Multi University Research and Training in Protection of Critical Information Infrastructures

计算机科学系、电子和计算机工程系、机械工程系以及国家安全研究和培训中心以及路易斯安那州立大学战略倡议办公室共同致力于增加在信息保障和安全方面有学术天赋的教师的教育和教学机会。该项目的重点是增加美国公民的数量，包括代表人数不足的群体的成员，他们将在新兴的信息保障和安全领域推进他们的教学和研究。六对教师/学生学者将参加一个为期两年的培训计划。培训计划是一系列发展活动，包括暑期研讨会、国家实验室/研究中心参观和学年微型助学金。学者们探索在保护关键任务信息基础设施方面的公开科学问题，包括广域网威胁检测和使用基于模型的脆弱性分析方法对复杂事件进行推理。学者们还开发培训和教学材料，供本国机构使用。来自国家和国土安全实验室的杰出学者与路易斯安那州立大学国家安全研究和培训中心合作，鼓励在信息保障和安全方面的研究，并扩大学者群体。

The Departments of Computer Science, Electrical and Computer Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering as well as the National Center for Security Research and Training, and the Office of Strategic Initiatives at Louisiana State University jointly aim to increase the educational and pedagogical opportunities for academically talented faculty in information assurance and security. The focus of this project is to increase the number of US citizens, including members of under-represented groups, who will advance their teaching and research in the emerging areas of information assurance and security. Six Faculty/Student Scholar pairs are participating in a two-year training program. The training program is a series of development activities that include summer workshops, national lab/research center visits, and academic year mini-grants. Scholars explore open scientific problems in the protection of mission-critical information infrastructures including wide-area network threat detection and reasoning about complex events using model-based approaches to vulnerability analysis. Scholars also develop training and pedagogical materials for use at their home institutions. Distinguished scholars from national and homeland security laboratories work in collaboration with the LSU National Center for Security Research and Training to encourage research in information assurance and security and to extend the community of scholars.
