The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency will sponsor an industry 
workshop on defending mobile ad hoc networks Feb. 18.

DARPA wants to develop technologies that protect such networks from 
worms, malicious codes, remote intrusions and run-time failures. It 
did not say when it plans to issue the program's requests for 
proposals.

According to an announcement released today, the Defense Department's 
research and development shop must prepare and develop defenses for 
mobile ad-hoc networks because the department's emerging 
network-centric warfare systems will experience computer network 
attacks and hardware and software failures, which could prevent forces 
from accomplishing their missions.

The workshop fee is $125 per person. The event is limited to three 
people per organization.

DARPA will hold the workshop at the Hyatt Regency Crystal City in 
Arlington, Va. The registration deadline is Feb. 12.

Signup forms for the event and for giving an oral presentation are 
available by e-mailing Leanne Wiegand at lwiegand () snap org.
