This project from an MSI, developing reliable software in a collaborative setting, requests infrastructure to:Create reliable and maintainable software that connects and disseminates geoscience data sets to the Earth Science community through the GEON grid.Develop, apply, and disseminate techniques aimed at improving the integrity and reliability of software and data, andEducate and train software engineers, particularly those from underrepresented populations who are able to join the workforce and contribute to multidisciplinary projects.The project involves a network, containing two servers and a set of workstations. The first server contains the testbed data necessary for the development and verification of software to transfer and process geospatial data from disparate sources. The second server provides the computing throughput necessary to process large data sets and serves as the backbone of the experimental node on the GEON grid. The equipment supports development of the Geospatial Network (GeoNet) and a toolset for data validation, analysis, and visualization. The lab will also house an experimental node on the GEON Grid.SMART Board Interactive Whiteboards with multicolor and touch-sensitive drawing tools are also requested. These boards interface easily with software available to collaborators and facilitate distance collaborations. The project targets the instrumentation of the Collaborative Affinity Research Laboratory (CARL), providing a collaborative environment that is configurable, and that supports local, remote, synchronous, and asynchronous collaborations. The university will continue using the infrastructure to enhance diversity utilizing their Affinity Research model. Thus, students will benefit.

该项目来自MSI，在协作环境中开发可靠的软件，要求基础设施：创建可靠的和可维护的软件，通过GEON网格将地球科学数据集连接和传播到地球科学界;开发、应用和传播旨在提高软件和数据的完整性和可靠性的技术;教育和培训软件工程师，特别是那些来自代表性不足的人群的软件工程师，他们能够加入劳动力队伍并为多学科项目做出贡献。第一个服务器载有开发和验证软件所需的试验台数据，以传输和处理来自不同来源的地理空间数据。第二台服务器提供处理大型数据集所需的计算吞吐量，并作为GEON网格上实验节点的骨干。该设备支持开发地理空间网络（GeoNet）和数据验证、分析和可视化工具集。该实验室还将在GEON网格上设置一个实验节点。还需要带有触摸屏和触摸感应绘图工具的智能板交互式白板。 这些电路板可以轻松地与协作者可用的软件连接，并促进远程协作。该项目的目标是协作亲和研究实验室（CARL）的仪器，提供一个可配置的协作环境，支持本地，远程，同步和异步协作。该大学将继续利用基础设施，利用其亲和研究模型来增强多样性。学生将从中受益。
