Cyber-enabled Discovery and Innovation: The New NSF Initiative for Transformative Research
ABSTRACT:
The Cyber-enabled Discovery and Innovation (CDI) Program is about the advancement of science and engineering along fundamentally new pathways opened by computational thinking, through development and application of computational concepts, methods, models, algorithms, and tools. CDI is an activity that includes all NSF Directorates and programmatic Offices.
CDI projects promise outcomes of consequence to more than one field of science and engineering. Success will require collaborative efforts of researchers in mathematical, physical, social, biological, earth, computing, and engineering sciences, driving development, or creative use, of computational thinking for discovery and innovation.
