Fundamental IT Research: Scalable Information Infrastructure

• Research to support the phenomenal growth of the Internet
  • In 1985 the Internet connected 2,000 computers
  • Today it connects over 37 million computers
  • Future networks will connect at least a billion users and will be more complex - they will connect sensors, wireless modems, and embedded devices

• Proposed research areas:
  • Deeply networked systems (scalability)
  • Anytime, anywhere connectivity (wired and wireless)
  • Network modeling and simulation
