MRI: Acquisition of a Cloud Computing Infrastructure for Research and Education

提案号：13-38102PI(s): Yu, Shucheng Chiang, Chia-Chu；谢,Mengjun;Yoshigoe， kenji机构：阿肯色大学小石城分校职称：MRI/Acq。研究和教育的云计算基础设施项目建议：该项目收购私有云仪器，旨在开展六个研究项目，涵盖社交网络、安全云数据系统、密码学、生物医学计算和数据流分析等领域。该仪器将支持以下项目：-大规模社交网络中的Sybil攻击分析，-云存储系统的安全数据访问控制，-命名数据网络中的缓存污染攻击研究，-开发基于云的人脑连接体图理论分析框架，-完全同态加密的并行处理，以及-云上的性能实时流分析。该私有云服务于三所大学(U AR- little Rock (UALR), U AR- pine Bluff （UAPB）和U Central AR (UAC))，将成为该州第一个致力于研究和教学的私有云。更广泛的影响：仪器丰富了大学和整个国家的研究和教育活动。因此，可以开发和实施新的课程。此外，云基础设施为少数族裔学生提供了独特的机会，他们将能够访问尖端的高性能无处不在的计算资源。计算基础设施通过其安装、操作和维护过程为学生创造了许多教育和培训机会。夏季本科创业与研究项目（SUPER）和ACM俱乐部将在学校内外提供培训。此外，将建立一个关于云计算的本科生暑期研究项目，以扩大整个EPSCoR管辖范围内的机会。

Proposal #: 13-38102PI(s): Yu, Shucheng Chiang, Chia-Chu; Xie, Mengjun; Yoshigoe, KenjiInstitution: University of Arkansas-Little RockTitle: MRI/Acq.: Cloud Computing Infrastructure for Research and Education Project Proposed:This project, acquiring private cloud instrumentation, aims to conduct six research projects spanning areas of social networks, secure cloud data system, cryptography, biomedical computing, and data stream analysis. The instrumentation will enable the following projects:- Analysis of Sybil Attacks in Large-Scale Social Networks,- Secure Data Access Control for Cloud Storage Systems,- Study of Cache Pollution Attacks in Named-Data Networking,- Development of a Cloud-Based Graph Theoretical Analysis Framework for Human Brain Connectomes,- Parallel Processing of Fully Homomorphic Encryption, and- Performance Real-Time Stream Analysis on the Cloud.This private cloud, serving three universities (U AR-Little Rock (UALR), U AR-Pine Bluff (UAPB), and U Central AR (UAC)), will be the first in the state dedicated to research and teaching.Broader Impacts: The instrumentation enriches the research and educational activities within the universities and overall state. Hence, new courses can be developed and implemented. Moreover, the cloud infrastructure provides unique opportunities for minority students that will then have access to cutting-edge high-performance ubiquitous computing resources. The computing infrastructure creates many education and training opportunities for the students through the process of its installation, operation, and maintenance. A Summer Undergraduate Program of Entrepreneurship and Research (SUPER) program and the ACM club at the university will offer training within and beyond the institution. Also, an undergraduate summer research program on cloud computing will be established to expand the opportunities throughout this EPSCoR jurisdiction.
