| Abstract: | Minutes from a presentation by George Strawn, National Science Foundation at the CENDI October 3, 2000 meeting in Germantown, MD on October 3, 2000. Dr. Strawn summarized a report by the President's Information Technology Advisory Committee (PITAC). The report indicates that Information Technology will transform our society in the way we communicate, deal with information, learn, practice health care, design and build things, conduct research, understand the environment, conduct government, and the nature of commerce and work. During this transformation four areas were identified as needing major improvements: software, scaleable infrastructures, high-end computing, and the socioeconomic impacts of IT. He also highlighted some of the major activities of the Information Technology Research (ITR) Program. These activities include eight areas of research: advanced computational science, human-computer interface design, information management, IT education and the workforce, revolutionary computing, scalable information infrastructure, social and economic implications of IT and software. These areas of research align closely with PITAC's areas of concern. PITAC has been re-authorized until February 2001 and continues to review and report on IT matters including cross-agency the Next Generation Internet program, the digital divide, and the ITR program at NSF. |
