Consider the concept of a National Virtual Laboratory (NVL), concentrating on university research to enable geographically distributed researchers to share experimental results, collaborate on team research projects, and share coursework. It is envisioned that integrated research teams will share ideas, software, and students – that is, students at many locations may receive credit for NVL-based courses.
Predictor: Information Infrastructure Technology and Applications (IITA) Task Group: High-Performance Computing and Communications Information Technology Subcommittee
