Dependable Distributed Enterprises and Services

分布式系统（集群、网格、对等）是许多新应用的支柱。这有可能为消费者提供更及时、准确和全面的信息，以供他们在金融、医疗和其他领域做出重大决策。与任何新技术一样，相关应用程序的设计和实施应使用户能够依赖应用程序的可用性和结果，这是该网络的主要重点。CI将以多种方式进行合作，从基础研究到应用，以创建和维护高度可靠的计算机系统和网络应用程序。

Distributed systems (clusters, grids, peer-to-peer) are the mainstay of many new applications. This has the potential of providing consumers with much more timely, accurate, and comprehensive information on which to base major decisions in financial, medical, and other areas. As with any new technology, related applications should be designed and implemented in such a way that users can depend on the application's availability and results, which is the main focus of this network. The CIs will collaborate in several ways, ranging from basic research to applications, to enable the creation and maintenance of highly dependable computer systems and networked applications.
