Conference: SaTC 2.0 Workshop

多年来，NSF的SaTC（安全和可信网络空间）项目为许多创新研究、教育和实践项目提供了资金支持。尽管如此，物联网、人工智能、社交媒体、量子计算等领域的最新发展要求重新考虑NSF SaTC项目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（标题为SaTC 2.0研讨会），以便不同利益相关者之间进行讨论，为未来的研究、教育和向SaTC项目的实践方向过渡提出建议。研讨会更广泛的意义和重要性在于：1)NSF对网络安全和隐私项目的未来投资对于推进技术水平和加强国家安全至关重要。因此，将国家科学基金会的投资与新兴的网络安全和隐私环境结合起来，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针对教育未来劳动力的活动，并参与发展活动，这些活动将增加传统上代表性不足的群体的未来参与，从而有助于在SaTC计划中创造更加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、工业界和政府的跨学科研究人员、教育工作者、从业人员在网络安全和隐私的所有领域聚集在一起，为SaTC计划的未来确定战略方向建议；2)提供一个开放的跨学科论坛，促进思想的交流，增强网络安全、政策和社会科学各个领域专家之间的凝聚力；3)鼓励辩论，将跨学科的观点结合在一起，对SaTC的未来产生有益的影响。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。

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.
