A paper written by second year student Ashish Malviya (MSIM '11) and co-authored by Sr. Research Scientist Dr. Glenn Fink, Statistician Landon Sego (both of Pacific Northwest National Laboratory) and iSchool Associate Professor Barbara Endicott-Popovsky is selected for the presentation at the Information Technology New Generation workshop (ITNG 2011) and for inclusion in the conference proceedings to be published by the IEEE Computer Society/CPS (IEEE Conference Publishing Services).

The paper emerged out of Malviya's work in Information and Infrastructure Integrity Initiative during his summer internship at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. The paper, "Situational Awareness as a Measure of Performance in Cyber Security Collaborative Work," discusses the significance of measuring situational awareness to predict the performance of cyber defenders in a collaborative work environment. The article is forthcoming in a journal to be published by IEEE Computer Society.

"Situational Awareness as a Measure of Performance in Cyber Security Collaborative Work" was authored by Ashish Malviya, Glenn Fink, Landon Sego and Barbara Endicott-Popovsky. Malviya will present his findings during the 8th International Conference on Information Technology: New Generations ITNG 2011, to be held from April 11-13, in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA.
