Research within the CSL is focused on information security issues relating to the security of information held on or transported by computers and computer networks. Recent research has addressed issues concerning the exploitation of computer networks by attackers using covert communications channels for command and control of the target machines they have compromised. The research has also focused on the appropriate technical response to computer network attack and the defensibility of computer networks. The talk will address these issues in the context of a computer network cyber-defense exercise the CSL participated in recently. The cyber-defense exercise to be described is an annual exercise sponsored by a US government agency. Participants include students from the United States Military academies and postgraduate schools, and RMC. The exercise took place over a one week (5day) time frame were the participating schools were required to defend networks they had built from cyber-attack by a government attack team. The conduct of the exercise and the experiences of the RMC CSL team will be used in the talk to describe and highlight the ongoing research activities of the CSL research group.

Topic:  Computational Interestingness

Abstract: As humans we have considerable mental hardware devoted to detecting what's interesting in our environment, and using it to drive our attention. We find this so easy that it's hard to see how difficult a problem detecting what's interesting really is. Even a workable definition of interestingness is not straightforward. I will talk about how to make the detection of interestingness computational. This has applications in all forms of data mining, and in settings where resources are constrained and must be allocated (first, or at all) to the most significant possibilities.

Topic:  The (Re)Usability of Everyday Computational Things: Why Industrial Design will be the New Interaction DesignAbstract: We are at the dawn of a new age: display materials with unprecedented capabilities in terms of three-dimensional form. Flexible Organic Light Emitting Diodes (FOLEDs) and Flexible Electrophoretic Ink (E Ink) present a third revolution in display technologies that will greatly alter the way computer interfaces are designed. Instead of being constrained to the flat (or rather, somewhat rounded) surfaces of the Cathode Ray Tube (CRT), or the really flat surfaces of the Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) Dynabooks and tablet PCs, we will have the ability to shrink-wrap displays around any three-dimensional object, and thus, potentially, every everyday thing. One consequence of these organically shaped displays is a world in which technology and interactive displays are becoming a commodity for industrial designers: computational materials, not unlike plastics or wood. When user interface technologies become so integrated into everyday products that their interface truly disappears, the art of interface design will become truly ubiquitous.
