Abstract
The Federal Computing, Information, and Communications (CIC) programs are investing in long-term research and development (R&D) to advance computing, information, and communications in the United States, and to help Federal departments and agencies fulfill their evolving missions in the 21st century. This report summarizes the goals and objectives of the CIC R&D programs by Program Component Area (PCA) and presents a condensed view of some of the programs' FY 1998 accomplishments and FY 1999 plans.
 
The CIC PCAs are:

  • HECC:  High End Computing and Computation
  • LSN:  Large Scale Networking, including the Next Generation Internet Initiative
  • HCS:  High Confidence Systems
  • HuCS:  Human centered Systems
  • ETHR:  Education, Training, and Human Resources
Special sections are included on the Partnership for Advanced Computational Infrastructure (PACI) and Netamorphosis -- the demonstration of leading-edge Next Generation Internet applications held in Washington in March, 1998. The document includes a comprehensive list of Government personnel who are involved in the CIC programs.
