Distributed Scalable Systems
Robert Neches, DirectorThe Distributed Scalable Systems Division innovates and integrates advanced technologies that help distributed collections of humans, software, and machines coordinate and act to analyze and manipulate their environments - rapidly, effectively, and securely. The Division engages in science, applications, and integration projects on all aspects of systems that explore, sense, and alter the world. Our research is premised on the critical trends of the next decade: widely disseminated, highly distributed computing in a highly connected world. In that context, the division explores the design and use of very large systems that integrate people, software, information processors, sensors, and actuators as potential elements. Issues of scale are explored across many dimensions, with a particular focus on scaling in size, heterogeneity, and distribution of components. Multiple levels of systems research and development are ongoing. The Division supports research on individual components, with a particular emphasis on assistive tools (software and hardware components that augment human analytic, sensory, or physical capabilities). Interfaces and interconnections that support the assembly of components into larger systems are also of great interest, as are mechanisms for monitoring and controlling complex systems. The common theme across all efforts is rapid response enabled by effective and secure use of web-connected assets. |
