  The nation's major support infrastructures, including transportation systems, power distribution, financial transaction, healthcare delivery, etc., heavily depend on the services of networked information infrastructure, yet these are increasingly threatened by terrorists and others who seek to disrupt our ability to carry out daily activities. Dr. Steve Demurjian is researching ways to secure information sharing necessary in response to a crises, from natural disasters to war or potentially terrorist activities. To handle a crisis, a coalition's or alliance of governmental, military, civilian, and international organizations is formed to effectively solve the crisis. Dr. Demurjian's research strives to overcome dynamic coalition problems, including inherent security, resource, and or information sharing risks that occur as a result of the coalition being formed quickly, while ensuring the information is shared among coalition members.
