Big Data

The Big Data Senior Steering Group (BD SSG) works to facilitate and further the goals of the White House Big Data R&D Initiative.
Cyber Physical Systems (CPS)
The CPS SSG is to coordinate programs, budgets, and policy recommendations for Cyber Physical Systems (CPS) research and development (R&D). This includes identifying and integrating requirements, conducting joint program planning, and developing joint strategies for the CPS R&D programs conducted by agency members of the NITRD Subcommittee.
Cyber Security and Information Assurance (CSIA)
Cyber Security and Information Assurance (CSIA) Interagency Working Group coordinates the activities of the CSIA Program Component Area.
Health IT R&D SSG
The Health Information Technology Research and Development Senior Steering Group coordinates programs, budgets and policy recommendations for Health IT R&D.
Human Computer Interaction & Information Management (HCI&IM)
HCI&IM focuses on information interaction, integration, and management research to develop and measure the performance of new technologies.
High Confidence Software & Systems (HCSS)
HCSS R&D supports development of scientific foundations and enabling software and hardware technologies for the engineering, verification and validation, assurance, and certification of complex, networked, distributed computing systems and cyber-physical systems (CPS).
High End Computing
(HEC IWG)
The HEC IWG coordinates the activities of the High End Computing (HEC) Infrastructure and Applications (I&A) and HEC Research and Development (R&D) Program Component Areas (PCAs).
Large Scale Networking
(LSN CG)
LSN members coordinate Federal agency networking R&D in leading-edge networking technologies, services, and enhanced performance.
Software Design and Productivity (SDP CG)
SDP R&D will lead to fundamental advances in concepts, methods, techniques, and tools for software design, development, and maintenance that can address the needs of Federal agencies and society.
Social, Economic, and Workforce Implications of IT and IT Workforce Development
the SEW CG coordinates the activities of the Social, Economic and Workforce Implications of Information Technology (IT) and IT Workforce Program Component Area (PCA).
Wireless Spectrum Research and Development (WSRD)
The Wireless Spectrum R&D (WSRD) Senior Steering Group (SSG) has been formed to coordinate spectrum-related research and development activities across the Federal government.

Overview

The Wireless Spectrum R&D (WSRD) Senior Steering Group (SSG) has been formed to coordinate spectrum-related research and development activities across the Federal government. The purpose is two-fold: to help coordinate and inform ongoing activities across Federal agencies; and to facilitate the identification of shortcomings in the Government’s R&D portfolio with respect to technologies that allow a more efficient use of spectrum. These activities are consistent with the guiding principles of WSRD, which are transparency, smart investment, and the solicitation of opportunities for technology transfer across and beyond the Federal government.

Scope

WSRD was formed to inventory, coordinate, and make recommendations on Federal programs to advance the goals of the June 28, 2010 Presidential Memorandum: Unleashing the Wireless Broadband Revolution, Section 3. In addition, WSRD will work with academia and the private sector to help develop priorities, encourage private investment, and develop public/private partnerships when appropriate.

Functions

Current functions and activities include

Developing an inventory of recently completed and/or ongoing wireless spectrum research and development projects in the 2006-2010 timeframe.
Completing a gap analysis of that inventory.
Consulting with academic and private sector researchers to confirm this analysis.
Developing recommendations for future research needs.

Wireless Spectrum Research & Development Senior Steering Group’s Testbed Information Portal

Wireless Spectrum Research & Development Senior Steering Group’s Testbed Information Portal.

Designed for the purposes of information exchange, it is our hope that this will prove useful for government, academic, and industry researchers in need of spectrum testing facilities.

We invite you to contribute information on testing facilities that are not currently listed, and that are available for use. Please contact wigen@nitrd.gov for more information.
