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提供支持。WEIS促进关于信息安全的跨学科、跨部门(即，学术界、产业界、非营利组织和政府)和跨国家的讨论。之所以选择将重点放在信息安全经济学上，不仅是因为它的内在重要性，还因为它是将社会、计算机和信息科学家和工程师聚集在一起，分享各自领域的知识、信息和方法的基础。Weis涵盖了NSF安全和值得信赖的网络空间(SATC)计划的核心问题，涵盖了基金会内的计算机和信息科学与工程(CEISE)以及社会、行为和经济科学(SBE)理事会。Weis会议的美国和欧洲与会者各占一半，少数来自亚洲的与会者。比赛地点在美国和欧洲之间轮换，每年在美国和欧洲轮流举办两年。这笔赠款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，让他们与著名的研究人员见面和互动，从而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.
