Award Criteria
Nominations and applications are evaluated according to the following criteria:
Background
Academic researchers and information technology executives in California's higher education and research community have been in the forefront of shaping national and international computer networks since the inception of the ARPANET in the late 1960's. California's universities were among the first in the nation to deploy "next generation" communications technology in the early 1980's. They are now in the midst of planning for the next critical step in the advancement of data communications services that must be widely available before the end of this decade in order to support new modes of teaching, learning, collaboration and research.
Representatives from Stanford University, the University of California, the California State University, the California Institute of Technology, and the University of Southern California and Information Sciences Institute have articulated a common vision for the innovative use of communications technology to deliver the next generation of data communications services. Fundamental to this vision is the existence of an advanced wide area communications infrastructure serving all institutions of higher education in California and linked seamlessly with the new advanced national network infrastructure.
