PSI addresses the
application of
pervasive computing to homeland security. Recent and foreseeable
technological growth in such areas as mobile
communications, wireless and sensor networking, pervasive computing,
sophisticated portable devices, video and image processing, middleware
and agent-based software has motivated us to explore the potential to
create Pervasively Secure Infrastructures (PSI). The goal is to
monitor, prevent, and recover from natural, unexpected, and inflicted
disasters.
The
summary of the PSI project is
available here.
Our aim is to conduct innovative research in
security and develop a
framework for PSI, followed by its prototyping, at the
Institute
for
Research in Security (IRIS) at the
University
of Texas at Arlington.
This project is a collaborative research effort, involving
researchers from University of Texas at Arlington (UTA),
University
of
Kentucky (UKY)
and
Pennsylvania
State University (PSU).
