  2. Definition • -- Natureworks, • New Hampshire Public Television An ecosystem is a community of living and non-living things that work together

  3. Cyberinfrastructure Ecosystem Organizations Universities, schools Government labs, agencies Research and Medical Centers Libraries, Museums Virtual Organizations Communities Scientific Instruments Large Facilities, MREFCs,telescopes Colliders, shake Tables Sensor Arrays - Ocean, environment, weather, buildings, climate. Etc Remote teaching laboratories Expertise Research and Scholarship Education Learning and Workforce Development Interoperability and operations Cyberscience Discovery Collaboration Education Data Databases, Data repositories Collections and Libraries Data Access; storage, navigation management, mining tools, curation Computational Resources Supercomputers Clouds, Grids, Clusters Visualization Compute services Data Centers Networking Campus, national, international networks Research and experimental networks End-to-end throughput Cybersecurity Software Applications, middleware Software development and support Cybersecurity: access, authorization, authentication Source: NSF Used with permission

  4. The growth of virtual organizations • Within our community, collaboration is increasingly global and VOs are found in • Physical and social sciences • Biomedical and health sciences • Liberal arts and humanities • Performing arts • The cyberinfrastructure ecosystem is global - CyberGaia

  5. Today’s talk • Two elements of the global CI • Connectivity • Collaboration tools • Which illustrate two principles • Openness • Federation

  6. Connectivity • Global connectivity is increasingly being provided by • autonomous lightpaths and • autonomous lightpath exchanges • in purpose-built topologies • that may be ephemeral • to suit the needs of data-intensive science or short-lived collaborations

  7. Connectivity • Lightpath exchanges should be open • ⇒ all connectors treated equally • engineering flexibility • usage • Provisioning by OSCARS, DRAGON, AutoBAHN, DRAC,… • Instances of Software-Defined Networking • NDDI and OS3E is another (and more general)way…

  10. Connectivity ?

  11. Connectivity We invite international partners

  12. Collaboration tools • As virtual organizations proliferate, the need for effective collaboration tools is growing • Traditionally, some VOs have developed their own tools • Sloan Sky Survey • MonaLisa in the HEP community • When disparate (actual or virtual) organizations work together, “one size fits all” does not work! • Interoperability glue and federated trust structures are the answer

  13. framework(s) workflow connectivity with R&E networks worldwide. low delay environment low jitter environment incrementally growing circles of sharing, with complex federated identity content management cloud services CaaS bulk data movement videoconferencing email Tools – real and potential • real-time collaborative idea development - brainstorming • asynchronous collaboration • note taking • white board • proposal development • document development • publication support • document sharing • experiment development • steering of computation • remote instrumentation and monitoring • simulation or experiment automation

  14. A platform for innovation Universities have a record of Internet innovation (VTC, tele-immersion, Facebook,…) Some collaboration tools are bandwidth hungry (video walls, CAVEs,…) Innovation must not be shackled by lack of bandwidth The Internet2 initiative “Platform for Innovation” aims to push 100 Gb/s into campuses

  15. Collaboration tools Source: e-IRG Innovation tends to happen when independent initiatives both co-operate and compete with each other Innovation cannot be centrally controlled Federated governance and open systems are the best breeding ground for innovation Openness, neutrality and diversity should be the guiding principles
