All critical infrastructures are increasingly dependent on the
information infrastructure for information management,
communications, and control functions. Protection of the critical
information infrastructure (CIIP), therefore, is of prime concern.
To help with this step, the National Academy of Engineering asked
the NRC to assess the various legal issues associated with CIIP.
These issues include incentives and disincentives for information
sharing between the public and private sectors, and the role of
FOIA and antitrust laws as a barrier or facilitator to progress.
The report also provides a preliminary analysis of the role of
criminal law, liability law, and the establishment of best
practices, in encouraging various stakeholders to secure their
computer systems and networks.

Supercomputers play a significant and growing role in a variety of
areas important to the nation. They are used to address challenging
science and technology problems. In recent years, however, progress
in supercomputing in the United States has slowed. The development
of the Earth Simulator supercomputer by Japan that the United
States could lose its competitive advantage and, more importantly,
the national competence needed to achieve national goals. In the
wake of this development, the Department of Energy asked the NRC to
assess the state of U.S. supercomputing capabilities and relevant
R&D. Subsequently, the Senate directed DOE in S. Rpt. 107-220
to ask the NRC to evaluate the Advanced Simulation and Computing
program of the National Nuclear Security Administration at DOE in
light of the development of the Earth Simulator. This report
provides an assessment of the current status of supercomputing in
the United States including a review of current demand and
technology, infrastructure and institutions, and international
activities. The report also presents a number of recommendations to
enable the United States to meet current and future needs for
capability supercomputers. Table of Contents Front Matter Executive
