1: National Information Infrastructure Research

Conduct a program of research to identify and nurture infrastructural technologies and services that will unlock the potential of information and knowledge along with technology itself.

Other Information:

CNRI is committed to furthering the design, implementation, and deployment of selected infrastructure components so that new computing- and communications-based applications can be used to greater advantage, whether for business or government at work, at school, and at home. Experimental development and use of new technologies is often the most effective means for understanding their potential and driving their evolution. CNRI engages in selected system and technology demonstration activities and projects with key institutions where the implications of prototype systems can be studied and refined, and their utility can be determined.

Objective(s):

1.1: Collaborative Activities

1.2: Targeted Research

1.3: MEMS and Nanotechnology

1.4: Educational Initiatives
