Division of Information and Intelligent Systems

The U.S. National Science Foundation Division of Information and Intelligent Systems (IIS) supports research and education on the interrelated roles of people, computers and information. IIS includes three core programs as well as many interdisciplinary, crosscutting programs. **Core programs in IIS** **Human-Centered Computing** The Human-Centered Computing?(HCC) program addresses questions central to how humans work, learn and live in a world with ubiquitous computing and networks. HCC supports research to design new computing systems that amplify diverse human physical, cognitive and social capabilities to accomplish individual and collective goals. It also supports research that assesses the benefits, effects and risks of computing systems.

III projects range from formal theoretical research to those that advance data-intensive applications of scientific, engineering or societal importance.

RI systems are characterized by flexibility and resourcefulness and use of a variety of modeling or reasoning approaches, demonstrating a high level of intelligence and adaptability.
