The Members of the Consortium
The Net-Centric Software Consortium is currently made up of four universities and partners in industry.
The consortium will also work with U.S. federal agencies to address the requirements of transitioning software to net-centric systems.
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 without human intervention.
The Consortium's Mission
We envision this consortium to become a leading research alliance in the U.S. Because we can cooperate with the expertise of academic institutions and high-tech companies, we have much greater research capabilities than any one institution working alone.
Given the broad foundation of knowledge that the consortium is built on, we are able to undertake all aspects of software research for net-centric solutions, including modeling, analysis, design, implementation, V&V, testing, deployment, and further evolution of net-centric software.
