Joint MURI meeting, Friday September 12, 2008

On Friday 12 September we held a one-day kickoff meeting for two new collaborative projects sponsored by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research that are focused on fundamental problems underlying assured information sharing. The awards were made as part of the FY 2008 DoD Multidisciplinary research Program of the University Research Initiative (MURI) program (ONR BAA 07-036) for topic 8, Assured Information Sharing.

The meeting was held from 9:00am to 5:000pm on Friday, 12 September on the UMBC campus. The meeting presented the research plans and initial results for the two teams, identified and explored areas of collaboration, and provided an opportunity for feedback and comments from government and industry guests.
