| Description: | The Space/Time Analysis for Cybersecurity (STAC) program seeks to enable analysts to identify algorithmic resource usage vulnerabilities in software at levels of scale and speed great enough to support a methodical search for them in the software upon which the U.S. government, military, and economy depend. Proposed research should investigate innovative approaches that enable revolutionary advances in science, devices, or systems. Specifically excluded is research that primarily results in evolutionary improvements to the existing state of practice.See the full DARPA-BAA-14-60 document attached. AMENDMENT 1: The purpose of this amendment is to extend the period of performance from 42 months to 48 months. See the attached PDF “DARPA-BAA-14-60 STAC Amendment 1” for further details as the changes are highlighted in yellow. AMENDMENT 2: The purpose of this amendment is to change the language on pages 24-25 from ‘contract years’ to ‘phases’. See the attached PDF “DARPA-BAA-14-60 STAC Amendment 2” for further details as the changes are highlighted in yellow. |
