Industry/University Cooperative Research Center for Advanced Computing and Communication

北卡罗莱纳州立大学工业/大学高级计算与通信合作研究中心正在成为一个多所大学的中心，在杜克大学增加了一个研究基地。四家公司将成为该中心的一部分，并与杜克大学一起成为研究基地。新的多站点中心的研究议程将涉及高速网络、可靠和容错系统、数字通信系统、分布式系统、算法和数字图像处理算法。美国陆军和国家安全局提供了额外的资金，以扩大正在进行的研究项目并获得该中心的会员资格。研究人员完全有资格执行中心的研究项目。该中心由计算机与计算研究部（CCR）的Yechelzkel Zalcstein博士共同资助。项目经理建议杜克大学获得以下奖励：第一年10万美元，为期5年（费用由I/UCRC项目和CCR部门分摊）；$30,023一年，由美国陆军提供资金；国家安全局（National Security Agency）每年提供30,074美元。在每个12个月周期结束时，项目经理和/或工程教育中心部门的部门主管将审查中心在一系列更新标准要求方面的进展情况，包括以下内容：1)行业/大学互动发展的程度；2)支撑基础的发展程度；3)一个强有力的研究项目正在发展的程度。如果评审结果令人满意，项目经理将建议在下一阶段继续提供支持。

9418765 Trivedi The North Carolina State University Industry/University Cooperative Research Center for Advanced Computing and Communication is becoming a multi-university Center with the addition of a research site at Duke University. Four companies are becoming part of the Center inconjunction with Duke University becoming a research site. The research agenda of the new multi-site Center will address high- speed networking, reliable and fault-tolerant systems, digital communication systems, distributed systems, and algorithms and digital image processing algorithms. Additional funding to augment the ongoing research program and to obtain a membership in the Center is being provided by the U.S. Department of Army and National Security Agency. The researchers are well qualified to perform the Center's research program. The Center is being co-funded with Dr. Yechelzkel Zalcstein in the Division of Computer and Computation Research (CCR). The Program Manager recommends Duke University be awarded: $100,000 for the first year of a five-year continuing award (cost shared with the I/UCRC Program and the CCR Division); $30,023 for one year with funds provided by the U.S. Department of Army; and $30,074 for one year with funds provided by the National Security Agency. Near the end of each 12-month period the Program Manager and/or the Division Director of the Engineering Education Center Division will review the progress of the Center on a number of renewal criteria requirements, including the following: 1) the extent to which the industry/university interaction is developing; 2) the extent to which the support base is developing; and 3) the extent to which a robust research program is developing. If the review is satisfactory, the Program Manager will recommend support for the next period od this continuing award.
