MII: Infrastructure for Research and Training in Database Management for Web-based Geospatial Data Visualization with Applications to Aviation

rishe, NaphtaliWongsaroj， BenFlorida国际大学（FIU）和Florida Memorial College （FMC）题目：MII联盟：基于web的地理空间数据可视化数据库管理研究和培训基础设施及其在航空领域的应用。该提案旨在促进高性能数据库管理和地理空间数据互联网传播的研究，旨在吸引、招募和留住少数民族学生，同时让他们参与研究。该项目使佛罗里达国际大学（FIU）和佛罗里达纪念学院（FMC）之间建立了一个联盟。从四年制HBCU FMC到卡内基i级HSI FIU的学生将形成一个管道，鼓励FMC的学生和其他人进入FIU的计算机科学硕士或博士课程。该联盟将专注于加强TerraFly的必要研究，TerraFly是一种基于网络的地理空间数据查看器，源于FIU高性能数据库研究中心（HPDRC）在NSF和其他机构的资助下进行的研究。研究人员将在由本科生、研究生、博士后和教职员工组成的亲和小组中工作。这些小组提供了一个框架，通过在一个合作研究参与的环境中获得一个物理环境，使加深对一个领域的知识成为可能。该项目增强了TerraFly的底层数据存储机制、客户端-服务器交互、用户界面、覆盖额外信息层的能力，以及其使用和维护的人体工程学。以下是具体的研究问题。基于时空数据叠加的高效且符合人体工程学的图像传播、时空数据的数据存储和查询方法、异构数据源（包括关系数据库和语义数据库以及web数据源）与空间数据的集成、利用地理空间数据传播满足航空需求的试验台应用。因此，所要求的基础设施将用于进行这项研究，并在这两个机构培训学生。随着测试平台的开发和定制，FMC在航空工业方面的知识将被充分利用，展示了TerraFly的潜在应用。FMC基础设施的部署将使FIU的分布式数据库研究能够融入到TerraFly研究中，因为FMC学生每天都能获得宝贵的实践经验。

EIA 02-20562Rishe, NaphtaliWongsaroj, BenFlorida International University (FIU) and Florida Memorial College (FMC) Title: MII Consortium: Infrastructure for Research and Training in Database Management for Web-based Geospatial Data Visualization with Applications to Aviation This proposal, facilitating research on high-performance database management and Internet dissemination of geospatial data, aims at attracting, recruiting, and retaining minority students while engaging these in research. The project enables the creation of a consortium between Florida International University (FIU) and Florida Memorial College (FMC). A pipeline of students from FMC, a four year HBCU, to FIU, a Carnegie-I HSI will be formed, encouraging FMC's students and others to enter FIU's masters or doctoral program in computer science. The consortium will focus on research necessary to enhance TerraFly, a web-based geospatial data viewer stemming from research performed at FIU's High Performance Database Research Center (HPDRC) under grants from NSF and other agencies. Researchers will work in Affinity Groups that consist of undergraduate and graduate students, post-docs, and faculty members. These groups provide the framework that enables deepening knowledge of a field by procuring a physical setting in a cooperative research-engaging environment. The project enhances TerraFly's underlying data storage mechanism, client-server interaction, user interface, its ability to overlay additional information layers, and its ergonomics of use and maintenance. The following specific research issues are addressed.Efficient and ergonomic dissemination of imagery with spatio-temporal data overlays, Data storage and querying methods for spatio-temporal data, Integration of heterogeneous data sources including relational and semantic databases and web sources with the spatial data, Testbed applications using geospatial data dissemination for aviation needs.Thus, the requested infrastructure will be used to perform this research, as well as the training of students at both institutions. Showing TerraFly's potential applications, FMC's knowledge of the aviation industry will be leveraged as the test beds are developed and tailored. The deployment of infrastructure at FMC will enable FIU's distributed database research to be incorporated into TerraFly research, as FMC students gain valuable hands-on experience with the requested infrastructure on a daily basis.
