CISE invites you to attend an information meeting and webinar to announce and answer questions concerning its recently released solicitation, Future Internet Architecture-Next Phase (FIA-NP: NSF 13-538) on Monday, February 11, 2013, 1:00 PM to 2:30 PM EDT. You must register at https://mmancusa.webex.com/mmancusa/j.php?ED=200243927&RG=1&... to participate.
CISE plans to support research that builds upon its current investments in Future Internet Architectures (FIA) with the Future Internet Architecture-Next Phase (FIA-NP) solicitation. Proposals are expected to specify research activities that will take existing FIA designs from basic components that have been integrated into early prototypes that demonstrate architectural principles and requirements to more sophisticated architectures with demonstrated prototype systems.
The FIA-NP information meeting will be held February 11, 2013, 1:00PM - 2:30PM EST (10:00 - 11:30 PST)
You may attend the informational meeting either on site or via live webinar.
On site: Please come to room 110 at the National Science Foundation, 4201 Wilson Blvd., Arlington, VA. No badges are needed to attend on site.
Live Webinar: Please register to attend the informational meeting via webinar using the link provided below. After your registration is accepted, you will get an email with a URL to join the meeting. Please be sure to join a few minutes before the start of the webinar.

AWS recently announced Amazon ECS Managed Instances, a new feature in ECS designed to simplify the deployment of containerized applications on EC2 instances. The service automatically manages instance provisioning, scaling, and maintenance, thereby reducing the operational overhead associated with maintaining container infrastructure.
By Renato LosioAnthropic's Claude Sonnet 4.5, its most advanced coding model, excels in task performance and safety, achieving a 98.7% safety score and improving real-world coding capabilities. Enhanced reasoning skills allow for sustained multi-step tasks, with notable user gains reported. This drop-in replacement demonstrates a powerful balance of capability and security for users.
By Hien LuuPlanetScale has announced the general availability of its managed sharded Postgres service, built for performance and reliability on AWS or Google Cloud. The launch extends PlanetScale's offerings to PostgreSQL users, adding to the company's existing popular MySQL-based platform built on top of Vitess.
By Renato LosioGoogle DeepMind has introduced CodeMender, a new AI-driven agent designed to detect, fix, and secure software vulnerabilities automatically. The project builds on recent advances in reasoning models and program analysis, aiming to reduce the time developers spend identifying and patching security issues.
By Robert KrzaczyńskiStephen Batifol discusses building and optimizing self-hosted, multimodal RAG systems. He breaks down vector search, nearest neighbor indexes (FLAT, IVF, HNSW), and the critical role of choosing the right embedding model. He then explains vLLM inference optimization (paged attention, quantization) and uses Mistral's Pixtral to detail multimodal large language model architecture.
