With the incorporation of IITA activities, the HPCC Program will advance intelligent system interfaces, real environments augmented with virtual environments, image understanding, language and speech understanding, intelligent agents aiding humans “in the loop,” and next-generation data and object bases for electronic libraries and commerce.
Predictor: Information Infrastructure Technology and Applications (IITA) Task Group: High-Performance Computing and Communications Information Technology Subcommittee
Prediction, in context:In a final draft of their Dec. 1, 1993 recommendations for the National Information Infrastructure, members of the High-Performance Computing Communications [HPCC] and Information Technology subcommittee write the following: ”With the incorporation of IITA activities, the HPCC Program will advance intelligent system interfaces, real environments augmented with virtual environments, image understanding, language and speech understanding, intelligent agents aiding humans ‘in the loop,’ and next-generation data and object bases for electronic libraries and commerce. This will be coupled with a vigorous program of testbed experimentation that will ensure the continued leadership of the United States in critical information-processing technologies. IITA efforts are designed to strengthen the HPCC technology base, broaden the markets for these technologies, and accelerate industry development of the NII. Federal HPCC agencies will work closely with industry and academia in pursuit of these objectives. This will be accomplished in part by accelerating the development of readily-accessible, widely used, large-scale applications with significant economic and social benefit.”
