- This Project Grant award of $400,000 from the National Science Foundation's Division of Computer and Network Systems supports research at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) to develop techniques for monitoring network traffic and estimating Internet performance experienced by users. The project aims to design deep learning frameworks for classifying end-user segments based on access networks, client platforms, and application usage, as well as online sampling, hashing, and...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070) provides $600,000 in funding to The Trustees of Princeton University's Office of Research and Project Administration to develop innovative technologies for fine-grained network monitoring. The key objectives are to create a software component called a Telemetry Imputation Layer (TIL) that can recover detailed network performance data from limited sampling,...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Computer and Information Science and Engineering program totaling $600,000 will fund the development of learning-driven models and methodologies for next-generation cellular network internet measurements from October 1, 2022 to September 30, 2025. The Regents of the University of Minnesota, doing business as the Office of Sponsored Projects Administration, will utilize novel ensembles of Gaussian processes to model rich cross-layer...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $600,000 Project Grant to the University of California, Santa Barbara under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering federal grant program (CFDA 47.070) to develop tools and methodologies for augmenting, denoising and debiasing crowdsourced internet access measurements. The three-year award beginning October 1, 2022 will support the creation of a broadband offerings tool to aggregate internet service provider plan data and link it with...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $750,000 Project Grant under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program to Northwestern University. The 3-year grant, beginning on October 1, 2023, will fund research and development of a privacy-preserving and censorship-resistant Domain Name System (DNS) infrastructure. The project aims to leverage cryptographic techniques like Private Information Retrieval (PIR) to enable DNS resolution without revealing user...
- This Project Grant award of $599,795 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Office of Advanced Cyberinfrastructure was made to The Leland Stanford Junior University (doing business as Stanford University) to build an open-source network measurement platform. The platform is designed to enable researchers and network operators to ask complex, real-world questions about high-speed internet networks, whose performance and traffic characteristics have fundamentally changed over the past...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Computer and Network Systems provided $219,064 to investigate the susceptibility of internet topology to country-level connectivity disruption and manipulation. Funded under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070), the award supported research from October 1, 2021 to July 31, 2022. The Georgia Tech Research Corporation, operating as the Office of Sponsored Programs, received funding to...
- This National Science Foundation project grant of $300,000 will fund foundational research on differentially private Internet measurement from October 2022 to September 2025. Under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program, researchers at the University of California Irvine will conduct three thrusts of work to lay the groundwork for deploying differential privacy in processing Internet measurement data. Specifically, Thrust 1 will study existing practices for collecting and...
- This $600,000 two-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Computer and Information Science and Engineering program will support the development of a first-of-its-kind open-source measurement infrastructure platform. The University of Chicago will design, develop, and deploy this platform to enable new classes of research on digital infrastructure access across U.S. populations. Specifically, the platform aims to facilitate studies on the national digital divide challenge by...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Computing and Communication Foundations provides $527,295 to the University of Maryland, College Park to develop passive measurement tools for detecting internet censorship and traffic tampering. The award, which runs from October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2025, aims to create a collection of measurement tools that can rapidly detect newly censored content and capture what users are actively experiencing, unlike prior active measurement approaches. The tools will be designed for different deployment scenarios, including server-side, client-side, and in-network monitoring at Internet Service Providers. This will enable censorship measurements from diverse vantage points globally. The project is also developing techniques to allow networks to safely and responsibly share their censorship data. No sub-awards are planned under this grant.
