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

EIA 02-20562 Rishe，Naphtali WongSaroj，本佛罗里达国际大学(FIU)和佛罗里达纪念学院(FMC)标题：MII联盟：基于Web的地理空间数据可视化与航空应用程序数据库管理研究和培训的基础设施这项建议，促进高性能数据库管理和地理空间数据的互联网传播的研究，旨在吸引、招募和留住少数族裔学生，同时从事研究。该项目促成了佛罗里达国际大学(FIU)和佛罗里达纪念学院(FMC)之间的联盟创建。从四年制HBCU的FMC到FIU的学生管道将形成卡内基-I HSI，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。该联盟将专注于增强TerraFly所需的研究，TerraFly是一种基于网络的地理空间数据查看器，源于FIU的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和研究生、博士后和教职员工组成的亲和力小组中工作。这些小组提供了一个框架，通过在从事合作研究的环境中获取实际环境来加深对某一领域的知识。该项目增强了TerraFly的底层数据存储机制、客户-服务器交互、用户界面、覆盖额外信息层的能力以及使用和维护的人体工程学。以下是具体的研究问题：利用时空数据覆盖的有效和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，包括关系数据库和语义数据库和Web源与空间数据的异类数据源的集成，用于航空需求的地理空间数据传播的试验台应用程序。因此，所需的基础设施将用于执行这项研究，以及对这两个机构的学生进行培训。为了展示TerraFly的潜在应用，FMC在开发和定制试验台时将利用其在航空业的知识。FMC基础设施的部署将使FIU的分布式数据库研究纳入TerraFly研究，因为FMC学生每天都能获得宝贵的基础设施实践经验。

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.
