Hard Problems

  • Have any of the researchers received feedback on the Hard Problems? Do we need to generate more interest? How?
  • Is there a piece of a hard problem we can bound and do a competition? —the aim would be to increase the awareness and use of science of security as well as solving a piece of the problem.
  • Schneider's map of research domains. What is the relation to the Hard Problems? Trading zones?
1515-1530 Paper competition: reaction of researchers
1530 - 1540 BREAK
1540 - 1600

VO:

  • Use?
  • Should we set up a private chat area where we discuss agenda, for instance?
1600 - 1630 Suggestions of ways to increase the research base doing Science of Security: What can we do to grow the base and establish the culture?
1630 - 1650 Questions? Need to report by the Federal fiscal year.
Possibility of NSA doing BAA for lablet.
