The CNS Division is responsible for programs with a total annual budget of approximately $210 million. CNS supports research and education activities that invent new computing and networking technologies and that explore new ways to make use of existing technologies. The Division seeks to develop a better understanding of the fundamental properties of computer and network systems and to create better abstractions and tools for designing, building, analyzing, and measuring future systems. The Division also supports the computing infrastructure that is required for experimental computer science, and it coordinates cross-divisional activities, such as Secure and Trustworthy Cyberspace (SaTC), Cyber Physical Systems (CPS), and Education and Workforce Development (EWF).
