NNS12AA74T / NNS08AA83B - OTHER FUNCTIONS: STATEMENT OF WORK AUTONOMOUS MICRO-MODULAR MOBILE DATA CENTER CLOUD COMPUTING STUDY FOR MODELING, SIMULATION, INFORMATION PROCESSING AND CYBER-SECURITY VIABILITY THIS PROJECT PROPOSES TO UTILIZE AN AUTONOMOUS MICRO-MODULAR MOBILE DATA CENTER AS A TEST-PLATFORM FOR AN INFRASTRUCTURE-AS-A-SERVICE CLOUD COMPUTING SOLUTION AT THE NATIONAL CENTER FOR CRITICAL INFORMATION PROCESSING AND STORAGE (NCCIPS). A RELOCATABLE ADAPTIVE SUSPENSION EQUIPMENT RACK (R.A.S.E.R DX) ON LOAN FROM ELLIPTICAL MOBILE SOLUTIONS WILL BE UTILIZED AS A TEST-PLATFORM FOR DATA CENTER STUDIES OF INTEREST TO NASA AND NCCIPS IN THE FOLLOWING AREAS: OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE COULD INCLUDE ANALYSIS OF HOT SWAPPABLE CAPABILITIES FOR MINIMUM DOWN--?TIME, INTELLIGENT SENSOR SYSTEM FOR AUTONOMOUS OPERATION (BUILT--?IN ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING), SHOCK AND VIBRATION ISOLATION (FOR USE IN HABITABLE ENVIRONMENTS), AND INTELLIGENT FAULT TOLERANCE (FAILURE PROGNOSTICS, DIAGNOSTICS AND ADAPTIVE CONTROL SELF--?HEALING). ENERGY USAGE AND UTILIZATION COULD INCLUDE ENERGY CONSUMPTION AND OPERATION STUDIES PERTINENT TO HIGH DENSITY COMPUTING, PROCESSING, RESOURCE ALLOCATION AND THERMAL MANAGEMENT CONTROL STRATEGIES. VIABILITY TESTING AS AN AGILE AND SCALABLE PLATFORM FOR INNOVATIVE COMPUTING ARCHITECTURES, HIGHFIDELITY SIMULATION, DECISION MAKING, LONG--?DURATION REMOTE INFORMATION PROCESSING AND MULTI TENANCY. CLOUD COMPUTING SECURITY PENETRATION TESTING AND ANOMALY DETECTION DEFENSE STUDIES TO ASSESS THE ADEQUACY OF CLOUD COMPUTING SECURITY SINCE DISTRIBUTED DATA, MULTI-DEVICE AND MULTI-TENANT SYSTEMS BEING SHARED BY UNRELATED USERS RESULTS IN INCREASINGLY COMPLEX IT SECURITY CHALLENGES. TO PURSUE THE DETECTION OF SECURITY PENETRATIONS IN A CLOUD COMPUTING ENVIRONMENT, AND THE DETECTION AND PROGNOSIS OF ANOMALOUS SYSTEM PERFORMANCE, DR. BIKRAMJIT BANERJEE AT THE UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN MISSISSIPPI (USM) WILL FURTHER DEVELOP, UTILIZE AND DELIVER ALGORITHMS GENERATED AT USM. SPECIFICALLY, USM WILL BE UNDER GRANT FOR THE FOLLOWING TASK: TASK DESCRIPTION: CLOUD COMPUTING FACES INCREASINGLY COMPLEX SECURITY CHALLENGES AS A SHARED USER, DISTRIBUTED DATA, MULTI-DEVICE AND MULTI-TENANT SYSTEM ENVIRONMENT. NEW ALGORITHMS BEING GENERATED AT USM TO DETECT MALICIOUS TEAM ACTIVITIES CAN BE APPLIED AS COMPONENTS OF DEFENSE STUDIES IN THE CLOUD COMPUTING ENVIRONMENT TO ASSESS THE ADEQUACY OF CLOUD COMPUTING SECURITY. ANONYMIZED USER LOG DATA FROM THE RASER CAN BE USED TO TEST, AND FURTHER INFORM THE DEVELOPMENT OF THESE ALGORITHMS. THIS WILL BE USM S PRIMARY AREA OF CONTRIBUTION SINCE THIS HAS BEEN BANERJEE'S FOCUS AREA OF SPECIALIZATION FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS.THROUGH COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH, USM AND NASA HAVE DEVELOPED A NEW TECHNIQUE FOR ANOMALY DETECTION AND PROGNOSIS THAT WILL BE TESTED ON THE RASER (AS TIME PERMITS). POSSIBLE ANOMALOUS EVENTS TO BE CONSIDERED ARE THOSE ASSOCIATED WITH ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING (THERMAL MANAGEMENT AND ENERGY USAGE), SHOCK AND VIBRATION, AND EQUIPMENT FAILURE OR IMPENDING FAILURE. THE WORK UNDER THIS TASK WILL BE PERFORMED BEFORE SEPTEMBER 30, 2012 UNLESS OTHERWISE AGREED (FOR EXAMPLE IF THE RASER EQUIPMENT DELIVERY IS DELAYED), WITH THE FINAL COMPLETED DELIVERABLE DUE WITHIN 30 DAYS OF TASK COMPLETION. THE WORK WILL BE PERFORMED AT USM WITH MEETINGS BETWEEN THE NCCIPS TEAM AND USM HELD VIA CONFERENCE CALL, HOWEVER VISITS TO NCCIPS BY THE USM TEAM ARE HIGHLY ENCOURAGED.DELIVERABLES:PROGRESS REPORTS WILL BE SUBMITTED PERIODICALLY FOR FINAL DELIVERY AS A POTENTIAL CONFERENCE PAPER AND AS A FINAL PRESENTATION TO NASA/NCCIPS. USM WILL CONTRIBUTE TO SECTIONS OF THE FINAL REPORT THAT THE PI WILL DELIVERED TO THE NASA CHIEF TECHNOLOGIST OFFICE AT COMPLETION OF THE PROJECT. SOFTWARE ALGORITHMS DEVELOPED UNDER THIS CONTRACT ARE TO BE DELIVERED IN AN EXECUTABLE FORMAT TO BE DETERMINED BY THE PI DR. WANDA SOLANO. README AND OTHER USER INFORMATION IS TO BE INCLUDED.
