OUR BOARD FOR 2011
Chair: Ed Neller
Vice Chair: Open
Treasurer: Audra Winebrenner
Secretary: John Armstrong
DATE :
Thursday, 26 January, 2012
TIMES :
6:30 p.m. - Dinner
7:00 p.m. - Student Branch Presentation
7:15 p.m. - Dr. Jacobson Presentation
PLACE: Coover Hall
Rooms: 3041S & 3043N in Coover Hall on ISU Campus, Ames, IA
DINNER: Pizza and soft drinks will be provided by the Section.
PROGRAM : `Internet-Scale Event and Attack Generation Environment (ISEAGE)'.
The ISEAGE (pronouced "ice age") project is a cyber-security test bed housed at Iowa State University. This presentation will outline the architecture and the underlying design of ISEAGE. The ISEAGE test bed represents a new paradigm in the area of security research and will enable new and innovative research needed to solve the current security problems facing the world today. It is designed and dedicated to creating a virtual Internet for the purpose of researching, designing, and testing cyber-defense mechanisms. While the ISEAGE test bed was originally conceived to test cyber security, we have been able to build upon the unique and flexible traffic handling of the invironment to allow for the design, research and testing of physical infrastructure changes, as well as disaster recovery for physical infrastructure. Currently, the modifications for research work with physical infrastructure are rudimentary, but with the proper funding the ISEAGE test bed architecture could be used to develope a model of the national infrastructure.
This will be a joint meeting with the IEEE Computer Society and the ISU Student Branch.
SPEAKER : Doug Jacobson
Dr. Jacobson is a University Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Iowa State University and an IEEE Fellow. Dr. Jacobson joined the faculty in 1985 after receiving a PhD degree in Computer Engineering from Iowa State University in 1985. Dr. Jacobson is currently the director of the Iowa State University Information Assurance Center, which has been recognized by the National Security Agency as a charter Center of Academic Excellence for Information Assurance Education. He is also director of the Internet-Scale Event and Attack Generation Environment (ISEAGE). Dr. Jacobson teaches network security and information warfare. Dr. Jacobson's current funded research is targeted at developing robust conutermeasures for network-based security exploits and large scale attack simulation environments. A few funded projects have led to patents and have been successfully transferred into industry. Dr. Jacobson has received two R&D 100 awards for his security technology and has two patents in the area of computer security. Dr. Jacobson has given over 75 presentations in the area of computer security and has testified in front of the U.S. Senate committee of the Judiciary on security issues associated with peer-to-peer networking

DRIVING DIRECTIONS:
From I-35, take the Highway 30 Westbound exit, travel West to the University Boulevard (formerly Elwood Drive)Exit., Turn/merge right (North) onto University Blvd., this does some curves but stay with it, cross Lincoln Way then turn Left (West) onto Osborn Drive. Coover Hall is on the left hand (South) side of the road, past Morrill Rd and on the corner of Osborn and Bissell Rd. Map:Coover Hall.
PARKING:
Parking will be available in Lot 21 near the Armory or Lot 11 North of Town Engineering. Please observe the posted parking regulations.
Feel free to bring a guest ! They do not have to be an IEEE member.
