12. Characteristics should speak to policy and decision makers, conveying a sense of the exciting opportunities and broad societal benefits of NIT R&D; must embrace and support the individual strategic plans of the NITRD agencies; and should present a compelling vision articulated through a small number of broad themes The Strategic Plan:

13. Strategic Plan Framework We Compute e 4 Life Trust and Confidence Cyber Capable

14. Education and training to ensure that current generations benefit fully from cyber capabilities and to inspire a diverse, next-generation workforce of cyber innovators.

15. Global Classroom

17. Computational Thinking Conceptualizing, not programming Fundamental, not rote skill A way that humans, not computers, think Complements and combines mathematical and engineering Ideas, not artifacts For everyone, everywhere Source: J. Wing, Communications of the ACM Vol. 49, No. 3

18. Trust and Confidence Ensure the value to society of cyber systems is not limited by a lack of trust and confidence; assure that data and resources can be reliably used for their intended purposes.

20. The National Cyber Range will allow classified and unclassified researchers to measure their progress … …in either a classified or unclassified environment, …against appropriate threats with sufficient timeliness and accuracy, …to allow corrections and needed new capabilities to be determined.

21. The National Cyber Range will Provide a dedicated test bed to produce qualitative and quantitative assessments of the security of cyber technologies and scenarios. Provide a revolutionary, safe, instrumented environment for our national cyber security research organizations to test the security of information systems. Revolutionize the state of the art of cyber security testing.

22. We Compute Harness new levels of intelligence, intuition and awareness emerging as greater than the sum of the parts in the union of cyber, human, and social capabilities
