SGER: Cyberinfrastructure Design for NEON

摘要国家生态观测网络(NEON)等国家规模的环境观测系统将通过提供对关键生物和化学过程的连续测量来改变环境科学。从这些测量中得出的见解将为有关气候变化、生物多样性、入侵物种以及水和空气质量等重要主题的理论和政策提供参考。霓虹灯将提供分布在大陆的研究基础设施，通过网络基础设施联网，形成一个国家研究平台。霓虹灯国家主干的一个基本组成部分是一套紧密集成的传感系统(即。塔楼和水平分布的无线传感器网络)依赖于嵌入式网络基础设施。嵌入的网络基础设施将通过数据中心服务器的入网点(POP)节点连接到互联网主干。这一基础研究系统将作为霓虹灯的主要主干在美国复制。该网络基础设施的最终设计对霓虹灯的最终设计和建设至关重要。从来没有构建过这样的网络基础设施网络，而且设计新颖且未经测试。

AbstractNational-scale environmental observing systems, such as the National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON), will transform environmental science by providing continuous measurements of key biological and chemical processes. Insights derived from these measurements will inform theory and policy on important topics including climate change, biodiversity, invasive species, and water and air quality. NEON will provide continentally distributed research infrastructure networked via cyberinfrastructure into a national research platform. A fundamental component of the NEON national backbone is a tightly integrated set of sensing systems (ie. towers and horizontally distributed wireless sensor networks) reliant on embedded cyberinfrastructure. The embedded cyberinfrastructure will be connected to an internet backbone via a "point of presence (POP) node to a data center server. This fundamental research system will be replicated across the US as the primary backbone of NEON. The final design for this cyberinfrastructure is vital to the final design and construction of NEON. No such cyberinfrastructure network has ever been constructed and the design is novel and untested.
