Fingerprint Vendor Technology Evaluation (FpVTE)

Completed
The Fingerprint Vendor Technology Evaluation (FpVTE) is an independently administered technology evaluation of fingerprint matching, identification, and verification system. It has been rebranded as FRIF TE E1N.

FiPy

Ongoing
The solution of coupled sets of PDEs is ubiquitous to the numerical simulation of science problems. Numerous PDE solvers exist, using a variety of languages and numerical approaches. Many are proprietary, expensive and difficult to customize. As a result, scientists spend considerable resources...

Foundations of Measurement Science for Information Systems

Ongoing
According to the National Research Council report Network Science (2006), "[Despite] society's profound dependence on networks, fundamental knowledge about them is primitive. [G]lobal communication ... networks have quite advanced technological implementations but their behavior under stress still...

Future Computing Systems and AI

Ongoing
Electrons confined in arrays of semiconductor nanostructures, called quantum dots (QDs), are a promising quantum computing approach. Due to the ease of control of the relevant parameters, fast measurement of the spin and charge states, relatively long decoherence times, and their potential for...

Health Information Technology Usability

Completed
The Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act provides financial incentives and other support to drive the adoption and meaningful use of EHRs. A recent report funded by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), however, identified key shortcomings...

Health IT at NIST - Program Overview

Ongoing
As health IT has become a top priority around the nation, it is clear that standards and interoperability are key to the fulfillment of the goals of health IT: Higher quality and more efficient care. Seamless, secure, and private movement of data between healthcare providers and consumers without...

High Assurance Domains

Ongoing
NIST's Trustworthy Networks Program seeks to reduce systemic technical vulnerabilities in the foundation of the Internet and other critical network infrastructures. The objectives of NIST’s High Assurance Domains (HAD) project are to design, standardize and foster wide scale adoption of technologies...

High Performance Computing

Ongoing
Current HPC technology broadly consists of: Leadership systems, such as the Department of Energy INCITE systems. Production Systems, such as clusters We work on both types of systems. For example, our work on the Rheology or Flow Properties of Concrete (see pages 15-16 in the latest INCITE report)...

Human Factor Guidelines and Accessibility

Ongoing
With the aging of America, increasing prevalence of chronic disease and growing immigrant and minority populations in the U.S., there is the real potential for both unintentional traditional and digital health-care disparities. Health information technology (HIT) holds significant potential to...

Identity Credential Interoperability

Completed
As the ISO/IEC 24727 technical standard for smart cards nears completion, enabling USG identity credentials to take advantage of the standard is desirable but our federal constituency requires a better understanding of the standard itself. In order to do this, an implementation and operational...

Identity Management Systems Research & Development

Completed
This project's activities will significantly advance the identity management community's understanding of fundamental issues, and the ability to effectively implement and use identity management systems.

IDMS Standards Activities

Ongoing
This work focuses on U.S. participation on related IDM standards activities, development of standards and metrics, and related outreach. The work program for this project includes: 1. U.S. representation on the following ISO/IEC JTC 1 subcommittees: a. ISO/IEC JTC 1 SC17 b. ISO/IEC JTC 1 SC 27 c...

Image Analytics

Ongoing
The Image Analytics Project enables scientific discovery by: Understanding scientific imagery, including traditional imagery forms and sizes advanced imagery forms and sizes (including very large images) Characterizing and evaluating sensors and processors of scientific imagery, including...

IMS Visualization

Ongoing
To provide visualization tools for use by the IMS project and other network researchers to support development of fundamental metrics. NIST has a high level of visualization expertise and the vast amount of data being produced by the Fundamental Measures (IMS) project requires these types of...

Industrial Artificial Intelligence Management and Metrology (IAIMM)

Ongoing
IAIMM has identified IAI systems for decision making, planning, and control in manufacturing as a prime candidate for better Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) centered on both use and evaluation. The specific use case of multi-stage manufacturing presents a broad scope of application to...

Information Centric Networking Program

Ongoing
Today the Internet relies on content distribution network overlays and caching to deliver most of its traffic. It is not clear that this architecture can continue to scale to meet data projections of the next decade and beyond. Current research in information-centric networking proposes a new...

Integrated CMOS Testbeds for Nanoelectronics and Machine Learning

Ongoing
The increasingly complex device requirements for next-generation computing architectures such as neuromorphic computing or nanoelectronic machine learning accelerators present challenges for researchers across the spectrum of institutions, from small businesses and universities to government...
