Research Information for Students
In addition, I am involved in the following organizations or services:
RESEARCH
My research interests include: Information Security, Embedded Software Engineering, Component-Based Development, Computer Game Design and Implementation, Software Reuse and Metrics, Web Services, and Computer Science Education. From August 2001 to June 2004, my research work was funded by Yamacraw Research Initiative, which is now changed to GEDC, Georgia Electronic Design Center. From 2004 to 2009, my research has been funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), Microsoft Research, Cyber Object Corp., and SPSU. More information about my research is available through the following links:
In order to reach the goals of the Information Security Automation Program (ISAP), we proposed an
ontological approach to capturing and utilizing the fundamental concepts in information security and their relationship, retrieving
vulnerability data and reasoning about the cause and impact of vulnerabilities. Our ontology for vulnerability management (OVM) has been
populated with all vulnerabilities in NVD with additional inference rules, knowledge representation, and data-mining mechanisms. With the seamless integration of common vulnerabilities and their related concepts such as attacks and countermeasures, OVM provides a promising pathway to making ISAP successful.
The revitalization of undergraduate computing education structurally and pedagogically will certainly require a departure
from the existing traditions and curriculum models that have not been effective in spite of all the advances in the design
of language, software development techniques, hardware systems, and algorithmic processes. This project calls these traditions
in question, re-examines the historical evolution of computing education including course content and course sequences, and
proposes a new educational model for undergraduate computing education for the new century.
This Lab focus on embedded software development with component-oriented programming approach. Device Beans encapsulate reusable building blocks in embedded systems construction. The mission of ES/COP Lab is to investigate systematic approaches and methodology to develop trustworthy embedded systems effectively.
The mission of CGDL is to investigate the key issues in computer game design and implementation focusing on innovative software techniques and toolsets for computer game development. Currently our research work center on two areas: (1) Framework based game engines, and (2) Component oriented programming for computer games.
The research works in this Lab center on applying probability theory and statistics in security engineering to develop well-defined, tested, credible methodologies for practice, assessment, and predictability. In particular, SSEL will address the challenges in security engineering such as developing methods of analysis to cope with qualitative variables and providing models with the appropriate error distributions for security engineering applications.
The CBSD Lab addresses fundamental issues in component-based software development. Its goal is to develop and explore a unified component model supporting component assembly and component deployment. Formal and experimental methods will be investigated in CBSD Lab to support reusability, verifiability, and composability of component-based software systems.
You can find answers to some frequently asked questions: How to make a thesis proposal? How to organize my thesis? Should I pursue a Ph.D.? etc.
Please note that different professors might have different requirements for your proposal. This sample proposal reflects only my recommendations.
