Application, meals, lodging and travel
The deadline for applications was February 28, 2014. Applications are no longer being accepted.
During the 2014 workshop, undergraduate teaching faculty at all levels will be introduced to the role of mathematics and computer sciences in homeland security through the topic of forensics. Government and industry researchers may also attend to learn about new techniques.
CCICADA’s 2014 Reconnect Workshop will be held at the Massachusetts Maritime Academy in Buzzards Bay, MA, from Sunday evening, June 1, through Saturday afternoon, June 7. Our guest speakers, leading experts in their fields, will present a series of lectures and activities.
Participants will be involved in both research activities and in writing materials for use in the classroom or to share with colleagues. Some of these materials will be published in our Technical Report or our Educational Modules Series.
The topic of forensics, popularized by the CSI television series, is associated with the art and science of legal evidence and argument in a variety of areas, from criminal justice to cyber forensics, maritime forensics, and environmental forensics. For example, fingerprint analysis uses graph theory, cyber forensics uses cryptology, CT scans are used across many forensics areas especially in marine mammal forensics, etc. Several of these areas will be discussed, along with the tools used, at the 2014 workshop.
