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

提案#：13-38102 PI(S)：俞淑成，蒋家楚；谢梦君；吉冈健二研究所：阿肯色大学小石城分校：MRI/Acq：云计算研究和教育基础设施项目建议：该项目，收购私有云仪器，旨在进行六个研究项目，横跨社交网络，安全云数据系统，密码学，生物医学计算，和数据流分析。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，-命名数据网络中缓存污染攻击的研究，-人脑连接的基于云图的理论分析框架的开发，-完全同态加密的并行处理，以及-云上的性能实时流分析。这个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))，将是该州第一个致力于研究和教学的仪器。广泛的影响：该仪器丰富了大学和整个州内的研究和教育活动。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，他们将获得尖端的高性能泛在计算资源。计算基础设施通过其安装、运行和维护过程为学生创造了许多教育和培训机会。暑期本科生创业与研究计划(SUPER)计划和大学的ACM俱乐部将提供机构内外的培训。此外，还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辖区的机会。

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.
