4. Cyberinfrastructure Promise • Ubiquitous, digital knowledge environments that are both interactive and functionally complete………… (Atkins report) • revolutionize the processes of discovery, learning and innovation across the science and engineering frontier.

5. Cyberinfrastructure Characteristics • Community-Focused • virtual organizations • distributed, • collaborative • Scale and Scope • Multidisciplinary • International • Supporting data- and compute-intensive applications • High-end to desktop • Heterogenuous • Common Technology & Policy Platform(s) • Interoperability • Supports characteristics above

6. Cyberinfrastructure Early Adopters • Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation (NEES) • National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) • Biomedical Informatics Research Network (BIRN) • Extensible Terascale Facility (ETF)

8. FY2003 ETF Enhancements • Solicitation to attract new resource partners (due June 9th) • Funding connection and integration • Resources may include: • Archival repositories • Digital libraries • Computational resources • Sensor networks

9. On The Path to Knowledge Community K N O W L E D G E Information Communication D A T A Cyberinfrastructure Computation Collaboration Culture

10. Domain-specific Cybertools (software) Shared Cybertools (software) Distributed Resources (computation, communicationstorage, etc.) Integrated CI Systemmeeting the needs of a community of communities • Applications • Environmental Science • High Energy Physics • Proteomics/Genomics • … DevelopmentTools & Libraries Discovery & Innovation Education and Training Grid Services & Middleware Hardware

11. Shared Cybertools(Middleware Tools and Services) Basic Services Security, Scheduling, Data Services, Database Services, User Services, Application Management Services, Autonomy and Monitoring Services, Information Services, Composition Service, Messaging Service Application Level Services People Collaboration, Resource Collaboration, Decision-Making Services, Knowledge Discovery Services, Workflow Services, Universal Access

12. Challenging Context • Institutional & Infrastructural Ecology • Technological change more rapid than institutional change • Broadening Participation • Community-Building • Seamless Integration of New and Old • Balancing upgrades of existing and creation of new resources • Legacy data/models • Providing sustainable support

13. Plan of Action • Focused, cross-cutting attention on cyberinfrastructure – not business as usual • Internal NSF planning now underway - active discussion on specific cyberinfrastructure issues • Community building - broad consultations with scientific/engineering communities is intensifying • Summer 2003 workshops and town hall meetings – management models • NSF FY05 budget planning for cyberinfrastructure underway
