Face-to-Face Meeting for Software Task Force

建议为一个仅限邀请的小型研讨会请求资金，该研讨会主要由软件工作组的成员和受邀者组成。该工作组是ACCI的一个小组委员会，主要研究软件基础设施方面的问题。这个任务小组的章程是就如何最好地完成NSF的使命和帮助满足对无处不在、可靠和易于访问的软件的需求形成建议，以支持科学和工程研究的需要。软件基础结构是有机地、不一致地发展的，它的开发和采用是由拼凑的资金结构和零星的特定于应用程序的资源可用性驱动的。目前，已通过电话和电子邮件编写了一份报告草案。为了对报告细节进行更有效和高效的讨论，重要的是要举行面对面的会议，这样讨论可以持续几个小时而不是几分钟。这次会议的目标是审查报告的细节，以便将一份完善的早期报告分发给广泛的社区，以获得支持和反馈。会议的结果将包括一份经修订的报告，准备向广大社会散发。

The proposal is to request funds for a small invitation only workshop comprising principally of members of the Software Taskforce and invitees. Intellectual Merit This taskforce constituted as a subcommittee of the ACCI is focused on examining issues in Software Infrastructure. The charter for this task force is to form recommendations on how best to fulfill the NSF mission and help meet the demand for ubiquitous, reliable, and easily accessible software to support science and engineering research needs. Software infrastructure has evolved organically and inconsistently, with its development and adoption being driven by patchwork funding structures and sporadic application-specific resource availability. At this time, a draft report has been developed with communication via telecons and emails. To allow for a more effective and efficient discussion about the report details, it is important to have a face-to-face meeting whereby discussions can occur over hours instead of minutes. The goal of this meeting is to go through the details of the report such that a refined early report can be disseminated to the broad community for buy-in and feedback. The meeting outcome will consist of a refined report that will be ready for dissemination to the broad community.
