CISE Research Infrastructure: CAVERN: The CAVE Research

伊利诺伊大学研究基础设施：洞穴：CAVE研究UIC的研究目标是将远程沉浸和数据挖掘从实验室转移到下一代互联网。科学家们刚刚开始接入高速网络，从远程数据集中(无论是大型磁盘场、科学仪器还是卫星)检索信息，使用远程超级计算机分析这些信息，并使用虚拟现实(VR)与远程同事合作。UIC已在选定的用户社区推广虚拟现实和数据挖掘，现在希望创建团队、工具、硬件、系统软件和人机界面模型，以实现全国性、多地点的协作，以促进国家挑战和重大挑战问题的解决方案。计划的洞穴研究网络(CAVEN)活动有两个方面：支持技术开发和应用驱动支持。这项提案列出了几个应用学科--计算科学和工程、教育和培训以及每个公民接口(ECI)，重点是残疾人的康复--以推动远程沉浸和数据挖掘工具和技术的发展。支持远程沉浸和数据挖掘的技术包括CAVERNsoft、ECI接口、数据挖掘工具、视频和性能优化。

EIA-9802090 Defanti, Thomas A.University of IllinoisCISE Research Infrastructure: CAVERN: The CAVE ResearchUIC's research goal is to move Tele-Immersion and Data Mining from the laboratory to the Next Generation Internet. Scientists are just now beginning to get access to high-speed networks to retrieve information from remote datasets (whether large disk farms, scientific instrumentation, or satellites), analyze that information using remote supercomputers, and use virtual reality (VR) to collaborate with distant colleagues. UIC has promoted VR and data mining in select communities of users, and now wishes to create the teams, tools, hardware, system software, and human-interface models to enable national-scale, multi-site collaborations to facilitate solutions to National Challenge and Grand Challenge problems.Planned CAVE Research Network (CAVERN) activities are twofold: enabling technology development and application driver support. This proposal lays out several application disciplines- - computational science and engineering, education and training, and every citizen interfaces (ECI) with emphasis on rehabilitation for the disabled - - to drive the development of the tools and techniques for tele-immersion and data mining. Enabling technologies for tele-immersion and data mining include CAVERNsoft, ECI interfaces, data mining tools, video, and performance optimization.
