This Supplement to the President’s Budget for Fiscal Year (FY) 2004 summarizes the NITRD agencies’ coordinated research activities and FY 2004 plans, as required by the High-Performance Computing Act of 1991. The FY 2004 Supplement, also known as the Blue
Book, focuses in particular on the critical role of fundamental IT research in providing advanced foundations for innovation in every dimension of the national interest. Networking and computing technologies are often called “enabling” technologies because their utility – and
broader significance – are realized in the human advances and capabilities they make possible. It is these advances that are the focus of the report’s main sections – Foundations for National Security, Foundations for Scientific Leadership, Foundations for Research and
Learning, and Foundations for 21st Century Society. The broad-based impacts of the NITRD Program cited in this document represent achievements not only of the NITRD research community, but also of other Federal programs, public-private partnerships, and the private
sector. The FY 2004 Blue Book places Federal NITRD research in its context as a strategic national resource, which provides the essential technological underpinning for far-reaching innovations that will influence the Nation’s development over the course of the 21st
century. Condition: Very good / In a plastic case.
