Speakers
Program
In 2008-2009, initial funding for the
SDNS Speakers Program was
provided through an ASA Member Initiative to sponsor
three talks. Shane Reese (Brigham Young University) spoke at Iowa State
University (ISU) on “An Adaptive Design Approach to Testing Chemical
and
Biological Threat Detection.” Dr. Reese proposed a flexible class of
models and
an adaptive design approach to better assess chemical and biological
threat
detection systems. While visiting ISU, Dr. Reese also guest-lectured in
ISU’s
graduate Bayesian Analysis course, discussing some of his research on
Bayesian
inference in hierarchical models.
Alyson Wilson (Iowa State
University) spoke
at Texas A&M University (TAMU) on “Statistical Challenges from
Science-Based
Stockpile Stewardship.” Dr. Wilson discussed the use of Bayesian
networks in
system reliability assessment and the development of reliability
assurance test
plans. Her lecture was also recorded to be used as part of TAMU’s
online
learning seminar series.
David Marchette (Naval Surface
Warfare
Center and Johns Hopkins University) spoke at Nova Southeastern
University on
“Statistical Methods for Computer Intrusion Detection.” Dr. Marchette
spoke on
a number of statistical methodologies for computer intrusion detection
and
proposed a framework that incorporates everything from the analysis of
raw
packet flows to the analysis of user behavior. His talk was included as
part of
Nova Southeastern’s Math Awareness Month.
