Global Cyberinfrastructure Inventory System

GLOCIS is a web-accessible database and GIS mapping system for visualization of global cyberinfrastructure resources such as network circuits, measurement infrastructure, and major scientific facilities. It provides editing capabilities for projects and resources and allows date-stamped reporting and mapping.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Global Cyberinfrastructure Inventory System • (GLOCIS)

  2. GLOCIS • A web-accessible database of cyberinfrastructure resources • network circuits • measurement infrastructure • major scientific facilities/instrumentation • computing facilities, etc. • A GIS mapping system to assist in visualization of state of global resources

  3. GLOCIS Access • Project/Resource Editing System • http://www.gloriad.org/cgi-bin/gloci/updates/editresource • (need username of irnc and password of 5tops) • GIS/Mapping System • http://www.gloriad.org/cgi-bin/gloci/maps/gen.mapit.cgi

  4. Project/Resource Editing System • All editing via web-based forms • Applications exist for adding/editing: • Projects (ex: TransLight, GLORIAD, AMP, LHC, GEANT, NLR, Abilene, etc.) • Resources (ex: network circuits, measurement boxes, science facilities, instrumentation, computational facilities, etc.) • Supplemental files for user authentication, carriers, locations/facilities, mapping regions, resource owners, etc. • All information is “date-stamped” enabling reporting/mapping for different time periods

  5. Project Listing Add new project Edit existing resource

  6. Project Edit Password required for editing: irnc/5tops

  7. New Project Add Password required for editing: irnc/5tops Select Color for default mapping (for example, for network circuits)

  8. Resource Listing for a Selected Project Add new resource Edit existing resource

  9. Resource Edit - Page 1 Password required for editing: irnc/5tops

  10. Resource Edit - Page 2 Password required for editing: irnc/5tops

  11. GLOCIS Mapping System Choose Projects from which to map resources (circuits, etc.) Date resources are operational Center of Map Size of Map (8 - 30 inches) Map Projection - select one

  12. GLOCIS Mapping System Color Scheme

  13. GLOCIS Mapping System Choose region of Map - example: entire world, US, North America, Europe, US-Asia, Russia, etc. It is very simple to set up new regions in regions database (for ex: Korea, California, US East Coast, Netherlands, etc.) Select to draw national and state boundaries. Select to draw rivers Detail shown on maps Select to draw lat/long lines on map Click to generate map

  19. Other Maps, Projections, Color Schemes • Mercator Projection • Asia Map • Hong Kong as Center • Blue-Gray Color • Intermed detail

  20. Other Maps, Projections, Color Schemes • January 1, 2006 • Mercator Projection • North America • Map US States • Intermed detail

  21. Other Maps, Projections, Color Schemes • Included report from last slide • January 1, 2006

  22. Other Maps, Projections, Color Schemes • Mercator Projection • Europe • Amsterdam as Center • Black-Gray Color • Intermed detail

  23. Other Maps, Projections, Color Schemes • Mercator Projection • Russia Map • Novosibirsk as Center • Green-Blue Colors • Intermediate detail • May 1, 2005 (will be useful to plot entire Russian R&E network infrastructure)

  24. Other Maps, Projections, Color Schemes • Lambert Hemisphere Projection • Novosibirsk as Center • Hong Kong as Center • Low detail • January 1, 2006

  25. Other Maps, Projections, Color Schemes • Mercator Projection • US-Europe • Amsterdam as Center • Map US States • Low detail

  26. Other Maps, Projections, Color Schemes • WHREN Only • Miller Cylindrical Projection • Latin America Map • Miami as Center • Map American States • Low detail

  27. Other Maps, Projections, Color Schemes • Mercator Projection • US Map • Chicago as Center • Map US States • Low detail • 2005 - May 1

  28. Other Maps, Projections, Color Schemes • Mercator Projection • US Map • Chicago as Center • Map US States • Low detail • 2006 - May 1

  29. Technology Used • All Public Domain Tools • Running on Apple XServer G5, running Mac OSX 10.3 • Mapping Tools from NSF-Supported Generic Mapping Tools (GMT) • Other tools: MySQL, Perl, DBI/mysql, ImageMagick, other F&P-developed software

  30. Summary • Prototype system available for testing, further development • It is a rough prototype - potentially useful for motivating discussion on a shared, globally accessible, useful inventory and GIS tool for tracking and planning cyberinfrastructure deployment • Effort planned during summer 2005 to migrate to Java/Flash-based application

  31. Summary • Need to add map legend and circuit/arc labels • Working on incorporating “living earth” data so that images are better “colored” (with real satellite imagery data) • Need better method of adjusting arc “angles” (currently, can add intermediate plot points to change arc paths)

  32. Summary • Need to get other people, projects, organizations involved in testing, supplying data (for example, all GLORIAD domestic R&E networks, NLR, GEANT, etc.), improving data model • Need to adequately represent broader cyberinfrastructure components (not just networks) – currently working, for example, to add all AMP measurement boxes deployed across the globe
