This site is co-funded by the CISE Secure and Trustworthy Cyberspace (SaTC) Program. This funding establishes a new Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site at the University of Arkansas Little Rock. Undergraduate students will participate in summer research focused on the integration of fundamental security and forensics research with the latest technical advances in mobile computing, cloud computing, and social networks. The research is led by an experienced faculty team that plans to offer a balance of theory, applications, and practical skills as well as mentoring and professional development opportunities for the students. The site will focus on recruiting students from the South Central region of the United States using established regional connections.The intellectual merit of this project lies in strong research basis and the expertise of the faculty. The projects are in research areas that are current and address national priorities. The site will leverage its National Security Agency designated Center of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance Education and NSF funded Cloud Computing Research Instrument and Computational Research Center to enhance and enrich participants' competitive research experiences. The undergraduate student participants will be able to gain a broad and unified picture of the significance of security and forensics through interactions with university professors, professionals and researchers in forensics labs, practitioners in IT industry, and security officers in military service. The research has the potential to contribute to the research core of the emerging field of cyber security.The broader impacts are centered on the opportunities for a diverse pool of students to gain research experiences in cyber security and forensics. The site will capitalize on the established collaborations and communication channels with regional institutions for student recruitment. Through extensive research training and careful mentoring, this program has a great potential to attract fresh young minds into graduate schools and advance the state of the art of research and education in cyber security and forensics at undergraduate level in the South Central part of the United States.

该网站由CISE安全和值得信赖的网络空间（SaTC）计划共同资助。这笔资金在阿肯色州小石城大学建立了一个新的本科生研究经验（REU）网站。本科生将参加暑期研究，重点是将基础安全和取证研究与移动的计算，云计算和社交网络的最新技术进步相结合。 该研究由经验丰富的教师团队领导，计划为学生提供理论，应用和实践技能的平衡以及指导和专业发展机会。 该网站将侧重于利用已建立的区域联系从美国中南部地区招收学生。该项目的智力价值在于强大的研究基础和教师的专业知识。这些项目属于当前的研究领域并解决国家优先事项。该网站将利用其国家安全局指定的信息保障教育学术卓越中心和NSF资助的云计算研究仪器和计算研究中心，以增强和丰富参与者的竞争力研究经验。本科生参与者将能够通过与大学教授，取证实验室的专业人员和研究人员，IT行业的从业人员以及军队中的安全官员的互动，对安全和取证的重要性有一个广泛而统一的认识。该研究有可能为新兴的网络安全领域的研究核心做出贡献。更广泛的影响集中在为多样化的学生提供获得网络安全和取证研究经验的机会。该网站将利用与区域机构建立的合作和沟通渠道进行学生招聘。通过广泛的研究培训和认真的指导，该计划有很大的潜力，以吸引新鲜的年轻人进入研究生院，并推进在网络安全和取证的研究和教育在本科水平在美国中南部的艺术状态。
