Information Technology at NASA: Accepting the Challenge of
Excellence
Kenneth Ford
NASA Ames Research Center
Abstract
Humans are quintessentially explorers and makers of things. These
traits, which identify us as a species and account for our survival,
are reflected with particular clarity in the mission and methods of
space exploration. This is an exciting time to be a computer scientist
at NASA -- our work is at the crossroads of these two human traits --
we are making computational machines to extend human reach further than
ever before. GenevaIn this talk, I will
describe the current and future research directions of NASA's expanding
information techology effort.
