This funding renews a Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Site at theUniversity of Missouri – Columbia. Undergraduate students will investigate a variety of interesting andchallenging problems that involve consumer networking applications and services that are of significanceto the economy and quality of life in areas such as social computing, health care, and public safety. Thestudents will participate in the faculty mentors’ on-going funded research, investigate technicallychallenging issues and develop viable solutions and insights. They will participate in professionaldevelopment activities to prepare them for future graduate studies and a broad range of emergingcomputing careers. The site will focus on recruiting students from non-PhD granting institutions withparticular emphasis on institutions in and around the state of Missouri.The intellectual merit of the project rests with the leadership, an experienced research group withexcellent expertise and experience in the research area. The research will focus on broad topics such as:software-defined networking/virtualization, visual cloud computing, immersive learning with virtualreality, mobile sensing and environment recognition, securing networked consumer applications, andapplication-aware network performance optimization. The research activities will lead to a betterunderstanding of the multitude of efficiency, performance, reliability, scalability, and security issues andtradeoffs in consumer networking technologies and related applications. Advanced networkingenvironments and software developed in the previous REU site programs as well as novel testbeds such asthe Missouri University Science DMZ (demilitarized zone) environment, NSF-supportedCloudLab/FABRIC and Mizzou CAVE, smart device equipment, and sensor-based monitoring will beleveraged by the participating students in hands-on experiments within their research projects.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

这笔资金更新了密苏里大学哥伦比亚分校的本科生研究体验 (REU) 站点，本科生将研究各种有趣且具有挑战性的问题，这些问题涉及对各地区的经济和生活质量具有重要意义的消费者网络应用和服务。学生将参与导师资助的持续研究，调查技术上具有挑战性的问题并制定可行的解决方案和见解，为未来做好准备。研究生学习该网站将侧重于从非博士学位授予机构招收学生，特别是密苏里州及其周边地区的机构。该项目的智力优势取决于领导层，这是一个经验丰富且优秀的研究小组。研究领域的专业知识和经验将集中于广泛的主题，例如：软件定义网络/虚拟化、视觉云计算、虚拟现实沉浸式学习、移动传感和环境识别、保护网络消费者应用程序、研究活动将有助于更好地理解消费者网络技术和相关应用程序中的众多效率、性能、可靠性、可扩展性和安全问题以及权衡。以及密苏里大学科学 DMZ（非军事区）环境、NSF 支持的 CloudLab/FABRIC 和 Mizzou CAVE、智能设备和基于传感器的监控等新型测试平台参与学生在其研究项目的实践实验中相信这一点。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
