Student Support for the 15th Workshop on the Economics of Information Security (WEIS 2016)

该项目为2016年信息安全经济学研讨会（WEIS）提供支持。WEIS促进跨学科、跨部门（即学术界、工业界、非营利组织和政府）以及关于信息安全的跨国讨论。选择关注信息安全经济学不仅是因为其内在的重要性，还因为它将社会、计算机和信息科学家和工程师聚集在一起，分享来自各自领域的知识、信息和方法。WEIS涵盖了NSF安全与可信网络空间（SaTC）计划的核心问题，涵盖了基金会内部的计算机与信息科学与工程（CISE）和社会、行为与经济科学（SBE）两个部门。世界经济论坛的与会者中，美国和欧洲各占一半，少数与会者来自亚洲。举办地在美国和欧洲轮流举行，每两年在美国举行，一年在欧洲举行。这笔资助的所有资金将用于支持美国本科生和研究生参加2016年6月在加州大学伯克利分校举行的WEIS会议。因此，该项目将为美国学生提供宝贵的机会，让学生与著名的研究人员见面并互动，从而进一步促进他们自己的研究事业。

This project provides support for the 2016 Workshop on the Economics of Information Security (WEIS). WEIS fosters cross-disciplinary, cross-sector (i.e., academia, industry, nonprofit, and government), and cross-national discussion on information security. The focus on the economics of information security was chosen not only because of its intrinsic importance, but also because of its basis for bringing together social, computer, and information scientists and engineers to share knowledge, information and methods from their respective domains. WEIS covers issues that are core to the NSF's Secure and Trustworthy Cyberspace (SaTC) program, and spans both the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) and Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences (SBE) Directorates within the Foundation. The WEIS conference draws a 50/50 split between US and European participants, with a small number of participants from Asia. The venue rotates between US and European locations, with two years in the US for every year in Europe. All funds from this grant will go towards supporting US undergraduate and graduate student attendance at the WEIS conference, to be held in June 2016 at the University of California, Berkeley. This project will thus provide US students with valuable opportunities for students to meet and interact with notable researchers, thereby furthering their own research careers.
