  1. The Division includes two lines of effort: • Networking Research • at a point of explosive growth, new definition under the Information Technology Initiative • Networking Infrastructure • at a point of major redefinition and refocus • NEW DIRECTIONS FOR ANIR

  2. New Directions in Networking Research • Fundamental research in networking will deal with ways of extending the reach of networking through pervasive and ubiquitous networking of heterogeneous devices performing a variety of services in office, industry, and home environments. • Build the scientific basis for future developments in networking • Maintain our leadership capability in networking

  3. Scalability: Extending the reach by researching networking architectures that can support very large increases in the number of people and the number and variety of devices connected to them. • Security and Privacy in the Information Infrastructure: Extending the reach to applications such as medicine and commerce that must have security and privacy. • Tools for Networked Collaboration: Extending the reach to remote collaborations of the future

  4. Tetherfree Communications: Extending the reach to unwired locations and moving users. • Social & Economic Implications of Information Technology: Extending the reach to novel applications that arise as IT stimulates the transformation of society

  5. New Directions in Network Infrastructure Infrastructure is a Tool for Enabling Research and Education Stimulate and contribute to and make available to the research and education community the very latest in high performance networking capability

  6. Some History: NSFNET vBNS High Performance Connections Applications Abilene vBNS+ Other Agency Networks Industry Developments No longer necessary to directly support backbone networks

  7. EXTENDING THE REACH • of High Performance Networking • through • Networked Applications • Networking for New Participants • Network and Middleware Service Capabilities • Enabling Research / Education

  8. Networked Applications • Distance Living and Learning • Scientific Data Observation, Analysis and Visualization • Scientific Databases • Tools for Telecollaboration • Interdisciplinary from the initial planning stages • Teams of researchers

  9. Networking for New Participants insuring that institutions not now taking advantage of high performance networking have the opportunity to do so technical assistance management awareness appropriate partnering for technical strength for funding resources appropriate applications for collaborative applications in education and research

  10. Network and Middleware Service Capabilities development of middleware network service capabilities to provide for ready and stable user service required for the efficient utilization of the capabilities now becoming available in backbones End-to-End performance, extending beyond the edge of the backbone seamless high performance network and middleware services across different backbones identify new high performance network needs of the scientific disciplines and enable the network community to meet these needs integrate network research and network infrastructure activities in network and middleware services development partnerships between discipline-specific researchers, networkers

  11. Program Announcements • Special Projects • Networking Research • Internet Technology • Middleware • Connections • ITR

  12. Network Access Technologies Access Networks: Wireless Satellite Fiber in the Office or Campus Middleware: Mobility Services Broadband Last Mile Technologies

  13. NSF INITIATIVES BIOCOMPLEXITY NANOTECHNOLOGY INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY 21st CENTURY WORKFORCE Networking is a key component of all of the NSF initiatives

  14. RECENT CSTB REPORTS MAKING IT BETTER: EXPANDING INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY RESEARCH TO NEET SOCIETY’S NEEDS THE INTERNET’S COMING OF AGE
