The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) has provided $2.1 million for seven university research projects involving next-generation network technologies. The awards of $300,000 each are part of the Japan-United States Network Opportunity program, which is intended to help support network-connected devices as the Internet of Things explodes in growth. The research projects are expected to advance networking technologies in optical networking, mobile computing, and network design and modeling. For example, researchers at Rutgers University are working on Virtual Mobile Cloud Network for Realizing Scalable, Real-Time Cyber Physical Systems, while development of Energy-Efficient Hyper-Dense Wireless Networks With Trillions of Devices involves a team from Florida International University and the University of Miami.
