CITADEL: Coordinated Information Technology and Assurance Development and Education Laboratory (SFS)

新墨西哥州采矿和技术研究所(NMT)的协调信息技术和保障开发与教育实验室(Citadel)为信息安全和保障的教育、培训和实际应用提供了智力制高点。Citadel培养学生成为日益重要的信息保障和安全领域的领导者，而不仅仅是实践者。Citadel为教师提供了更多与政府机构最优秀的学生和研究人员合作的机会，并协调了NMT的CAEIAE、信息技术项目、计算机科学系和NMT的ICASA(复杂添加系统分析研究所)部门的工作。这是目前SFS奖学金计划的延续，包括一个定制的课程序列，以匹配学者在信息保证和安全、研究和专业发展以及指导组件方面的兴趣和研究。智力上的优点。Citadel将NMT跨学科教师的专业知识与有才华的学生结合在一起，解决信息保障和安全的真正应用。目前的研究课题包括：自适应控制与动态系统、基于代理的金融系统建模与仿真、软计算应用、网络安全与性能。通过与教员研究人员一起参与，SFS学者正在学习解决当前和未来信息保障和安全的应用问题。Citadel通过将大量的学生研究整合到信息保障中来扩展教育计划。Citadel计划增加了美洲原住民、拉美裔和妇女在信息保障和安全方面的代表性。在目前参加NMT项目的24名SFS学者中，有3名是美洲原住民，1名是西班牙裔，1名是亚裔美国人，5名是女性。为了在这一成功的基础上再接再厉，正在更新招生和留用计划，以进一步改善学生群体的多样性。

The Coordinated Information Technology and Assurance Development and Education Laboratory (CITADEL) at the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology (NMT) provides an intellectual high ground for the education, training, practical application of information security and assurance. CITADEL trains students to become leaders, not merely practitioners, in the increasingly important field of information assurance and security. CITADEL provides faculty enhanced opportunities to work with the best students and researchers at government agencies and coordinates the efforts of NMT's CAEIAE, Information Technology Program, the Computer Science Department, and NMT's ICASA (Institute for Complex Additive Systems Analysis) division. This continuation of the current SFS scholarship program includes a customized course sequence to match the scholar's area of interest and research in information assurance and security, research and professional development, and mentoring components. Intellectual merit. CITADEL brings the expertise of NMT's interdisciplinary faculty together with talented students to address real applications of information assurance and security. Current research topics include Adaptive Control and Dynamic Systems, Agent-based Financial System Modeling & Simulation, Applications of Soft Computing, and Network Security and Performance. By participating with faculty researchers, SFS scholars are learning to address current and future applications of information assurance and security. CITADEL expands the educational program by integrating substantial student research in information assurance.Broader impacts. The CITADEL program increases the representation of Native Americans, Hispanics, and women in information assurance and security. Of the 24 SFS scholars currently participating in the NMT program, three are Native Americans, one is Hispanic, one is Asian American, and five are women. To build on this success, recruitment and retention programs are being updated to further improve on the diversity of the student body.
