"..This program focuses on the fundamental science and technology needed to facilitate the efficient, high-speed transfer of information through networks and distributed systems. Projects funded span the entire spectrum, from network design and performance evaluation to middleware and software frameworks in support of applications running on top of networks and distributed systems. Projects may also address how networks and distributed systems interact with underlying communications technology and other related disciplines. Research areas that fall within this program include high speed networks, optical networks, wireless and mobile networks, traffic control, resource management, quality of service, protocols, multicast, network security, network design, network management, performance evaluation, network architectures, network systems, object-oriented frameworks for networks, agent-based networks, multimedia applications, and multiple access protocols."
