Research into Metrics and Performance Analysis in Intrusion

About the Research

Challenging research opportunities exist in continuous monitoring, identifying metrics, developing models, and analyzing performance for intrusion detection systems and networks. Specific opportunities include:

• Identifying metrics and continuous monitoring techniques for assessing cyber vulnerability and degree of adversarial activity over wired and wireless networks with distributed intrusion detection sensors.
• Developing experimentally-validated models and computing performance by analyzing, simulating, and/or emulating network traffic, intrusions, false positives and negatives.
• Data fusion, filtering, and secure aggregation in networks with intrusion detection sensors and possibly mobile nodes.
• Validation methods for intrusion detection models, systems, and tools.

About CISD

The Computational and Information Sciences Directorate (CISD) conducts research in a variety of disciplines relevant to achieving and implementing the so-called digital battlefield. Problems address the sensing, distribution, analysis, and display of information in the modern battle space. CISD research focuses on four major areas: communications, atmospheric modeling, battlefield visualization, and computing.

About ARL-RAP

The Army Research Laboratory Research Associateship Program (ARL-RAP) is designed to significantly increase the involvement of creative and highly trained scientists and engineers from academia and industry in scientific and technical areas of interest and relevance to the Army. Scientists and Engineers at the CCDC Army Research Laboratory (ARL) help shape and execute the Army's program for meeting the challenge of developing technologies that will support Army forces in meeting future operational needs by pursuing scientific research and technological developments in diverse fields such as: applied mathematics, atmospheric characterization, simulation and human modeling, digital/optical signal processing, nanotechnology, material science and technology, multifunctional technology, combustion processes, propulsion and flight physics, communication and networking, and computational and information sciences.
