Proposal #: CNS 08-36228PI(s): Fortes, Jose A.Institution: University of Florida Gainesville, FL 32611-2002Title: Workshop on Instrumentation Needs of Computer and Information Science and EngineeringProject Proposed:This proposal, planning a workshop to examine the nature, needs, importance, challenges, and funding mechanisms of instrumentation development, acquisition, utilization, and sharing, for purposes of ongoing and/or anticipated research in different CISE areas, brings together recognized CISE research leaders to conduct such an assessment and produce a report that can be shared with the CISE community, colleagues, academic administrators, government funding agencies, and industry. CISE research is increasingly concerned with extremely large and complex objects whose behavior cannot be entirely distilled from first principles or investigated using reduction models. Among other factors, scale is a consequence of Moore?s law and pervasive networking. Complexity arises from the embedding of computing into artifacts, interconnection of many components and/or multiple layers of functionality. Research needed to design and/or model such objects often requires special instruments to either peer into individual components at very small space/time granularity or to observe/emulate/simulate many objects at large enough scale and during long enough times. Over the last two decades the CISE research instrumentation needs, and mechanisms to address them, have changed as a reflection of the evolution of IT technology, both from the standpoint of the research challenges to be faced and the instruments enabled. The amazing progress of computer and information technologies (IT) has led to the current era of microprocessors with billions of transistors, software environments with millions of lines of code, multi-layered IT systems, and networks of thousands of computers, users, and applications. As a consequence, the objects computer scientists and engineers study often have an unprecedented scale and complexity. CISE instruments often grow by connecting many other artifacts (in some cases, on the fly) leading to complexity that cannot be mastered by any single designer or user of those objects. Thus, an urgent need exists for such assessment. Broader Impact: IT is increasingly being embedded into artifacts which might include non-IT components whose natures include mechanical, electrical, communication, energy production, chemical, transportation, entertainment, medical, and defense. Thus, instrumentation touches society overall.

建议#：CNS 08-36228PI(S)：Fortes，Jose A.机构：佛罗里达大学盖恩斯维尔分校，FL 32611-2002标题：关于计算机和信息科学与工程的仪器设备需求研讨会建议：该建议计划举办一个研讨会，以审查仪器设备开发、获取、利用和共享的性质、需求、重要性、挑战和资助机制，目的是在不同的CESS领域进行和/或预期的研究，聚集公认的CISE研究领导者来进行这样的评估并产生一份报告，可以与CISE社区、同事、学术管理人员、政府资助机构和行业共享。CISE的研究越来越关注那些行为不能完全从第一原理中提炼出来或使用约化模型进行研究的极大和复杂的对象。在其他因素中，规模是摩尔-S定律和无处不在的网络的结果。复杂性源于将计算嵌入到人工产物中、许多组件的互连和/或多层功能。设计和/或模拟这样的对象所需的研究通常需要特殊的仪器，以便以非常小的空间/时间粒度观察单个组件，或者在足够大的规模和足够长的时间内观察/模拟/模拟许多对象。在过去二十年中，CISE的研究仪器需求和解决这些需求的机制发生了变化，这反映了信息技术的发展，无论是从要面对的研究挑战还是从启用的仪器的角度来看。计算机和信息技术(IT)的惊人进步导致了当前的时代，即具有数十亿个晶体管的微处理器、具有数百万行代码的软件环境、多层IT系统以及由数千台计算机、用户和应用程序组成的网络。因此，计算机科学家和工程师研究的对象往往具有前所未有的规模和复杂性。Cise仪器通常通过连接许多其他文物(在某些情况下，在运行中)而增长，从而导致这些对象的任何单一设计者或用户都无法掌握的复杂性。因此，迫切需要这样的评估。更广泛的影响：它越来越多地被嵌入到构件中，其中可能包括非IT组件，这些组件的性质包括机械、电气、通信、能源生产、化学、交通、娱乐、医疗和国防。因此，仪器设备触及了整个社会。
