Associate Professor Elizabeth Jessup
was recently elected to the
National Science Foundation's
CISE
Advisory Committee. CISE, the Directorate for Computer and Information Science
and Engineering, has three goals:
to enable the U.S. to uphold a position of world leadership in computing, communications, and information science and engineering to promote understanding of the principles and uses of advanced computing, communications and information systems in service to society to contribute to universal, transparent and affordable participation in an information-based society
The CISE Advisory Committee supplements NSF knowledge by providing up-to-date
information on the state of the field, performing specialized policy-informing
functions facilitating the Foundation's response to rapid changes in the CISE
subdisciplines and the balance between them, and to identify situations
requiring policy attention. More specifically, the Advisory Committee provides
advice on the impact of NSF support policies and programs on the CISE community;
provides oversight on program management and performance; and provides advice
to the CISE Assistant Director on special issues, forming ad hoc subcommittees
to carry out needed studies as necessary.
Jessup was elected to a two-year term which begins July 1, 2004.
