Phase II IUCRC Unversity of Texas at Dallas: Center for Security and Software Engineering (S2ERC)

随着软件越来越频繁地集成到我们生活的各个方面，由于其操作失败导致越来越多的破坏性后果，尽管需要高质量的可靠和安全的软件，但时间表和预算不断减少，因此学术界和工业界之间的合作研究团队至关重要。位于达拉斯的德克萨斯大学IUCRC站点强调技术开发以及软件测试和质量保证的转让。它符合安全和软件工程研究中心（S2 ERC）的使命。因此，有强大的协同作用，使这个网站成为S2 ERC的主要大学网站之一。该网站的教师在软件测试和验证的行业合作方面拥有广泛的专业知识和背景;软件故障定位和程序修复;软件可靠性，度量和风险分析;编程语言;软件安全系统;以及软件和系统安全。德克萨斯大学达拉斯分校（UTD）位于一个拥有许多高科技公司的地区，为开展学术/工业合作研究提供了绝佳的机会。UTD有一个强大的软件工程计划，提供BS，MS和博士学位。该学生人才库可用于属于该IUCRC网站和S2 ERC范围内的合作软件工程和安全研究项目的工作。将该网站添加到S2 ERC将扩大和改善该中心在全国两个最重要学科的研究：软件工程和安全。来自新行业分支机构的会员费将增加S2 ERC的整体计划收入。有了更大的资金池，该中心将能够吸引更多的建议，以满足行业需求，并开发先进的技术应用程序，以降低成本的可靠和安全的软件开发。这不仅将吸引更多的公司加入，而且将深刻影响国家的技术创新和改善国家的经济。该网站将遵循S2 ERC使用的相同数据管理计划。每个项目将在最早的合理时间向公众公布其数据，这些数据将在项目结束后至少三年内提供。一个指定的网站（http：paris.utdallas.edu/stqa）将用于管理和传播通过该网站赞助的研究项目产生的所有数据，而S2 ERC拥有一个更全面的存储库，包括中心内的项目以及在其他地点进行的项目。该奖项反映了NSF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。

As software is integrated more frequently into every aspect of our lives, as its failure in operations causes increasingly devastating consequences, as schedules and budgets are continually reduced despite the need for high-quality reliable and secure software, it is critical to have cooperative research teamwork between academia and industry. The University of Texas at Dallas IUCRC site emphasizes technology development as well as transfer on software testing and quality assurance. It matches the mission of the Security and Software Engineering Research Center (S2ERC). Hence, there is strong synergy in having this site become one of the major university sites of S2ERC. Faculty members of this site have extensive expertise and background in industry collaboration in software testing and verification; software fault localization and program repair; software reliability, metrics and risk analysis; programming languages; software security systems; and software and system safety. The University of Texas at Dallas (UTD) is located in an area with many high-tech companies that provide excellent opportunities for conducting academic/industrial cooperative research. UTD has a strong Software Engineering program offering BS, MS, and PhD degrees. This student talent base is accessible for work on cooperative software engineering and security research projects that fall within the scope of this IUCRC site and S2ERC.The addition of this site to S2ERC will broaden and improve the Center's research in two of the nation's most important disciplines: software engineering and security. Membership fees from new industry affiliates will increase the overall program income of S2ERC. With a larger pool of funding, the center will be able to attract more proposals in response to industry needs and develop advanced technology applications for dependable and secure software development at a reduced cost. This will not only attract additional companies to join, but also profoundly impact the nation's technological innovation and improve the country's economy.This site will follow the same data management plan used by S2ERC. Each project will release its data to the public at the earliest reasonable time and the access to such data will be available for at least three years after conclusion of the project. A designated website (http://paris.utdallas.edu/stqa ) will be used for management and dissemination of all data generated by research projects sponsored via this site, whereas S2ERC has a more comprehensive repository that comprises projects within the center as well as those conducted at other sites.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.
