Science & Engineering Beyond
Moore’s Law
FY 2009 Investment: $20 million
Beyond Moore’s Law
• To position the U.S. at the forefront of
communications and computation
capability beyond the physical and
conceptual limitations of current systems.
• Activities will encourage transformational
activities as well as creating partnering
opportunities with the private sector and
national laboratories to accelerate
innovation.
Adaptive Systems Technology
FY 2009 Investment: $15 million
Adaptive Systems Technology
• Focuses on generating creative pathways
and natural interfaces between human and
physical systems that will revolutionize the
development of novel adaptive systems.
• Is essential to advances in highlyinnovative adaptive control systems,
hybrid computer architectures, improved
electronic PDA’s, and computer-based,
self-paced, learning and training tools.
Dynamics of Water Processes
in the Environment
FY 2009 Investment: $10 million
Water
• Aims to increase fundamental understanding of
the Earth’s freshwater systems and provide the
scientific basis for decision-making about water
resources.
• Efforts will include fundamental research on the
complex processes and feedbacks that affect
the vulnerability and resilience of freshwater
systems to climate and environmental change.
Cyber-enabled Discovery and Innovation
FY 2009 Investment: $100 million
CDI
• To advance science and engineering along
fundamentally new pathways opened by
computational capabilities
• Three specific foci:
– From Data to Knowledge
– Understanding System Complexity
– Virtual Organizations
Petascale Computing &
Cyberinfrastructure
FY 2009 Investment: $682 million
