  1. Earth Science Data Systems Technology Infusion Working Group 02/19/04

  2. Agenda • Formulation study background • Project discussion: technology sources & sinks • ESISS meeting highlights

  3. Motivation: Meeting ESE Goals Requires Tech Infusion • Science and applications drive information system capabilities • Increasing need to combine different data sources • Increased demand for near-real-time data • ESE strategy requires a new approach to technology infusion • Open distributed architecture for PI processing implies infusing technologies into 10s-100s of systems • PI - based processing! • Technology opportunities need to be exploited • E.g., grid computing, web services, NASA CAN results • Infusion of new technologies requires effort • Large data volumes and specialized technologies make infusion more than installing COTS New Research New Applications New System Capabilities Technology Infusion Technology Identification / Development Science & App Needs System Capability Vision

  4. Summary of Formulation Study Findings Improve technology infusion Deliver needed capabilities Prevent orphaned technologies Define a capability vision Focus technology infusion efforts Benefits other SEEDS work too Extend strategic technology planning processes Incorporate systems vision into the process Fund technology infusion projects

  5. Extending the Strategic Technology Planning Processes • Finding • AIST processes need to be extended for SEEDS to improve technology infusion • Recommendation • Incorporate community-based technology infusion processes modeled on OGC Interoperability Program or DoD Advanced Concept Technology Demonstration Program Tech Infusion Working Group Model Programs SEEDS Emphasis Current AIST Processes

  6. Other Findings in the Study Report • Infusion needs more emphasis • There are many technology development programs at NASA but... • Until the REASoN CAN nothing really addressed technology infusion • There are many good process models • OGC Interoperability Program • SEI Accelerating Software Technology Adoption initiative • DoD Advanced Concept Technology Demonstrations • DARPA Advanced Technology Demonstrations • NSF Software Capitalization Program • NIMA InnoVision • ESE has specific needs • Process should be community-centric

  7. Community Recommendations on Process & Strategy • Tech infusion process • Needs to consider both “technology push” and “requirements pull” • Should focus on off-setting the risk of first use • Need to focus on the role of people in the infusion process • Needs to consider operational agreements...a technology that works does not necessarily work well • Many more... • Tech infusion strategies • Operations “pull” approach: Leverage user working groups and science teams at DAACs • Policy approach: require technology developers to partner with user or get endorsement from data provider (a la CICT NRAs) • “Harden” prototypes through GGF or similar venues • Funding approach: directly fund deployment of new technology, documentation, quality assurance, support/help desk; alternatively, provide funding incentives • Many more...

  8. More Details: SEEDS Study Report • http://www.sciencedatasystems.org/seeds/wg/infusion • Working Group Documents  Background Documents  SEEDS tech infusion study report v1.1 • Section 2.2: Candidate Model Processes • Section 2.6: Notional Technology Infusion Process

  9. Technology Sources & Sinks Discussion • Where will your project get new technologies? • What other organizations/systems might utilize technologies developed by your project?
