The REU Site at Florida International University (FIU) will provide participants with a venue to directly participate in state-of-the-art research while exposing them to graduate school life and work in academia and industrial research labs. REU students will participate in team-oriented projects involving several areas of autonomic computing, including self-management in mobile computing, autonomic anomaly and misuse detection, adaptive network traffic monitoring and management, autonomic storage systems, autonomic secure operating systems, and testing of autonomic computing systems. The REU participants will each learn from their team-members and advising faculty, maturing as independent thinkers and developing critical communication, social, and team-work skills. The Site's faculty will continue their mentoring relationships with students after the completion of the summer program to ensure that each project is completed and that each participant will have the support needed to make the transition to graduate school.
