Large Scale Networking
Program Component Area |
(Updated March 2004)
|
Overview
LSN R&D will assure U.S. technological leadership in communications
through R&D that advances the leading edge of networking technologies
and services. This includes advanced network components and technologies
for engineering and management of large scale networks, both for scientific
and engineering R&D and for other purposes. Areas of particular
focus include (1) technologies and services that enable wireless,
optical, mobile, and wireline communications; (2) networking software
that enables information to be disseminated to individuals, multicast
to select groups, or broadcast to an entire network; (3) research
on scalability and modeling of the Internet; (4) improving end-to-end
performance and performance measurement; (5) software for efficient
development and execution of scalable distributed applications; (6)
software components for distributed applications, such as electronic
commerce, digital libraries, and health care; and (7) infrastructure
support and testbeds.

Conferences and Workshops
NASA Research and Education Network (NREN) Workshop at NASA Ames Research
Center (June 25-27, 2001)
New
Visions for Large-Scale Networks: Research and Applications March
12-14, 2001
| |
The Federal agencies of the Large Scale Networking
Coordinating Group (LSN CG) held a March 12-14 Workshop on New
Visions for Large-Scale Networks: Research and Applications
to stimulate bold thinking and to explore new directions that
could revolutionize future networks and applications. The objective
of the workshop was to develop a vision of future networking
needed to support societal transformations over the next 15-20
years, discuss networking capabilities needed to empower those
visions, and identify Federal networking research needs to provide
those networking capabilities. Participants were invited from
a wide spectrum of the private and government sectors who have
expertise and interest in large scale and advanced networking
research including academic, commercial, laboratory and other
researchers and Federal networking representatives. The workshop
provided inputs from these networking experts at the initiation
of the Information Technology Research and Development (TR&D)
program to guide the LSN agencies in their development of Federal
agency networking research programs for FY 2002-2006 and beyond
to enable the needed networking capabilities.
