In May of 2013, we reported that the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT) of Japan signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU), facilitating a partnership on research in networking technology and systems enabling future Internet/new-generation networks. The first round of awards through the Japan-U.S. Network Opportunity (JUNO) program have been announced.
From the Press Release:
The seven awards aim to explore fundamental aspects of next-generation computer networks, investigating how to scale these networks to support trillions of network-connected devices and objects.
