SCOPE
This Networking Research program seeks to establish
a sound scientific foundation and technological basis needed to
facilitate the efficient transfer of information through
large-scale, high-speed networks and enable new kinds of
communications-oriented service protocols and architectures in
highly heterogeneous and ubiquitous networking and distributed
environments. The focus will be on the capability to securely and
robustly accommodate extreme ranges of user demands and quality of
service requirements. This research is needed to build the next
generation communications and networking infrastructure required
for a current and future, highly connected, IT-enabled society. The
program seeks to fund innovative research that spans the entire
spectrum, from network design and performance evaluation to
middleware and software frameworks capable of providing the
security assurances and adaptability necessary to support various
types of distributed applications and application oriented network
services, as well as tools and analytical models for managing and
analyzing large-scale, highly complex
networks.
