What was missing
- Awards · No nationally or internationally recognized prize or award for excellence established.
- Leading or critical role · Evidence does not establish leading or critical role for distinguished organization or sustained national acclaim from involvement.
- Membership · Membership does not require outstanding achievement as essential condition for admission.
- Original contributions · Patent applications alone do not establish major contribution; intrusion detection systems lack extensive documentation of significance.
- Scholarly articles · Publication of articles alone insufficient; greater scientific community reaction not documented; no evidence of sustained national or international acclaim.
- Final merits · Failed to meet at least three criteria; evidence does not demonstrate sustained acclaim at very top of field.
