Welcome
Welcome to the NSF Net-Centric Software & Systems Industry/University Cooperative Research Center (Net-Centric IUCRC) home page.
Our Center focuses on a collaborative approach of research and development in net-centric systems. This allows us to draw on the expertise of industry and academia.
Net-Centric operations offer a computing model for the future. In this paradigm, we no longer view applications as having a fixed set of capabilities: we see them as a set of highly reliable services that are dynamically created from acquired services, then verified and validated in the field in real-time.
We offer
- A rich environment for collaboration between industry and academia
- Cutting-edge research opportunities focused on critical business partner technology needs
- Leveraged "force multiplier" to accelerate generation of new ideas for product innovation
- One place to go for access to a broad set of world class university expertise
- An expert source for company staff education and training in emerging technologies
- A targeted, low-risk, and cost-effective complement to selected in-house R&D
- The opportunity to establish high-quality, long-term research relationships without hiring
