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...

This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $100,000 supports the development of a programmable closed-loop measurement platform for last-mile networks. Funded under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070), the award brings together researchers from the University of California, Santa Barbara and the University of Chicago from October 1, 2022 to September 30, 2023. The project aims to explore the feasibility of a scalable data collection platform that...

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 collaborative research project, funded by the National Science Foundation's Division of Computer and Network Systems under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070), awards $540,000 to the University of Washington to develop NetFusion, a rack-scale disaggregated network solution designed to optimize data center performance. The project, which runs from August 1, 2025, through July 31, 2029, delivers research and development services focused on...

The National Science Foundation awarded a $997,908 Project Grant to the University of California, Berkeley under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA #47.070) to develop an extensible internet architecture for scientific applications from April 1, 2022 to March 31, 2024. The university will work with sub-awardees Mount Holyoke College, New York University, the University of Washington, and the International Computer Science Institute to build upon the Extensible...

This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Office of Advanced Cyberinfrastructure, under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering federal grant program (CFDA 47.070), provides $499,907 to New York University to develop a fast, scalable, distributed cyberinfrastructure across multiple university buildings. The cyberinfrastructure aims to meet the specialized data storage and processing demands of media researchers through (1) large-scale storage, (2) fast, low-latency...

This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Computer and Network Systems, under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering federal grant program (CFDA 47.070), provides $500,000 to the University of California, Davis for research into efficient migration strategies from current single-band optical networks to next-generation multi-band optical networks. The award supports investigation of brownfield migration approaches from C-band to C+L bands, as well as...

This $130,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070) will support planning activities for a proposed national testbed facility focused on fiber-based ground motion and deformation sensing. The key objectives are to: Develop the technical framework and feasibility plan for an "Internet Sensor Network" (Internet-S) testbed that would leverage modifications to existing internet...

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.
