中间件软件在底层计算服务和特定领域的应用程序之间提供抽象层，是网络基础设施的关键组件。本文对如何在两个超级计算中心完成网络基础设施中间件开发进行了定性研究。我们的调查突出了中间件项目生命周期中的关键开发阶段。中间件开发通常作为技术人员和领域科学家之间合作的一部分进行，中间件开发人员必须平衡满足特定科学需求的压力和探索自己研发议程的愿望。我们探索开发人员如何通过将他们自己的工作与特定的领域科学项目和资金流保持一致来维持正在进行的开发轨迹。然而，我们发现，从作为特定于领域的项目中的组件到跨域有用的独立系统的关键转换对于中间件开发来说尤其具有挑战性。我们为如何更好地支持这一过渡提供了组织和国家政策方面的影响。
Middleware software, which provides an abstraction layer between low-level computational services and domain-specific applications, is a key component of cyberinfrastructure. This paper presents a qualitative study of how cyberinfrastructure middleware development is accomplished in two supercomputing centers. Our investigation highlights key development phases in the lives of middleware projects. Middleware development is typically undertaken as part of collaborations between technologists and domain scientists, and middleware developers must balance the pressure to meet specific scientific needs and the desire to explore their own R&D agendas. We explore how developers work to sustain an ongoing development trajectory by aligning their own work with particular domain science projects and funding streams. However, we find that the key transition from being a component in a domain-specific project to a stand-alone system that is useful across domains is particularly challenging for middleware development. We provide organizational and national policy implications for how to better support this transition.
