More on CISE Core Programs
  • Annually, 3 CISE divisions issue coordinated
    Solicitation for Small, Medium and Large
    proposals
  • Issued in Summer for Fall submissions
  • Most awards and funding come through this process
  • Despite variety of other programs in which CISE
    participates
  • Review and decision happens in core programs also
  • Intentionally broad (less specified) to allow for
    creativity.

9

14
CISE and Engineering collaboration - Cyber
Physical Systems
  • Conjoining of and coordination between
    computational and physical resources.
    Anticipating improvements in adaptability,
    autonomy, efficiency, functionality, reliability,
    safety, and usability. Systems that respond more
    quickly, are more precise, work in dangerous or
    inaccessible environments, provide large-scale,
    distributed coordination, are highly efficient,
    augment human capabilities, and enhance societal
    wellbeing
  • Joint call for proposals
  • Solicitation NSF 08-641
  • Due February 27, 2009
  • Awards up to 1M/year for 5 years

New in FY 2009
15
Discovery CISE Cross-cutting research programs
New in FY09
  • New solicitation that covers areas that cut
    across the CISE divisions and that could benefit
    from intellectual contributions of researchers
    with expertise in a number of fields or
    sub-fields
  • Invites small (lt500K), medium (lt1.2M) and large
    (lt3M) projects
  • Eligibility no more than 2 proposals per senior
    personnel
  • Focus Areas
  • Data-Intensive Computing
  • Network Research and Engineering
  • Trustworthy Computing

16
Advance Data-Intensive Computing
  • Rethinking how we store, retrieve, explore,
    analyze, and communicate enormous digital
    datasets
  • Computation is data-intensive
  • Demands a fundamentally different set of
    principles, e.g., based on parallelism
  • Requires real-time responsiveness and high
    degrees of fault-tolerance
  • Questions
  • How can we best program data-intensive computing
    platforms to exploit massive parallelism
  • What new programming abstractions can exploit
    these capabilities?
  • How can new designs support appropriate power
    consumption, human maintainability, and economic
    feasibility?
  • How must this computing paradigm evolve to best
    support new data-intensive applications?

17
Advance Network Science and Engineering (NetSE)
  • Considers computer networks as complex, global
    socio-technical infrastructure
  • Encourages researchers to reason about the
    dynamics and behavior of current and future
    large-scale networks and the interdependence
    among the physical, informational and
    communications technologies
  • Promotes research in radical design in network
    architectures by building on the predecessor FIND
    Program
  • Seeks to improve or enable existing or new
    classes of applications, such as multi-player
    games, virtual worlds, augmented reality and
    tele-presence.

18
Advance Trustworthy Computing
  • Builds on its predecessor program Cyber Trust
  • Supports research and education activities that
    explore novel frameworks, theories, and
    approaches toward realizing a trustworthy
    computing future
  • Seeks new knowledge about scientific foundations
    of trustworthiness reliability, security,
    privacy and usability -- to inform trustworthy
    technologies
  • Encourages researchers to explore the integration
    of hardware, networking protocols, systems
    software and applications through new security
    architectures.
  • Seeks to explore trade-offs between security and
    privacy
  • Encourages proposals in the area of usability

Back to Basics
  • CISE is about advancing the computing frontier
  • Supporting outstanding ideas submitted by
    creative people in a broad range of academic
    institutions and organizations.
  • Focus on high-risk projects with high-impact
    potential.
  • Impact may be far in the future and/or
    long-lasting.
  • Impact leads to new knowledge, maybe across
    multiple domains and sectors.
  • Impact can create new economies and change
    societal behavior - not difficult to find
    examples.
