GREPSEC II: Underrepresented Groups in Security Research

该提案为第二届GREPSEC：安全研究中的弱势群体研讨会提供资金，该研讨会将与2015年5月在加州圣何塞举行的年度IEEE安全与隐私研究研讨会相关联。第一次活动于2013年5月举行，吸引了50名参与者，其中三分之二是学生，几乎全部来自弱势群体。USC/ISI将为妇女和未被充分代表的少数民族组织一个为期一天半的计算机安全和隐私研讨会。研讨会将于2015年5月16日至17日举行。这是IEEE计算机协会安全与隐私研讨会的前一个周末，这是安全领域的首要会议，这个研讨会将在加州圣何塞举行。研讨会的主要目标是增加计算机安全研究领域的女性和未被充分代表的少数族裔的人数。安全是一个广泛的领域，包括网络安全、操作系统安全、基于语言的安全、取证、隐私以及法律和政策问题。组织者的目标是鼓励来自代表性不足群体的女性博士生选择安全作为他们的专业领域。他们的方法是展示该领域内的广泛问题，以及妇女和代表性不足的群体如何努力解决这些问题。

This proposal provides funding for the second GREPSEC: Underrepresented Groups in Security Research workshop, which will be affiliated with the annual IEEE Symposium on Research in Security & Privacy, in May 2015, in San Jose CA. The first event, held in May 2013, attracted 50 participants, two-thirds of them students, and almost all from underrepresented groups.USC/ISI will organize a day-and-a-half-long workshop for women and underrepresented minorities in computer security and privacy. The workshop will be held May 16-17, 2015. This is the weekend before the IEEE Computer Society's Security and Privacy Symposium, the premier conference in security, and this workshop will be co-located in San Jose, California.The broad goal of the workshop is to increase the number of women and underrepresented minorities in computer security research. Security is a wide field, encompassing network security, operating system security, language-based security, forensics, privacy, as well as legal and policy issues.The goal of the organizers is to encourage Ph.D. students who are female and from underrepresented groups to choose security as their field of specialization. Their approach is to show the wide range of problems within the field and how women and underrepresented groups are working towards solving those problems.
