  1. Network Workbench Katy Börner Bruce Herr Information Visualization Lab and Cyberinfrastructure for Network Science Center SLIS, Indiana University, IUB Talk at NetSci 2006

  2. Network Workbench NWB is a cyberinfrastructure for network scientists that promotes, tracks, enables, and teaches about network science.

  3. Network Workbench • Vital Information: • Funded by a 3-year $1.1 million NSF grant • Established to create a cyberinfrastructure for network scientists • PIs are Katy Börner, Albert-László Barabási, Santiago Schnell, Alessandro Vespignani, Stanley Wasserman, and Eric Wernert • Targeting network science researchers, practitioners, and students Supported in part by the NSF IIS-0513650 award.

  4. Network Workbench • Software Team: • Team Lead: Weixia (Bonnie) Huang • Developer: Ben Markines • Developer: Bruce Herr • Algorithm Developer: Santo Fortunato • Algorithm Developer: Cesar Hidalgo

  5. Network Workbench • Parts of the Network Workbench cyberinfrastructure • Data • Access to diverse datasets • Software • NWB Research Tool – A flexible large-scale analysis, • modeling, and visualization toolkit • SciMaps – Knowledge domain visualizations • Bioinformatics education & research portal • Resources • Learning environment for new and future network science students • Papers • Index of current papers in network science • More to come…

  6. Network Workbench • NWB Research Tool: • Built with the CIShell – a Plug-in based • Software Framework • Eclipse RCP-based framework • An empty shell for integration of diverse • plug-ins • NWB core will be tested for biomedical, • scientometrics, and physics research • Will be runnable over the web, on the desktop, • and on the desktop with a back-end server

  7. CIShell Architecture

  8. Network Workbench Demo NWB Research Tool

  9. Network Workbench • Summer Improvements and Future: • Move plugin architecture to OSGi-based service architecture. • OSGi (Open Services Gateway Initiative) is an industry standard • for 7 years now with an active standards board. • Alliance members include IBM (Eclipse), Sun, Intel, • Oracle, Motorola, NEC and many others. • An algorithm/plug-in will then be a service that can be used • in any OSGi-framework based system. • Connecting running frameworks over RPC/RMI will be greatly • simplified, enabling peer-to-peer sharing of data, algorithms, • and computing power. • CIShell could become a standard for creating OSGi Services for • algorithms and will provide a reference GUI that uses the • underlying services.
