Four
NSF ITR Awards
In
September 2000, the National Science Foundation (NSF) announced
its first grants under the new Information Technology Research
(ITR) initiative. The ITR initiative is to help strengthen
America 's leadership in a sector that has accounted for
one-third of U.S. economic growth in recent years. The
strategy to support long-term, high-risk research responds
to a challenge from the President's Information Technology
Advisory Committee (PITAC), which called for increased
federal investment to maintain the U.S. lead in this important
sector of the global economy. We are delighted that we
have five faculty who are contributing to this major effort:
• Timothy
Simpson - "Information Management for Product
Family Planning and Mass Customization"
• Qian
Wang - "Data-Driven Automatic Performance Modulators
for Servers"
• Kon-Well
Wang - "Agent-Based Framework for Active-Passive
Hybrid PZT Vibration Control Networks"
• Michael
Modest and Dan Haworth - "Algorithms
for Thermal Radiation, Turbulence and Chemical Interactions"
