This award will help explore the feasibility of a new site addition to the Center for Configuration Analytics and Automation led by the University of North Carolina at Charlotte (UNCC). The award would look at adding Colorado State University to George Mason University (GMU) as a site of the center. The proposed site plans to complement the existing activities by bringing expertise in the areas of networking, software assurance, data streams, privacy and applied cryptography. The UNC/GMU CCAA focuses on cyber-security risks and defense management capabilities in enterprise IT systems, cloud/SDN data centers, and cyber physical systems. The planned CSU site complements the strengths of the existing center by focusing more on these issues in the context of infrastructure security and resilience, data privacy and human factors. If successful, students and faculty will be working on industrial relevant applied research problems that could generate US Jobs in this unique area, and help with the industrial job placement of students working on Center projects. The emerging generation of IT systems are more complex, more integrated with others, more mobile, and more connected through the Internet that introduce complex sources of misconfigurations, exposure, and newer vulnerabilities. Unavoidable and/or intentional human interactions with these systems introduce an additional layer of vulnerability and source of misconfiguration. The proposed center will bring in projects that are driven by the needs of the industry and aim to solve real-world problems.

该合同将有助于探索在夏洛特的北卡罗来纳州大学（联合国赔偿委员会）领导的配置分析和自动化中心增设新站点的可行性。该奖项将考虑增加科罗拉多州立大学乔治梅森大学（GMU）作为该中心的网站。拟议的网站计划补充现有的活动，带来联网、软件保证、数据流、隐私和应用密码学领域的专门知识。 CCAA/GMU CCAA专注于企业IT系统、云/SDN数据中心和网络物理系统中的网络安全风险和防御管理能力。计划中的CSU网站通过在基础设施安全和弹性，数据隐私和人为因素的背景下更多地关注这些问题，补充了现有中心的优势。如果成功，学生和教师将致力于工业相关的应用研究问题，可以在这个独特的领域产生美国就业机会，并帮助学生在中心项目工作的工业就业安置。新一代的IT系统更加复杂，与其他系统的集成程度更高，移动的性更强，通过互联网的连接程度更高，这引入了复杂的错误配置、暴露和更新的漏洞来源。与这些系统的非故意和/或有意的人类交互引入了额外的脆弱性层和错误配置的来源。拟议中的中心将带来由行业需求驱动的项目，旨在解决现实世界的问题。
