I wanted to start with a couple things
that I forgot to mention last night
about the history of coasts for those of
you were there you didn't hear this
because I forgot to turn to the next
page and for those of you who missed out
last night you missed on a number of
wonderful things including all the great
posters but I wanted to mention that the
first graduate a PhD graduate out of the
Coast Laboratory Steve Chapin who is a
professor at Syracuse University and I
don't know if he's in the room Steve are
you here these are in the back so he
still remembers those student days and
sits in the back but Steve graduated in
1993 and was the first PhD graduate in
security after Matt Bishop who graduated
in 1984 many of you may know Matt as a
distinguished security academic
currently UC Davis Steve also is
responsible for the name Coast when we
were founding a laboratory we decided we
needed a good acronym to describe what
we're doing and to put on particularly
on government proposals it's impossible
to get a government proposal funded
unless you have an acronym and so Steve
took a couple of the words went home I
guess played with a dictionary threw
dice consulted tea leaves and came up
with the name Coast we as a group loved
it adopted it then we needed a logo and
it turns out we found that in clipart we
found a five and a half inch floppy disk
we stylized it turned it 45 degrees and
if you look back on the poster those of
you who ever saw a five and a half inch
floppy disk will recognize it those of
you who did not consider yourselves
lucky but it goes to the history of when
we had that kind of equipment president
the center we actually had systems that
booted from those lobbies and and so
that's part of the history I encourage
you at
some point during a break to look at
that posters see the names of some of
the people see if you recognize them see
the places that they went to work and
that where they had an influence it
really laid a great groundwork for what
we later came to have is serious
