CyberInfrastructure: What, Why, How, and Who's Already Doing It
| Title: | CyberInfrastructure: What, Why, How, and Who's Already Doing It (ID: EDU07166) | | Author(s): | Russ Hobby (Internet2), Diane A. Baxter (University of California, San Diego), James Kent Blackburn (California Institute of Technology), Ann West (Michigan Technological University), and Mark A. Luker (EDUCAUSE) | | Origin: | Presented at EDUCAUSE Annual Conferences (10/23/2007) | | Type: | Presentations/Speeches | | Abstract: | Modern cyberinfrastructure (CI) creates a “distributed computer” with resources dispersed in diverse geographic and administrative domains and the network providing the “backplane” for this computer. This session will present major players in research and education CI and will offer an overview of the CI Days program under way to assist campuses in planning and implementing CI. The CI Days program is being developed in coordination with EDUCAUSE, Internet2, National LambdaRail (NLR), the National Science Foundation (NSF), and the Department of Energy (DOE). The NSF’s TeraGrid and the DOE’s Open Science Grid build on advanced networking to provide leading-edge collaborative computing infrastructure, Internet2 and NLR provide the enhanced network backplane infrastructure, and the NSF’s International Research Network Connections program offers international extensions. Internet2 also develops middleware tools to enable end users to reliably access CI resources, and EDUCAUSE addresses policy and funding issues involved with implementing and operating CI. | | View this resource: | |
