The NSF Net-centric and Cloud Software and Systems Industry/University Cooperative Research Center (NCSS I/UCRC) is a multi-university cooperative established in 2009 with a collaborative research partnership between the University of North Texas (UNT) and the University of Texas at Dallas (UTD), with Southern Methodist University (SMU) as an affiliated academic site. The original academic sites (UNT and UTD, with SMU as an affiliated member) will complete Phase I in February 2014 and are seeking to continue operations as Phase II I/UCRC sites. The research focus of the NCSS I/UCRC is on cost-effective methods of enabling the rapid design and deployment of highly efficient and dependable net centric and cloud hardware/software systems that must operate in various environments subject to potentially stringent response time, power, heat, security and resource constraints. By combining the diverse capabilities and expertise of the participating academic institutions and the real-world experiences of engineers from well-known innovative high tech companies, the center will enhance the research capabilities of all the participants. The NCSS I/UCRC will develop innovative and practical technologies for modeling, analysis, design, implementation, verification and validation, deployment, and evolution of a variety of net-centric and cloud systems. This systems-oriented research is aimed at enabling the coordinated hardware/software development of highly dependable integrated net-centric and cloud systems.The NCSS I/UCRC research will enable industry to develop and leverage emerging net-centric and cloud computing platforms and infrastructures. The industrial sectors that benefit from the center include defense, energy, transportation, health care, commerce, homeland security, and emergency preparedness/emergency response industries. The Center has actively worked with the Metroplex Technology Business Council (MTBC) Innovation Group in Dallas/Fort Worth metropolitan area and led to the creation of a new MTBC Special Interest Group (SIG) in the area of cloud computing. The NCSS I/UCRC will continue to provide education and training of students to meet our nation?s future workforce needs in these rapidly emerging and evolving technology areas. Many of the software tools, and infrastructure (e.g., sensors labs) developed at UNT site were made available to students in various courses such as sensor networks (with 30 students per year), computer architecture (with 40 students per year). The UTD site developed courses on cloud computing systems, Internet of Things, programming and optimization of applications on heterogeneous multicore systems, power management for multi-core systems, and other NCSS related topics. Over 60 students have enrolled in these courses over the past 3 years. A significant growth in enrollments in these courses is anticipated. The Center activities also have and will continue to provide real-world research experience for several graduate and undergraduate students as well as international education and research collaboration in this area with some faculty and students from universities in China, France, Germany, Italy, Taiwan, and Turkey.

NSF以网络为中心的云软件和系统行业/大学合作研究中心（NCSS I/UCRC）是一个多大学合作研究中心，成立于2009年，北德克萨斯大学（UNT）和德克萨斯大学达拉斯分校（UTD）之间建立了合作研究伙伴关系，南卫理公会大学（SMU）作为附属学术网站。最初的学术网站（UNT和UTD，SMU作为附属成员）将于2014年2月完成第一阶段，并寻求继续作为第二阶段I/UCRC网站运营。NCSS I/UCRC的研究重点是经济有效的方法，以实现高效和可靠的网络中心和云硬件/软件系统的快速设计和部署，这些系统必须在各种环境中运行，这些环境可能会受到严格的响应时间，功率，热量，安全性和资源限制。通过结合参与学术机构的各种能力和专业知识以及知名创新高科技公司工程师的实际经验，该中心将提高所有参与者的研究能力。NCSS I/UCRC将开发创新和实用的技术，用于各种网络中心和云系统的建模，分析，设计，实施，验证和验证，部署和演进。这项面向系统的研究旨在实现高度可靠的集成网络中心和云系统的协调硬件/软件开发。NCSS I/UCRC研究将使行业能够开发和利用新兴的网络中心和云计算平台和基础设施。受益于该中心的工业部门包括国防，能源，交通，医疗保健，商业，国土安全和应急准备/应急响应行业。该中心积极与达拉斯/沃斯堡大都会区的大都会技术商业理事会（MTBC）创新小组合作，并在云计算领域创建了一个新的MTBC特别兴趣小组（SIG）。NCSS I/UCRC将继续为学生提供教育和培训，以满足我们的国家？在这些快速发展的技术领域，未来的劳动力需求。许多软件工具和基础设施（例如，传感器实验室）提供给学生各种课程，如传感器网络（每年30名学生），计算机架构（每年40名学生）。UTD网站开发了云计算系统、物联网、异构多核系统上的应用程序编程和优化、多核系统的电源管理以及其他NCSS相关主题的课程。在过去三年中，有60多名学生参加了这些课程。预计这些课程的注册人数将大幅增加。该中心的活动也已经并将继续为一些研究生和本科生提供真实世界的研究经验，以及与来自中国，法国，德国，意大利，台湾和土耳其大学的一些教师和学生在这一领域的国际教育和研究合作。
