The Nature of Research Today
Discipline groups working on a common
project.
The groups are made of researchers from
multiple institutions.
They use CI in support of these Virtual
Organizations (VOs)

A New CI Driver
NSF Proposal RequirementBeginning January 18, 2011
proposals submitted to NSF must include a
Data Management Plan in the form of a two-page supplementary document
http://www.nsf.gov/bfa/dias/policy/dmp.jsp

CI in Administration
New CI tools and resources are being
integrated into administrative Information
Technology
For example, Identity Management is
needed for administrative applications as
well as in research and teaching.

Example Researcher using CI
Jane is an environmental researcher and
is going to find a solution to Global
Warming. To do this she needs to collect
and store data, do analysis of the data and
run some simulation models to test her
hypothesis. She will share ideas, data and
results with her Discipline Group. Here are
her steps in using CI

What is Under the CI Hood?
Someday you will tell a car where to go
and it will take you there
We aren’t there yet
You currently need to know that that a car
has an engine, brakes, fuel system, etc
Likewise with CI, you don’t have to know
all the details, but it is good to know about
the parts
Let’s look at what Jane uses

Researchers that use CI
There are those that have become CI
experts and create their own CI
environment
There are those that do not want to
become CI experts and want to focus on
their discipline
All researchers would like CI to be easier

Should you have to worry about the
Network?
Computers?
Storage?
Shouldn’t you just be able to use
the application?
Is Cyberinfrastructure Too Hard?

The “Cloud”
Really means “Someone else takes care of
the technology for you”
It can be provided by the commercial sector
or by the academic community.
Questions to ask about using the Cloud
Do you trust them? Can you rely on them?
Do you have an alternative if it doesn’t work out?
Can you easily transition to another service?

Russ’ CI Vision
Set of tools and resources that allow:
Computation and Storage to easily allow transition
from the desktop, to the campus resource, to the
regional center, to national super centers using the
same software.
Data repositories in formats and locations to allow
ease of sharing among all interested disciplines (the
real digital library!)
Tools to allow people to easily construct systems to
analyze, visualize and simulate their research
subjects.
Collaboration tools that allow people to work together
like they are in the same room, even if they aren’t.
