Engineering Advisory Committee Cyberinfrastructure Subcommittee -- Prologue

The EAC-CI will work with the Engineering Directorate to assess opportunities and challenges in Cyberinfrastructure, aiming to promote engineering discoveries and innovations. The EAC-CI will provide advice on CI design, development, deployment, and usage, focusing on milestones, metrics, building a CI community, and more. The subcommittee will present a preliminary report and complete its final report by 2005 year-end.

  1. Engineering Advisory Committee Cyberinfrastructure Subcommittee -- Prologue Dr. Francine Berman Director, SDSC and NPACI Professor and High Performance Computing Endowed Chair, Department of Computer Science and Engineering, UC San Diego Engineering Advisory Committee

  2. The EAC-CI willwork with the Engineering Directorate's Cyberinfrastructure Working Group(CIWG) to help assess the opportunities and challenges for the Engineering Directorate in Cyberinfrastructure. The EAC-CI will provide advice on how the Engineering Directorate can contribute to the design, development, deployment, and use of Cyberinfrastructure to promote discoveries and innovations in engineering. Particular areas of discussion will include: What milestonesshould be used to measure progress of CI, and whatmetricsshould be used to assess the impact of CI on Engineering research, education, and innovation? What kinds of activities should ENG encourage to build a Cyberinfrastructure community among Engineers? EAC-CI Charge Cyberinfrastructureis the coordinated aggregate of software, hardware and other technologies, as well as human expertise, required to support current and future discoveries in science and engineering.

  3. EAC-CI Members • Francine Berman(SDSC and UCSD) (chair) • James Bernard(Iowa State University) • Cherri Pancake(Oregon State University) • Lilian Wu(IBM Corporation) • Suvrajeet SenProgram Director (OR/DMII), Chair of the Engineering CIWG, liaison with EAC-CI • What’s Expected: The subcommittee will present a preliminary report at the November 8-9, 2005 ENG Advisory Committee meeting. It will complete its report by December 31, 2005.

  4. Key Questions for ENG CIWG and EAC-CI • What types of tools and technologies are needed to enable Engineering research and education? • What is already being adequately provided by the Engineering Directorate? By other Directorates? By other agencies and community venues? • Where are the "gaps"? What is currently needed in Cyberinfrastructure to enable Engineering research and education? • What kind of research, development, deployment is needed to address the "gaps"? What might be done within the Engineering Directorate and what might be done Foundation-wide? • How could Cyberinfrastructure be used to move the discipline forward to the next generation of technology-enabled research and education? What new uses/tools/technologies should be encouraged to move ahead?

  5. Work Plan • EAC-CI will meet regularlyover the next 6 months addressing the charge • Work with ENG CIWG • Advice on CI • Formulate CI milestones and metrics of success • Formulate ideas for building ENG CI community • Preliminary report will be described at next EAC meeting
