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. This system does not establish a voice connection on your computer; instead, your acceptance message will have a toll-free phone number that you will be prompted to call after joining.

Daniel Stenberg shut down cURL's bug bounty after AI submissions hit 20%. Mitchell Hashimoto banned AI code from Ghostty. Steve Ruiz closed all external PRs to tldraw. Economic research shows "vibe coding" weakens the user engagement that sustains open source. As developers delegate to AI agents, documentation visits and bug reports collapse—threatening the ecosystem's viability.

Quesma has launched OTelBench, an open-source suite to benchmark OpenTelemetry pipelines and AI-driven instrumentation. It evaluates collector performance under stress while testing how accurately LLMs handle complex SRE tasks like context propagation. Initial data shows AI agents often achieve success rates below 30%, highlighting the gap between code generation and production observability.
