Networking Technology and Systems (NeTS): NSFs Networking Technology and Systems (NeTS) program solicits proposals from the networking research and education community, encouraging investigators to make bold assumptions about the future of networking. The scope of the program covers all properties of information networks including network architecture, protocols, algorithms, and proof of concept implementation of hardware and software. Research activities include creation of new network architectures, modeling of phenomena, network design, analysis, measurement, and performance evaluation. The research scope of the program spans many types of networks that include end-to-end complex wide-area networks and sub-networks including local area networks, ad hoc networks, sensor networks, vehicular networks, and optical networks. It also includes research on heterogeneous networks that are hybrids of two or more types of sub-networks. NeTS proposals may be submitted in one of the four programmatic areas defined below: I. Future INternet Design (FIND): Projects will explore revolutionary architectures to develop the "Future Internet" and will address requirements such as core functionalities, security, robustness, openness, economic utility, and social needs as well as support for new technologies and services. II. Networking of Sensor Systems (NOSS): Projects will investigate promising architectures, tools, algorithms and systems that support critical and emerging applications and make it easy to assemble and configure networks of sensor systems. III. Wireless Networks (WN): Projects will address issues pertaining to the phenomena of radio communications, mobility, location, and the limited power supplies of portable information devices. IV. Networking Broadly Defined (NBD): Projects will span a wide range of topical areas in networking, including both theoretical and experimental research that expands our understanding of large, complex, heterogeneous networks, design of access and core networks based on emerging wireless and optical technologies, and other technologies that will continue the evolution of the Internet. NeTS supports the development of innovative curricular materials that have the potential to significantly improve higher education in networking technology and systems areas, particularly in emerging areas or topics that benefit from NeTS research results. Education-focused activities may be submitted as stand-alone projects or as components of broader research and education projects. Stand-alone curriculum development projects are expected to include strong justification for the need for new materials and must include plans both for disseminating them to the community and for evaluating their effectiveness. Proposals that solely focus on education must be discussed with a NeTS Program Officer prior to submission. Four types of awards will be made: * Individual and Small Group grants; * Large Group grants; * Planning grants; and * Workshop grants in new and emerging areas. On occasion, the NeTS program will accept proposals for Small Grants for Exploratory Research (SGERs). These proposals may be submitted on or before the deadline for this solicitation under the conditions described herein, or they may be submitted at any other time in accordance with GPG guidelines. However, prior to submission of any SGER proposal, a PI must discuss their interests with a NeTS Program Officer before submitting the proposal. Additional information about SGER proposals can be found in Section II.D.1. of the NSF Grant Proposal Guide (GPG).
