IUCRC Phase I University of Notre Dame: Center for Science, Management, Application/s, Regulation, and Training [SMART]

Cyber SMART是IUCRC第一个将计算机科学（CS）与相关的NSF社会与经济科学（SES）和行为与认知科学（BCS）项目战略性地结合起来进行网络研究的项目之一。这种多学科的方法使工业界、教育工作者、学生和政府能够更好地理解网络的影响。这种全面的方法开辟了重要的新的和未充分利用的调查途径，特别是在CS， SES和BCS的交叉点。该中心独特的技能显著增加了组织研究的深度和广度，为一系列学科的学者和学生提供了研究和教育机会，并为政策、标准和法规提供了信息。Cyber SMART的CS专业知识涵盖分布式账本技术和标准、安全信息系统、人工智能（AI）（包括神经科学和神经技术）、网络安全和安全通信、后量子网络安全、金融/经济、商业管理、数字身份、网络法律/法规、政策、心理学和伦理。在整个中心，每个站点都有特定的、互补的专业知识。虽然所有站点都具有强大的CS、SES和BCS能力，但每个站点在特定领域都具有领先的专业知识。例如，圣母大学以其在犯罪调查和国家安全方面的专业知识而闻名；数字账本技术、生物识别反欺骗和生物伦理，以及其在人类认知和行为方面的领先专业知识，对其他网站的能力形成了补充和补充。Cyber SMART具有独特的定位，可以进行全面解决日益数字化带来的后果的研究。在更广泛的影响方面，中心的工作将使行业、使用产品和服务的个人、教育工作者和学者、监管机构和整个社会受益。应用CS，结合相关的SES和BCS专业知识，可以全面理解所有问题，更好地构建研究框架，并制定有针对性的可行解决方案。最重要的是，新的跨学科合作将带来教育和培训方面的创新以及更大的包容性。该中心的行业参与和外联活动是专门为妇女、女孩和代表性不足的少数民族提供职业激励、培训和就业服务的。Cyber SMART将在IUCRC结束后的至少三年内，维护一个中心范围的项目储存库，包括研究数据、代码、结果、模拟器、模拟器、科学论文等。该中心位于乔治城大学，拥有一个比世界自然保护委员会更长久的机构储存库。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。

Cyber SMART is one of the first IUCRC to strategically combine computer science (CS) and the related NSF social and economic sciences (SES) and behavioral and cognitive sciences (BCS) programs to cyber research. This multidisciplinary approach enables better understanding by industry, educators, students, and government of the impact of cyber. This comprehensive approach opens significant new and under-utilized avenues of enquiry, particularly at the intersection of CS, SES and BCS. The Center’s unique skill-set significantly increases the depth and breadth of research available to organizations, the research and education opportunities available to academics and students in a range of disciplines, and informs policy, standards, and regulation. Cyber SMART’s CS expertise covers distributed ledger technology and standards, secure information systems, artificial intelligence (AI), including neuroscience and neurotech, cybersecurity and secure communications, post-quantum cybersecurity, finance/economics, business management, digital identity, cyber law/regulation, policy, psychology, and ethics. Across the Center, each Site has specific, complementary expertise. While all Sites have strong CS, SES, and BCS capability, each site has leading expertise in specific areas. For example, the University of Notre Dame is known for its expertise in crime investigation and national security; digital ledger technology, biometrics anti-spoofing and bio ethics, and its leading expertise in human cognition and behavior complements and supplements the capabilities of other Sites. Cyber SMART is uniquely positioned to produce research that comprehensively addresses the consequences of increased digitization. In broader impact, the Center’s work will benefit industry, individuals who use products and services, educators and scholars, regulators, and society in general. Applying CS, with relevant SES and BCS expertise enables comprehensive understanding of all the issues, better framing of research, and development of targeted and feasible solutions. Most importantly, new cross-discipline collaboration will bring innovation in education and training and greater inclusion. The Center’s industry engagement and outreach is specifically designed to engage women, girls, and underrepresented minorities for career motivation, training and employment. Cyber SMART will maintain a Center-wide project repository including research data, code, results, emulators, simulators, scientific papers, etc., for at least three years after the end of the IUCRC. The Center lead site at Georgetown University has an institutional repository that will outlast the life of the IUCRC.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.
