Security Engineering Research Group

Updates?

A.A. everyone,

Are there any updates on the activities of the group? My updates are that I’ve been working on checking the papers and writing the thesis guide for City University. I’m finished with both and should be getting back to Isabelle on Monday, Inshaallah.

Any updates on the projects etc? And what about MMA’s phd defence/final exam?

Google Summer of Code

What is Google Summer of Code?

Google Summer of Code^TM is a program that offers student developers stipends to write code for various open source projects. Google will be working with a several open source, free software and technology-related groups to identify and fund several projects over a three month period. Historically, the program has brought together over 1,000 students with over 100 open source projects, to create hundreds of thousands of lines of code. The program, which kicked off in 2005, is now in its third year, following on from a very successful 2006.

While the majority of past student participants were enrolled in university Computer Science and Computer Engineering programs, GSoCers come from a wide variety of educational backgrounds, from computational biology to mining engineering. Many of our past participants had never participated in an open-source project before GSoC; others used the GSoC stipend as an opportunity to concentrate fully on their existing open source coding activities over the summer. Several of our 2005 students went on to become mentors in 2006.
