Last week, the National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded $21.6 million to 34 institutions across the country through the foundation’s Campus Cyberinfrastructure-Network Infrastructure and Engineering (CC-NIE) program. The projects will seek to improve U.S. University and college computer networks that are necessary for movement of the large data sets required for data-intensive scientific research. The awards to the 34 institutions across 23 states support two categories of awards: Network Integration and Applied Innovation awards provide support of up to $1 million for up to two years. These awards address the challenges of achieving end-user network performance across complex, distributed research and education environments. They seek to integrate existing and new technologies with applied innovations by […]
Computing Community Consortium Blog
The goal of the Computing Community Consortium (CCC) is to catalyze the computing research community to debate longer range, more audacious research challenges; to build consensus around research visions; to evolve the most promising visions toward clearly defined initiatives; and to work with the funding organizations to move challenges and visions toward funding initiatives. The purpose of this blog is to provide a more immediate, online mechanism for dissemination of visioning concepts and community discussion/debate about them.
