This activity develops the underlying computer systems technology to enable applications developers to demonstrate prototype solutions to national- and global-scale problems. The technology is based on those developed for High Performance Computing and Communications, but exhibiting more extensive capabilities for ubiquitous information access, dynamic discovery of and adaptation to new resources, linkage of objects and their dissemination and distribution over inter networked distributed systems, and trusted system operation on behalf of users and applications. To drive the development of these technologies, this activity supports integrated systems technology projects. In particular, this activity will develop the underlying technology base for the fundamental enabling applications of Digital Libraries and Electronic Commerce.
The first element is developing service technologies available to applications developers, built upon bitways, that provides a ubiquitously available, network-aware, adaptive interface upon which to construct national- and global-scale applications. Information Infrastructure Applications Demonstrations are focused efforts for fundamentally enabling applications, such as Digital Libraries and Electronic Commerce. The technologies developed in support of these will enable other applications that require extensive capabilities for large-scale repositories of network-linked objects, adaptation to the surrounding resource environment, usage metering-accounting-payment mechanisms, and privacy-enhanced, secure, and trusted processing. The Global Mobile Information Systems activity is developing the technologies to support applications that must operate in the presence of platform mobility, sporadic connectivity, and dynamically varying bandwidths. Experimental services support experimental design for computational and physical prototyping. |
