The NLANR Distributed Applications Support Team is focused on supportingresearchers and research communities in the use of resources embedded withinhigh-performance networks and the middleware-based Grid environments thatdepend on those networks. This proposal sets forth a plan for the next stagefor this leading edge team, building on previous efforts and assisting inthe maturing of user communities in the use of distributed resourcesconnected by advanced networks. This includes the development and extensionof end-user and network engineer oriented tools for both high-bandwidthoptical networks and low-bandwidth wireless networks, which will be thecritical network components for advanced applications in the next severaldecades. Support functions will evolve from a focus on specificprojects to being a community support organization fostering thedevelopment, support, and growth of a global community of network engineersand network support staff working to advance networking in support of globalscience. Outreach efforts will be expanded in raising awarenessin new and emerging communities, such as those associated with major NSF MREfunding, of the dependencies these projects have with respect to networkingtechnologies.

NLANR 分布式应用程序支持团队致力于支持研究人员和研究社区使用高性能网络中嵌入的资源以及依赖于这些网络的基于中间件的网格环境。该提案为该领先团队制定了下一阶段的计划，以先前的努力为基础，并协助用户社区在使用由先进网络连接的分布式资源方面走向成熟。这包括开发和扩展面向最终用户和网络工程师的高带宽光网络和低带宽无线网络工具，这些工具将成为未来几十年高级应用的关键网络组件。支持职能将从专注于特定项目发展成为社区支持组织，促进全球网络工程师和网络支持人员社区的发展、支持和成长，致力于推进网络以支持全球科学。将扩大外展工作，提高新兴社区（例如与 NSF 主要 MRE 资助相关的社区）对这些项目对网络技术的依赖性的认识。
