Computing Community Consortium Blog

The goal of the Computing Community Consortium (CCC) is to catalyze the computing research community to debate longer range, more audacious research challenges; to build consensus around research visions; to evolve the most promising visions toward clearly defined initiatives; and to work with the funding organizations to move challenges and visions toward funding initiatives. The purpose of this blog is to provide a more immediate, online mechanism for dissemination of visioning concepts and community discussion/debate about them.

NSF Holding First Secure and Trustworthy Cyberspace PI Meeting This Week; Tuesday Afternoon Webcast to Discuss Federal Cybersecurity R&D Strategy

November 26th, 2012 / in Research News / by Kenneth Hines

National Science Foundation (NSF) The National Science Foundation (NSF) is holding this week a first-ever Principal Investigators’ meeting for its Secure and Trustworthy Cyberspace (SaTC) program.  From Tuesday through Thursday, nearly 400 academic researchers, industry partners, and Federal agency officials will gather just outside Washington, DC, for discussions about the status of cybersecurity R&D, including recent progress and the large number of opportunities that lie ahead.

According to the meeting website:

“SaTC is an interdisciplinary program including technologists, social scientists, and educators from programs sponsored by the NSF CISE, SBE, and EHR directorates. This PI meeting will encompass all of these perspectives on cybersecurity through plenary talks, breakout sessions, posters, and informal Birds of a Feather gatherings…”

A key component of the PI meeting will be a session titled “Future of Federal Cybersecurity R&D Strategies” that will be webcast live Tuesday from 1:15pm to 3:00pm EDT. In the session, “Senior Federal representatives will review Government activities in implementing the Federal cybersecurity R&D strategic plan and discuss emerging areas in cybersecurity research that may warrant further focus.” To register for the webcast, please click here.
