备安全、移动云安全和移动社交网络安全的最新研究的动手项目。通过小组合作，学生们将学习如何计划、实施和评估研究项目。参与的学生将有机会使用内部云计算平台以及智能手机和平板电脑。通过这个项目，参与者将获得研究和研究生生活的第一手经验，这将帮助他们在攻读研究生课程和选择职业生涯时做出明智的决定。这个项目是由CEISE安全和可信网络空间(SATC)集群共同资助的。这项提议的学术价值包括一支在移动和云计算安全方面拥有专业知识的教师，这是一个关系到国家利益的重要且及时的计算领域。学生将获得与最先进的技术的第一手经验，这些技术往往是他们无法获得的，因为高昂的采购和维护成本。通过这笔REU助学金，学生们将与教师导师合作，完成有可能改变我们日常计算体验的尖端研究项目。到课程结束时，学生将获得宝贵的技能，对研究有更广泛和更深入的理解，并对自己的能力培养更大的信心。这项建议的更广泛影响是帮助学生利用尖端研究，提高他们对科学和工程的兴趣，并激励他们在这些领域继续研究生教育。该团队致力于招募代表性不足的少数族裔和女性学生，以及来自资源不足的机构的学生，以开展移动计算安全方面的研究。因此，该项目有可能产生新的计算机科学研究生和教职员工，并在促进学习的同时促进发现和理解。
