DETER offers Laboratory Experimenters' Workshop Oct. 25
September 22, 2004

Seminar participants will learn to use the DÉTER experimental interface.
 
Specialists will gather in Washington D.C. October 25 to familiarize themselves with a testbed and tools aimed at bolstering Internet defenses against malicious attacks.
 
Participants will receive an introduction to the DETER laboratory, a shared testbed infrastructure that can show how dangerous code can propagate on the Internet -- and how effective defenses might be. A parallel effort called EMIST develops new tools and test methodologies for use in the testbed.

DETER and EMIST are both funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security Advanced Research Projects Agency (HSARPA).

The one-day event will include presentation of DDOS, worm and BGP routing experiments conducted using the testbed by the EMIST team, EMIST software tools, tutorials on testbed usage, DETER testbed operational policy and procedures, and working group sessions that will explain how researchers can arrange to use DETER resources.

The workshop will be at the Wyndham City Center Hotel in Washington D.C. on Monday Oct. 25, the site of the ACM Conference on Computer and Communications Security.

Those interested in attending the conference can request a registration form by emailing deterinfo@isi.edu Registration is by invitation and there is no cost.
