  1. Technology Infusion Working Group Earth Science Data System Working Group on Technology Infusion Co-Chairs Karen Moe, NASA/ESTO, Karen.Moe@gsfc.nasa.gov Rob Raskin, NASA/JPL, Raskin@jpl.nasa.gov

  2. Purpose • Deliver needed capabilities • Need to support science goals with faster & better models, near-real-time data, easier data fusion • Prevent orphaned technologies • Some promising technologies don’t make it from prototype to operations

  3. Peer Review & Competitive Selection Technology Development Technology Infusion Solicitation Formulation Operational Systems Capability Needs Capability Vision Identified Gaps Technology Roadmaps Technology Projections Approach • Define community processes to enhance technology infusion • Define a capability vision to guide technology infusion efforts

  4. Progress • Identified infusion barriers & strategies • Identified key capabilities envisioned for future systems • Infusion Strategies • Technical • Harden prototypes through testbeds • Facilitate experimentation through Web-accessible services • Promote open standards and open source solutions • Informational & Sociological • Focus on key emerging technologies • Clarify return on investment for key technologies • Participate in early deployments • Promote partnering between scientists and technologists • Financial & Policy • Fund initial deployments and user support • Develop ROI and funding models for new technology deployments • Promote appropriate data rights policies

  5. Additional Infusion Strategies:Management Theme • Seek to closely coordinate DSWG and Federation activities; encourage active participation in WG • Work with NASA management to focus resources on the maturation of technology (to ready new technology for infusion) • Support technology fusion activities (similar technology funded to work together to leverage what they have in common and exploit unique contributions – e.g. web services) • Promote openness of standards • Implement standards that have been adopted or recommended and APIs • Specify interoperability requirements (e.g. SOAP) in solicitations to enable infusion • Provide funding to operational data distribution centers to adopt and deploy new technologies to improve usability; increase funding for technology maturation Recommendation Legend: Italics/ESIP Fed, Bold/NASA, Underline/both

  6. Additional Infusion Strategies:Education Theme • Increase activities to support ESIP member education and foster cross communication • Opportunity Fair • Promote ‘shirt-sleeve’ workshop forums, e.g. offer an XML Workshop for scientists, so that SOAP is more understandable • More active and more effective education and outreach to improve awareness of new technologies and what they can do • Develop an on-line bulletin board populated with a matrix identifying existing tools, features supported, developer comments/lessons learned (e.g. regarding data formats) • Establish an Ask Dr. ITScience service to match solutions to problems • Establish conference and/or journal for Earth System Science Informatics • Encourage significantly more IT education in Science degree programs (similar to how math is emphasized) • Develop tailored technology project templates for new developers of value-added data products & services based on satellite data (for specific applications), e.g. • Checklist for things to consider when using remote sensing data • Streamlined installation and configuration procedures • Authoring systems

  7. Next Steps • Consolidate and disseminate technology infusion strategies • Incorporate results from yesterday’s breakout session • Help organizations and projects pursue successful strategies • Complete and disseminate capability vision • Ensure strong linkage of capabilities to science goals • Identify key technologies for each capability theme • Create interactive video to share the vision

  8. Tech Infusion WG Information • Working group home page • http://lennier.gsfc.nasa.gov/seeds/WG/TI • Working group collaboration site • http://www.sciencedatasystems.org/seeds/wg/infusion/ • Working group telecons • Thursdays 4:00 pm Eastern • Dial in: 888-677-7890 Passcode: 82333 • Working group co-chairs • Karen Moe: Karen.Moe@gsfc.nasa.gov • Rob Raskin: Raskin@jpl.nasa.gov • Next all-hands meeting of ESWG working groups • October 18-19, Greenbelt, MD
