One student has completed a Master s degree in work related to this project and several papers describing this work are in preparation. We have applied for continuing funding for the next two years. Data mining applied to intrusion detection. Dr. Rayford Vaughn and I direct a joint project in which fuzzy data mining techniques are used to detect intrusions from audit data collected from computer networks. A journal article and several conference papers have been published that describe the work.
Additional papers are in preparation.
We have been notified that the Army Research Laboratory will fund the project for one year. Proposals for additional support have been submitted to several government agencies. Dr. Anthony Skjellum has joined us as a co-investigator on several of these proposals as we have expanded the scope of the research area to address issues in the cluster computing environment.
