  1. EXCITED Workshop Suvrajeet Sen, DMII, ENG – CI Coordinator Workshop Feb. 28

  2. Cyberinfrastructure • “Atkins report” • A computational infrastructure integrating data, models, hardware, and software for research and education • Opening doors to new types of scientific/engineering research and education. • Promoting greater collaboration via shared resources (data, models, software, physical assets) http://www.cise.nsf.gov/sci/reports/atkins.pdf

  3. Other Reports • National Science Board Report NSB 02-190 (February 6, 2003) • John A. White, Jr. Chair • Recommends that NSF emphasize the development and deployment of an advanced CI for new research in science and engineering • Office of Management and Budget director Josh Bolten and White House Science and Technology Policy Office director John Marburger asked officials to focus their 2006 budget requests on “supercomputing and cyberinfrastructure” (Government Computer News, August 18, 2004)

  4. What will ENG Strategy Be? • Will adopt a “Systems View” • Without a “Systems View” . . . • we will build special-purpose CIs for every domain • there will be few common threads, and costs of developing and maintaining each CI will exceed our budgetary requests • Must integrate lessons learned from CIs in other fields: • GEON (Geoscience) • NEON (Ecology) • NEES (Earthquake Engineering) • NNIN (Nanotechnology) • CLEANER (Environmental Engineering)

  5. Current CI Trends • Communities are being provided access to data sets • Most data sets are outputs of simulations • Scientific communities have few experts who develop fine grained simulations • These simulations may be run on HEC platforms • Output of simulations are very large data sets that are communicated through networking • Globus, Condor and similar tools for grid computing • Tools available for large scale numerical simulation • Tools for “Teleoperations” through NEES

  6. Challenges for ENG • Applications Layer Interfaces for Sharing • Model outputs for visualization • Models, Algorithms (Need Languages) • Data from Sensors, Access to Actuators • Layer for Models and Algorithms • Simulation, Optimization, Statistical and Visualization Software • General purpose “Hooks” into FEM Packages, Matlab and access to open source algorithms • CI: CyberInfrastructure (CyberPlatforms) • Security • Tele-operation (“Hooks” to Sensors and Actuators) • Access to HEC on demand

  7. ENG Community • CI - an opportunity for “big-picture” thinking • CI - an opportunity for ENG community to coalesce • EXCITED about CI-ENG!
