Program Responsibilities:

• Digital Archiving and Long-Term Preservation

Beginning in 1984 Larry was an original member of the management team for the NSF’s national supercomputer centers program, now known as Partnerships for Advanced Computational Infrastructure. One of those centers, the National Center for Supercomputing Applications, developed the NCSA Mosaic suite of Internet clients and servers which popularized the World-Wide Web. The development of Mosaic was funded by a group of Federal agencies under Larry’s direction.

Larry is now the Program Manager for a research program in Digital Government. That program has been developed to explore R&D; opportunities in government information services. There are a number of reports from workshops the Program has funded to develop research agendas in various domains:

• The original digital government workshop report and research agenda
• A second report with a different slant: Some Assembly Required: Building a Digital Government for the 21st Century
• Biodiversity and Ecosystems Informatics
• A report on the general topic of electronic government research is at the National Academies of Science.
• Long-Term Preservation of Digital Information
• A Social Science Research Agenda for Digital Government
• Unexpected Events
