Sandia builds Android-based network to study cyber disruptions
As part of ongoing research to help prevent and mitigate disruptions to computer networks on the Internet, researchers at Sandia National Laboratories in California have turned their attention to smartphones and other hand-held computing devices. Sandia cyber researchers linked together 300,000 virtual hand-held computing devices running the Android operating system so they can study large networks of smartphones and find ways to make them more reliable and secure.

Sandia, OurEnergyPolicy.org release 'Goals of Energy Policy' poll results
US energy policy should simultaneously pursue security of its energy supply, economic stability and reduced environmental impacts, says a national poll of energy professionals jointly prepared by Sandia National Laboratories and OurEnergyPolicy.org. The findings of the national poll, "The Goals of Energy Policy," show that the vast majority -- more than 85 percent -- of the 884 energy professionals surveyed prefer policy making that pursues all three goals at once.

Sandia experts, students explore cyber issues during weeklong summer institute
Top graduate students pursuing careers in cybersecurity worked alongside Sandia and other prominent cybersecurity experts in a week-long summer institute sponsored by Sandia National Laboratories at the Livermore Valley Open Campus. Cyber Security Technology, Policy, Law, and Planning for an Uncertain Future, which followed last year's institute on energy technology and policy, focused on cyber law, policy, information sharing and other cyber-related issues. Three mentors led the students through a robust series of high-level talks, discussions and workshops from Aug. 5-10.
