The Directorate for Engineering at the National Science Foundation has established a strong focus forstudy concerning future investments in Cyberinfrastructure that may be made by the Foundation. Inside ofthe Engineering Directorate, the Cyberinfrastructure Working Group has completed a portfolio assessmentof research and education awards, and is now arranging for a series of workshops that explore theopportunities for supporting the development of a national Cyberinfrastructure, and for leveraging theseinvestments and partnering with the academic, government and industry sectors. While the first twoworkshops organized and held at the NSF in Arlington in June 5-6, 2003 and January 13-14, 2004 took avery broad, i.e. horizontal, look at the Cyberinfrastructure initiative to scope out the critical issues thatneed to be addressed during the development of Cyberinfrastructure, this third workshop is poised tofollow some of the leads generated by the earlier workshops and to concentrate on the need to develop astrategy that permits and entices the involvement of the entire engineering community, by identifying keychallenges in cyberengineering/cyberinfrastructre research.In order to facilitate the organization of the 3 rd Workshop, NSF has invited 7 individuals from theengineering community to serve on the organizing committee, OC. These areDr. Massoud Amin, U. of Minnesota, Twin Cities (ECS rep.)Dr. Shirley Dyke, Washington University (CMS rep.)Dr. Jim Rawlings, University of Wisconsin (CTS rep.)Dr. Ming Lin, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill (DMII rep.)Dr. Ulrich Neumann, University of Southern California (EEC rep.)Dr. Michael Piasecki, Drexel University (BES rep. & proposal lead)Dr. Bill Spencer, U. of Illinois, Urbana Champaign (CMS rep.)DeliverablesEach of the workshop breakout groups will be asked to summarize the findings of their respective task.These findings, together with the Personal Points of Views, PPVs, and the 3 page research ideasubmissions of the selected presenters will be compiled into a final workshop report by the OC that will besubmitted to NSF. More specifically the deliverables will contain:Report of the Workshop as a reference material for the ENG communityDevelopment of material for posting on the websiteA set of recommendations for developing Divisional level workshops sessionsA camera ready copy for the printing of the proceedings.To this end, the OC will establish a NSF Engineering Cyberinfrastructure Workshop III website (to behosted on one of the servers in Dr. Piasecki's computer lab) that will announce the workshop, postrelevant information concerning the workshop schedule and agenda including the participant list, andprovide information for hotels, travel, and directions to the Drexel campus in general and the meetingvenues in particular. In addition to the site hosting the final workshop report, it will also be used to post thepresentations as well as position statements or personal point of views (PPVs) from each attendee thatshould be submitted prior to the start of the workshop.Broader ImpactThe broader impact of this workshop lies in its scope, i.e. the attempt to identify research opportunities incyberengineering and cyberinfrastructure development. Recognition of the opportunity to conductcyberengineering/cyberinfrastructure research is very much linked to the necessity to achieve a broadacceptance in the engineering communities, i.e. the willingness of these communities to embrace aconcept that is open to all and not restricted to a few domain experts that have a high developed interestin making use of cross-disciplinary ideas involving computer science and engineering. This workshop isalso focused on identifying idlow hanging fruitsly that can be harvested by many in the community withouthaving to become cyberinfrastructure experts, i.e. having to crosswalk into the computer science domain.The presentation of research ideas and development drivers should provide a good overview what are thekey areas of cross-cutting cyberinfrastructure that is important to the engineering communities, and whatthe scope of the initiative is. This must be understood as a precursor to entice the community to furthereducate itself and attempt to embrace these new concepts.

美国国家科学基金会的工程理事会已经建立了一个强有力的重点研究，涉及该基金会可能对网络基础设施进行的未来投资。在工程局内部，网络基础设施工作组已经完成了对研究和教育奖项的组合评估，现在正在安排一系列研讨会，探讨支持国家网络基础设施发展的机会，以及利用这些投资和与学术，政府和工业部门合作的机会。2003年6月5日至6日和2004年1月13日至14日在阿灵顿的NSF组织和举行的前两次研讨会对网络基础设施倡议进行了非常广泛的（即横向的）考察，以确定网络基础设施发展期间需要解决的关键问题，第三次研讨会准备遵循前几次研讨会产生的一些线索，并集中讨论制定一项允许和吸引整个工程界参与的战略的必要性，为了促进第三届研讨会的组织，NSF邀请了7位来自工程界的人士加入组织委员会OC。这些是博士。Massoud Amin，U.明尼苏达州，双子城（ECS代表）Shirley Dyke博士，华盛顿大学（CMS代表）Jim Rawlings博士，威斯康星州大学（CTS代表）林明博士，北卡罗来纳州大学，查佩尔山（DMII代表）Ulrich Neumann博士，南加州大学（EEC代表）迈克尔Piasecki博士，德雷克塞尔大学（BES代表提案负责人）比尔斯宾塞博士，美国。的伊利诺伊州，厄巴纳尚潘（CMS代表）每个研讨会分组将被要求总结各自任务的结果。这些结果，连同个人观点，PPV和选定演讲者提交的3页研究想法，将由OC汇编成最终研讨会报告，并提交给NSF。更具体地说，可交付成果将包括：研讨会报告，作为ENG社区的参考材料开发用于网站发布的材料开发一套用于开发分部级研讨会会议的建议一份用于打印会议记录的照相机准备副本。为此，OC将建立NSF工程网络基础设施研讨会III网站（托管在Piasecki博士计算机实验室的一台服务器上），该网站将宣布研讨会，有关研讨会时间表和议程的相关信息，包括与会者名单，并提供酒店，旅行和前往Drexel校园的一般信息，特别是会议地点。除了在网站上发布研讨会的最终报告外，它还将用于发布研讨会开始前每位与会者应提交的演讲、立场陈述或个人观点（PPV）。更广泛的影响本次研讨会的更广泛的影响在于其范围，即试图确定网络工程和网络基础设施发展方面的研究机会。对进行网络工程/网络基础设施研究的机会的认识与在工程界实现广泛接受的必要性密切相关，即这些社区愿意接受对所有人开放的概念，而不仅仅限于少数领域专家，这些专家对利用涉及计算机科学和工程的跨学科思想具有高度的兴趣。本次研讨会的重点也是确定闲置的成果，可以收获的许多在社区中，而不必成为网络基础设施的专家，即必须crosswalk到计算机科学领域。研究思路和发展驱动力的介绍应该提供一个很好的概述什么是跨领域的网络基础设施的关键领域，这是重要的工程社区，以及什么是倡议的范围。这必须被理解为一个先导，以吸引社区进一步教育自己，并试图接受这些新的概念。
