Future of Infrastructure and computing resource
- 1. Computer Science and Engineering Computer Science and Engineering NSF I/UCRC at SMU: The Final Step Jeff Tian tian@engr.smu.edu CSE/IAB Meeting, Nov. 10, 2007
- 2. Computer Science and Engineering Computer Science and Engineering NSF I/UCRC: What Is It? • Industrial/University Collaborative Research Center • 1973-now, 40+ active centers in all disciplines • Multi-university multi-company collaboration • Industrial support via memberships • NSF match $$ + marketing/administrative support • IAB decides project funding to member universities • Would be the 2nd for SMU (1st: Laser/manufacturing)
- 3. Computer Science and Engineering Computer Science and Engineering NSF I/UCRC: Steps 1. Letter of intent: Summer 2006 Approved 2. Planning proposal (Tian/El-Rewini/Nair): 3/2007 Funded: 9/2007-8/2008 • Support letters: Raytheon, Lockheed-Martin, Dell, T-System, Nokia, Sirific Wireless, Countrywide Financial • Partners: UNT, UTD (+ ASU, UCI, SIU, SUNY-SB, UTSA) • Focus: Net-Centric Software and Systems (existing NCSSC) 3. Full Proposal: by 8/31/2008, funding conditional on sufficient industrial support • Need IAB help to recruit 6+ industrial members
- 4. Computer Science and Engineering Computer Science and Engineering Net-Centric Software & Systems Consortium (NCSSC) and more ... next generation network-ready, interoperable, trustworthy service-oriented systems. SMU in NCSSC: Working with consortium partners since 2005 Focusing on NCSS reliability, security, adaptability and safety Faculty involved: Tian, Huang, Nair, El-Rewini, Kocan
- 5. Computer Science and Engineering Network Centric Software and Systems Core Enterprise Services (CES) Comms Backbone Community- of-Interest (COI) Capabilities Users Messaging ESM Discovery Collaboration Mediation Security/IA App Storage User Asst Levels of Services above core level Support real-time & near-real-time warrior needs and business users C2 Intel Weapon Systems Dynamically Created COIs Logistics Sensors Personnel Finance Etc.
- 6. Computer Science and Engineering Computer Science and Engineering Related Expertise @SMU & Beyond Systematic, risk-based reliability improvement for NCSS (Tian) Value-based quality/defect modeling and complete life-cycle quality engineering (Huang, Tian) Security, fault tolerance, safety, and testing for highly dependable NCSS (Nair, Tian, Kocan) Integration/adaptability/CCC support for NCSS (El-Rewini, Nair, Kocan) Other NCSS expertise and beyond: Experts @SMU, UNT, UTD, ASU, UCI, SIU, SUNY-SB, UTSA
- 7. Computer Science and Engineering Computer Science and Engineering Benefits to Industrial Partners via industry-driven research projects: Cutting edge research for your technology needs and product innovation High-quality, low-risk, long-term relationships without hiring to complement selected in-house R&D Educating/training your staff in emerging technologies One place to go for world class university expertise via royalty-free, non-exclusive access to research Be a part of a team of excellence and prestige: NSF I/UCRC
- 8. Computer Science and Engineering Computer Science and Engineering NSF I/UCRC: The Final Step 1. Letter of intent: Summer 2006 Approved 2. Planning proposal: 3/2007 Funded: 9/2007-8/2008 3. Recruit 6+ industrial members before 8/31/2008 The Final Step • Persuade your company to become a member • Publicizing (brochure/booklet/slides available now/shortly) • Feb. 20-22, 2008: NSF sponsored marketing event for our I/UCRC • With your support, we will bring this NSF I/UCRC to SMU. Thank you!
