The Center for Dynamic Data Analysis (DyDAn), led by Rutgers
University, is one of four Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Centers of Excellence affiliated with
the Institute for
Discrete Sciences (IDS). IDS is a joint project between
DHS and several national laboratories, based at
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. DyDAn coordinates the
other three IDS Centers of Excellence which are located at the University
of Illinois, the University of Pittsburgh, and the University of
Southern California.
The DyDAn Center has been replaced by CCICADA: see
ccicada.org.
