DePaul’s College of Computing and Digital Media (CDM) received nearly $1.5 million in National Science Foundation (NSF) funding to support research into Internet data mining and information security over the next three years.
“DePaul has deep research roots in information management and Web safety research,” said CDM Dean David Miller. “We are grateful that these National Science Foundation grants will allow us to continue our work in these critical and fast-evolving areas.”
The team of Professor Bamshad Mobasher and Associate Professor Jane Cleland-Huang received NSF funding for a three-year investigation into the application of data mining techniques and recommender systems technologies within the software engineering process. This research represents a synergy between Mobasher’s work in Web mining and Cleland-Huang’s work in systems and software engineering. This is a timely project designed to address the needs of a growing number of organizations who adopt collaborative tools such as wikis and forums to gather and manage information. The proposed research is expected to deliver a robust library of algorithms and tools to augment the functionality of wikis, forums and other specialized management tools used in the requirements domain.
Two projects will be led by professors Professor Radha Jagadeesan, associate professors Corin Pitcher and James Riely. The first project, titled “Language Based Accountability,” aims to develop new models, logics, algorithms and theories for analyzing accountability-based approaches to trustworthiness. It is designed to establish a theoretical basis for the design and analysis of accountability mechanisms and to use that theory to develop language-based techniques for statically validating auditors and accountability appliances. These accountability tools supplement purely technology-based approaches to security with insights derived from the interplay between people and technology.
