Description: |
To understand the future challenges that have yet to emerge, it is important that Facebook builds a strong collaboration pipeline with key experts in academia. Therefore, Facebook is pleased to invite faculty and graduate students to respond to this year?s call for research proposals pertaining to distributed systems. We anticipate giving eight awards, each around $50,000 as an unrestricted gift to the proposer?s host university. While all proposals are welcome, we are particularly interested in those that address fundamental challenges that arise in distributed systems operating at an extremely large scale. |
