The President’s Information Technology Advisory Committee PITAC was authorized by Congress under the High-Performance Computing Act of 1991 P. L. 102-194 and the Next Generation Internet Act of 1998 P. L. 105-305 as a Federal Advisory Committee. The Committee provides the President Congress and the Federal agencies involved in networking and information technology research and development with expert independent advice on maintaining America’s preeminence in advanced information technologies including such critical elements of the national information technology infrastructure as high performance computing large-scale networking cyber security and high assurance software and systems design. As part of this assessment the PITAC reviews the Federal Networking and Information Technology Research and Development NITRD Program. Comprising leading IT experts from industry and academia the Committee helps guide the Administration’s efforts to accelerate the development and adoption of information technologies vital for American prosperity in the 21st century. Computational science is now indispensable to the solution of complex problems in every sector from traditional science and engineering domains to such key areas as national security public health and economic innovation. Advances in computing and connectivity make it possible to develop computational models and capture and analyze unprecedented amounts of experimental and observational data to address problems previously deemed intractable. Yet despite the great opportunities and needs universities and the Federal government have not effectively recognized the strategic significance of computational science in either their organizational structures or their research and educational planning. These inadequacies compromise U.S. scientific leadership economic competitiveness and national security. Universities and the Federal governments RD agencies must make coordinated fundamental structural changes that affirm the integral role of computational science in addressing the 21st century's most important problems which are predominantly multidisciplinary multi-agency multi sector and collaborative. To initiate the required transformation the Federal government in partnership with academia and industry must also create and execute a multi-decade roadmap directing coordinated advances in computational science and its applications in science and engineering disciplines. The Federal government must rebalance RD investments to create a new generation of well-engineered scalable easy-to-use software suitable for computational science that can reduce the complexity and time to solution for today's challenging scientific applications and can create accurate models and simulations that answer new questions design prototype and evaluate new hardware that can deliver larger fractions of peak hardware performance on key applications and focus on sensor- and data-intensive computational science applications in light of the explosive growth of data.
