EIA 02- 20562 Rishe，NaphtaliWongsaroj，Ben佛罗里达国际大学（FIU）和佛罗里达纪念学院（FMC）标题：MII联盟：基于网络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中的应用并在从事研究的同时留住少数民族学生。该项目使佛罗里达国际大学（FIU）和佛罗里达纪念学院（FMC）之间建立一个财团。将形成一个从FMC（一个四年制的HBCU）到FIU（一个免费的HSI）的学生管道，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。该联盟将专注于必要的研究，以加强TerraFly，一个基于网络的地理空间数据查看器，源于金融情报室的高性能数据库研究中心（HPDRC）在NSF和其他机构的赠款下进行的研究。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团体中工作。这些团体提供了一个框架，使通过采购在合作研究参与环境中的物理环境，加深对一个领域的知识。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使用和维护的人体工程学。以下具体的研究问题得到解决。有效和符合人体工程学的传播与时空数据覆盖的图像，时空数据的数据存储和查询方法，集成异构数据源，包括关系和语义数据库和网络源与空间数据，试验床应用使用地理空间数据传播航空需要。因此，所要求的基础设施将用于执行这项研究，以及在这两个机构培训学生。为了展示TerraFly的潜在应用，FMC对航空业的了解将在开发和定制测试床时得到利用。在FMC部署基础设施将使金融情报室的分布式数据库研究纳入TerraFly研究，因为FMC的学生每天都能获得所需基础设施的宝贵实践经验。

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.
