Conference: SaTC 2.0 Workshop

多年来，NSF SATC(安全和值得信赖的网络空间)计划为许多创新的研究、教育和过渡到实践项目提供了资金。尽管如此，物联网、人工智能、社交媒体、量子计算在后冰盖时代的最新发展需要重新考虑NSF SATC计划的未来方向和优先事项。德克萨斯大学达拉斯分校将主办NSF SATC研讨会(名为SATC 2.0研讨会)，让不同的利益相关者进行讨论，就未来的研究、教育和向SATC项目实践方向的过渡提出建议。研讨会的更广泛的意义和重要性是：1)NSF未来对网络安全和隐私项目的投资将对推动最先进的技术和加强国家安全至关重要。因此，使NSF的投资与新兴的网络安全和隐私格局保持一致，对于解决当前的社会需求至关重要。2)研讨会包括一系列主要旨在教育未来劳动力的活动，并参与开发将增加传统上代表性不足的群体未来参与的活动，从而有助于在SATC计划中创造更多样化和包容性的氛围，并加强未来劳动力解决国家重要问题的能力。研讨会1)允许来自学术界、行业和政府的跨学科研究人员、教育工作者、网络安全和隐私所有领域的实践者聚集在一起，确定SATC计划未来的战略方向建议；2)提供一个开放的跨学科论坛，以交流思想，加强网络安全、政策和社会科学所有领域的专家之间的凝聚力；3)鼓励辩论，将关于南大西洋公约组织未来的跨学科观点富有成效地结合在一起。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

NSF SaTC (Secure and Trustworthy Cyberspace) program has enabled the funding of the many innovative research, education and transition to practice projects over the years. Still, the recent developments in internet of things, artificial intelligence, social media, quantum computing in a post-covid world require reconsidering the future directions and priorities of the NSF SaTC program. The University of Texas at Dallas will host the NSF SaTC workshop (titled SaTC 2.0 workshop) to enable discussion among different stakeholders to arrive at recommendations for future research, education, and transition to practice directions for the SaTC program. The workshop’s broader significance and importance are: 1) The future investment in cybersecurity, and privacy projects by the NSF would be critical in advancing the state of art and enhancing national security. Hence, aligning the NSF investments with the emerging cybersecurity and privacy landscape would be critical to address immediate societal needs. 2) the workshop includes a series of activities primarily targeted to educating the future workforce and engages in developing activities that will increase the future participation of traditionally underrepresented groups, hence, contributing to creating a more diverse and inclusive atmosphere in the SaTC program and strengthening the ability of the future workforce to address problems of national importance.The workshop 1) allows interdisciplinary researchers, educators, practitioners from academia, industry, and government in all areas of cybersecurity and privacy, to come together and determine the strategic direction recommendations for the future of the SaTC program; 2) provides an open interdisciplinary forum for cross-fertilization of ideas and enhancing cohesion between experts on all areas of cybersecurity, policy and social sciences; 3) encourages debate to bring together a productive mixture of interdisciplinary perspectives on the future of the SaTC.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.
