The President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST) this afternoon released a report — “Designing a Digital Future: Federally Funded Research and Development in Networking and Information Technology” — about the status and direction of the government’s 14-agency, $4.3 billion Networking and Information Technology Research and Development (NITRD) program. The report emphasizes the critical role of advances in networking and information technology (NIT) to the nation’s economic competitiveness — and calls upon the nation to “continue to innovate more rapidly and creatively than other countries in important areas of NIT” in order to sustain and improve overall quality of life.
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.
