REU Site: Secure and Privacy-Preserving Cyber Physical Systems

该CISE本科生研究经验(REU)站点奖资助田纳西理工大学一个新的REU站点，专注于网络物理系统的安全。计算机物理系统(CP)是在计算算法和物理组件的无缝集成的基础上构建并依赖于其的工程系统。新的CPS技术将改变人们与工程系统的交互方式，这些系统通常是日常生活的基础，包括交通、能源、医疗保健、制造、建筑设计和许多其他对我们的社会至关重要的领域。至关重要的是，这些系统要与人们无缝地操作和互动，并且它们是安全的和隐私保护的。REU网站将为本科生提供在暑假期间与教师导师一起在最先进的研究实验室工作的机会，这些项目对我们所有人来说都是令人信服和重要的。研究生教育网络兵团(注册商标)服务奖学金计划是该项目的共同资金来源。该项目由一个优秀的团队领导，提供现代化的设施和专业的导师，指导本科生探索与开发安全的网络物理系统相关的问题。学生将学习如何使用当前的工具和技术来解决那些直接影响人们和日常生活质量的问题。该团队将使用经过验证的策略，从传统上在计算机科学领域代表性不足的群体中招收本科生。这些学生将参加研究和职业发展活动，所有这些活动都是为了实现留住和毕业计算机科学和工程专业的本科生，从计算机领域传统上代表性不足的群体招收学生，以及增加研究生项目的招生人数。

This CISE Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site award funds a new REU site at Tennessee Technological University focused on security of cyber-physical systems. Cyber-physical systems (CPS) are engineered systems that are built from, and depend upon, the seamless integration of computational algorithms and physical components. New CPS technology will transform the way people interact with engineered systems that often are fundamental to daily lives including transportation, energy, healthcare, manufacturing, building design, and many other areas critical to our society. It is vital that these systems operate and interact with people seamlessly and that they are secure and privacy-preserving. The REU site will provide undergraduates the opportunity to work during the summer with faculty mentors in state-of-the-art research labs on projects that are compelling and important to all of us. The Division of Graduate Education CyberCorps (R) Scholarship for Service Program is co-funding this project.The project is led by an outstanding team offering modern facilities and professional mentors to guide undergraduates in explorations of problems related to developing secure cyber-physical systems. Students will learn how to use current tools and techniques to solve those problems that have direct impact on people and the quality of daily life. The team will use proven strategies to recruit undergraduate students from groups traditionally under-represented in computer science. The students will participate in research and professional development activities all designed to achieve the goals of retaining and graduating undergraduate students in computer science and engineering, recruiting students from groups traditionally under-represented in computing fields, and increasing recruitment of students into graduate programs.
