RESEARCH| GROUP MEMBERS| PUBLICATIONS| OPENINGS| SECURITY SEMINARS We are a group consisting of students and faculty at SITE, University Of Ottawa collaborating with IBM for research related to software security. Our current main focus includes research on the latest security attacks/vulnerabilities as well as their implications with regard to rich internet applications. We are particularly interested in the challenges associated with automatic crawling rich internet applications, and have developped a promising new technique called "Model Based Crawling". In order to validate our approach, we are working in collaboration with Dr. Kirsten Uszkalo, head of the Witches in Early Modern England (WEME) project, and creator of the site WEME site and resources. The WEME project designs and deploys strategically intersecting, innovative, and experimental digital tools to allow for robust searching and pattern finding within the corpus of texts relating to early modern witchcraft. Beyond that, its open-ended platform encourages further expansion by users, to push the limits of how digital technologies can enhance and inspire the academic interrogation of existing corpora. We have chosen to work with the WEME project's online resources (see Witch Tools at http://witching.org/toolbrowser/) because their structure and intensive usage of Ajax makes them an ideal benchmark to evaluate and compare Ajax crawling engines. We are often looking for prospective graduate students who are interested in working on topics related to software security and application modeling. Please see our current openings We also host software security seminars to discuss topics of interest. Hypercube Hypercube2 Hypercube3 Hypercube4 |
