NCR Corp says that its NCR Computer Integrated Manufacturing Systems Integration Centre in Wichita, Kansas and the Kansas Technology Enterprise Corp have issued an $89,000 grant to Victor Frost, a Kansas University professor, for research at the University’s Telecommunications and Information Sciences Laboratory, in the third research project commissioned by the NCR Centre and the Kansas fund: the first project was developed from a graduate student’s summer work at NCR, and was designed to evaluate the corporation’s small computer system interface, while the second incorporated a technique for modelling local area network systems; the new one involves the development of performance prediction tools and methodologies for analysing network information systems to help NCR market its local area networking systems and integrate its products into complete networking solutions.
