DETER Laboratory Experimenter’s Workshop
		October 25, 2004
Wyndham City Center Hotel
1142 New Hampshire Ave., NW
Washington, DC 20037
Held in conjunction with 11th ACM Conference on Computer and Communications Security 

You are invited to attend a Workshop on the DETER Security Testbed and the EMIST tools and test methodologies.   The goal of the DETER laboratory effort is to create, maintain, and support a collaborative and vendor-neutral experimental environment for cyber-security research. It is intended to provide a center for interchange and collaboration among security researchers and testbed builders. The DETER effort includes:

DETER testbed: a shared testbed infrastructure that is specifically designed for medium-scale (e.g., 100 node) repeatable experiments, and especially for experiments that may involve "risky" code. 
DETER research community: a community of academic, industry, and government researchers working toward better defenses against malicious attacks on our networking infrastructure, especially critical infrastructure. 

The nucleus of the DETER laboratory effort is formed of two research projects, DETER and EMIST, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security Advanced Research Projects Agency (HSARPA). More information on these projects can be found at www.isi.edu/deter 

The workshop will provide an introduction to the testbed and its associated tools and test methodologies.  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 on testing requirements. Register for the workshop by sending email to deterinfo@isi.edu

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: http://www.acm.org/sigs/sigsac/ccs/CCS2004
