PROBLEM ADDRESSED

  • Contributions to Developing a Science of Security - We will design and implement an evaluation process for assessing the effectiveness and impact of the Lablet's research and community development activities (McGowen, Wilson, & Wright).
  • Contributions to Security Science Research Methodology - We will examine both the impact of Lablet work on the maturity of the SoS field and the methodological rigor of the Lablet research projects themselves (McGowen, Carver).
  • Development of a Community of Practice for the Science of Security - We will develop methods to assess whether Lablet activities are contributing to the development of a sustainable community of practice for the SoS field (McGowen, Wilson, & Wright).

ACCOMPLISHMENT HIGHLIGHTS

  • Dr. McGowen gave an invited talk about the Lablet evaluation strategy at the LAS H&SS Seminar Series on June 28.
  • The Lablet hosted their Summer 2016 Workshop.  The workshop theme was on the impact of research on industry and government security practice.  The workshop was well attended by participants from the lablet, university, industry, and government representatives.  88% of respondents to a feedback survey reported that the workshop was useful of very useful, over all.  The vast majority of respondents (81-77%) also said that the workshop had a positive of very positive impact on their opportunities to learn about industry security needs and challenges, their thinking about the ways in which academic research can be used to address industry security needs and challenges, their thinking about how academic research can be communicated to better influence security practice, and their opportunity to interact with members of the Lablet.
