Phase II IUCRC Unversity of Texas at Dallas: Center for Security and Software Engineering (S2ERC)

随着软件越来越频繁地集成到我们生活的方方面面，由于其操作失败导致越来越严重的破坏性后果，尽管需要高质量、可靠和安全的软件，但进度和预算不断减少，学术界和工业界之间的合作研究团队合作至关重要。德克萨斯大学达拉斯分校的IUCRC网站强调技术开发以及软件测试和质量保证的转移。它符合安全与软件工程研究中心（S2ERC）的使命。因此，使该网站成为S2ERC的主要大学网站之一具有很强的协同作用。该网站的教师在软件测试和验证的行业协作方面具有广泛的专业知识和背景；软件故障定位与程序修复；软件可靠性、度量和风险分析；编程语言;软件安全系统；以及软件和系统安全。德克萨斯大学达拉斯分校（UTD）坐落在一个拥有许多高科技公司的地区，为开展学术/工业合作研究提供了极好的机会。UTD拥有强大的软件工程专业，提供学士、硕士和博士学位。该学生人才基地可用于在IUCRC网站和S2ERC范围内的合作软件工程和安全研究项目。S2ERC的这个站点将扩大和改进该中心在国家最重要的两个学科的研究：软件工程和安全。新行业会员的会员费将增加S2ERC的整体项目收入。有了更大的资金池，该中心将能够吸引更多的提案，以响应行业需求，并以更低的成本开发可靠和安全的软件开发的先进技术应用。这不仅会吸引更多的公司加入，而且会深刻影响国家的技术创新，改善国家的经济。本网站将遵循与S2ERC相同的数据管理计划。每个项目将在合理的时间尽早向公众公布其数据，并在项目结束后至少三年内提供这些数据。一个指定的网站（http://paris.utdallas.edu/stqa）将用于管理和传播通过该网站资助的研究项目产生的所有数据，而S2ERC有一个更全面的存储库，包括中心内的项目以及在其他网站进行的项目。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

As software is integrated more frequently into every aspect of our lives, as its failure in operations causes increasingly devastating consequences, as schedules and budgets are continually reduced despite the need for high-quality reliable and secure software, it is critical to have cooperative research teamwork between academia and industry. The University of Texas at Dallas IUCRC site emphasizes technology development as well as transfer on software testing and quality assurance. It matches the mission of the Security and Software Engineering Research Center (S2ERC). Hence, there is strong synergy in having this site become one of the major university sites of S2ERC. Faculty members of this site have extensive expertise and background in industry collaboration in software testing and verification; software fault localization and program repair; software reliability, metrics and risk analysis; programming languages; software security systems; and software and system safety. The University of Texas at Dallas (UTD) is located in an area with many high-tech companies that provide excellent opportunities for conducting academic/industrial cooperative research. UTD has a strong Software Engineering program offering BS, MS, and PhD degrees. This student talent base is accessible for work on cooperative software engineering and security research projects that fall within the scope of this IUCRC site and S2ERC.The addition of this site to S2ERC will broaden and improve the Center's research in two of the nation's most important disciplines: software engineering and security. Membership fees from new industry affiliates will increase the overall program income of S2ERC. With a larger pool of funding, the center will be able to attract more proposals in response to industry needs and develop advanced technology applications for dependable and secure software development at a reduced cost. This will not only attract additional companies to join, but also profoundly impact the nation's technological innovation and improve the country's economy.This site will follow the same data management plan used by S2ERC. Each project will release its data to the public at the earliest reasonable time and the access to such data will be available for at least three years after conclusion of the project. A designated website (http://paris.utdallas.edu/stqa ) will be used for management and dissemination of all data generated by research projects sponsored via this site, whereas S2ERC has a more comprehensive repository that comprises projects within the center as well as those conducted at other sites.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
