More on DARPA funding
In the most recent issue of Communications of the ACM, David Patterson, president of the ACM, makes his own comments on the funding shift at DARPA that we mentioned earlier in the week. He goes one better, discussing the general computer science and engineering funding picture. Among other things, he describes the phrase “very ambitious proposal” as “the kiss of death” when it appears in an NSF review and laments the dimishing funding for long-term research in industry.
