The Dragon Research Group (DRG) is pleased to kick off another major milestone in the community services we provide. The DRG Challenges page details our foray into the world of information security challenges. We currently have two projects underway. At this year's FIRST 2012 conference, the DRG is sponsoring a live, in-person challenge, the DRG FIRST 2012 Challenge. Check out what the winning team will be awarded for their efforts. It is sure to be heated competition. For those not attending the conference, fret not, we are also sponsoring the HotCRP Challenge aimed to help enhance a widely used conference management software package. We invite you to join the DRG challenges mailing list to discuss these and future DRG challenges.
