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网络中心和云软件和系统行业/大学合作研究中心（NCSS I/UCRC）是2009年成立的多元大学合作社，与北德克萨斯大学（UNT）和德克萨斯大学达拉斯大学（UTAS）（UTD）（UTD）与南方方法论学院（SMU大学（SMU）建立了合作研究合作伙伴关系。原始的学术网站（UNT和UTD，以SMU为附属成员）将于2014年2月完成I阶段，并试图继续作为II/UCRC阶段地点继续运营。 NCSS I/UCRC的研究重点是具有成本效益的方法，即能够快速设计和部署高效且可靠的净中心和云硬件/软件系统，这些硬件/软件系统必须在各种环境中运行，但可能具有潜在的响应时间，功率，热量，热量，安全和资源约束。通过结合参与学术机构的各种能力和专业知识以及著名创新高科技公司的工程师的现实经验，该中心将增强所有参与者的研究能力。 NCSS I/UCRC将开发用于建模，分析，设计，实施，验证和验证，部署以及各种以净为中心和云系统的创新和实用技术。这项面向系统的研究旨在使高度可靠的集成网络和云系统的协调硬件/软件开发。NCSSI/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架构。受益于该中心的工业部门包括国防，能源，运输，医疗保健，商业，国土安全和应急/紧急响应行业。该中心已与达拉斯/沃思堡大都市地区的Metroplex技术商业委员会（MTBC）创新集团合作，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，以满足我们国家在这些迅速发展和不断发展的技术领域的未来劳动力需求。在UNT站点开发的许多软件工具和基础架构（例如，传感器实验室）都可以在各种课程中使用传感器网络（每年30名学生），计算机体系结构（每年有40名学生）提供。 UTD网站开发了有关云计算系统，物联网，编程和优化异质多核心系统的应用程序，多核系统的电源管理以及其他相关主题的课程。在过去的三年中，有60多名学生参加了这些课程。预计这些课程的入学率显着增长。该中心的活动还将并且将继续为几个研究生和本科生以及该领域的国际教育和研究合作提供现实世界中的研究经验，其中一些教职员工和来自中国，法国，德国，意大利，意大利，台湾和土耳其的一些教职员工和学生。
