REU Site: Secure and Privacy-Preserving Cyber Physical Systems

这个CISE本科生研究经验（REU）站点奖资助了田纳西理工大学一个新的REU站点，专注于网络物理系统的安全性。信息物理系统（CPS）是由计算算法和物理组件的无缝集成而建立并依赖于此的工程系统。新的CPS技术将改变人们与工程系统的互动方式，这些系统通常是日常生活的基础，包括交通、能源、医疗、制造、建筑设计以及许多其他对我们社会至关重要的领域。至关重要的是，这些系统的运行和与人的互动是无缝的，他们是安全和隐私保护。REU网站将为本科生提供在最先进的研究实验室中与教师导师一起工作的机会，这些项目对我们所有人来说都是引人注目和重要的。研究生教育处网络部队服务奖学金项目是该项目的共同资助机构。该项目由一支优秀的团队领导，提供现代化的设施和专业的导师，指导本科生探索与开发安全网络物理系统相关的问题。学生将学习如何使用当前的工具和技术来解决那些直接影响人们和日常生活质量的问题。该团队将使用经过验证的策略，从传统上在计算机科学领域代表性不足的群体中招募本科生。学生将参与研究和专业发展活动，所有这些活动都旨在实现留住和毕业计算机科学和工程专业的本科生，从传统上在计算机领域代表性不足的群体中招募学生，并增加研究生课程的学生招募。

This CISE Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site award funds a new REU site at Tennessee Technological University focused on security of cyber-physical systems. Cyber-physical systems (CPS) are engineered systems that are built from, and depend upon, the seamless integration of computational algorithms and physical components. New CPS technology will transform the way people interact with engineered systems that often are fundamental to daily lives including transportation, energy, healthcare, manufacturing, building design, and many other areas critical to our society. It is vital that these systems operate and interact with people seamlessly and that they are secure and privacy-preserving. The REU site will provide undergraduates the opportunity to work during the summer with faculty mentors in state-of-the-art research labs on projects that are compelling and important to all of us. The Division of Graduate Education CyberCorps (R) Scholarship for Service Program is co-funding this project.The project is led by an outstanding team offering modern facilities and professional mentors to guide undergraduates in explorations of problems related to developing secure cyber-physical systems. Students will learn how to use current tools and techniques to solve those problems that have direct impact on people and the quality of daily life. The team will use proven strategies to recruit undergraduate students from groups traditionally under-represented in computer science. The students will participate in research and professional development activities all designed to achieve the goals of retaining and graduating undergraduate students in computer science and engineering, recruiting students from groups traditionally under-represented in computing fields, and increasing recruitment of students into graduate programs.
