Originally developed by geographers in the mid-1960s, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have flourished since that time. In the foreseeable future, GIS software will continue to play essential roles for breaking through scientific challenges in numerous fields and improving decision-making practices with broad societal impacts. However, fulfilling such roles is increasingly dependent on the ability to handle very large spatiotemporal data sets and complex analysis software based on synthesizing computational and spatial thinking enabled by cyberinfrastructure, which conventional GIS-based software approaches do not provide. This project will establish CyberGIS as a fundamentally new software framework comprising a seamless integration of cyberinfrastructure, GIS, and spatial analysis/modeling capabilities. Specifically, the project will: 1) engage a multidisciplinary community through a participatory approach in evolving CyberGIS software requirements; 2) integrate and sustain a core set of composable, interoperable, manageable, and reusable CyberGIS software elements based on community-driven and open source strategies; 3) empower high-performance and scalable CyberGIS by exploiting spatial characteristics of data and analytical operations for achieving unprecedented capabilities for geospatial knowledge discovery; 4) enhance an online geospatial problem solving environment to allow for the contribution, sharing, and learning of CyberGIS software by numerous users, which fosters the development of education, outreach, and training programs crosscutting multiple disciplines; 5) deploy and test CyberGIS software by linking with national and international cyberinfrastructure to achieve scalability to significant sizes of geospatial problems, cyberinfrastructure resources, and user communities; and 6) evaluate and improve the CyberGIS framework through domain science applications and vibrant partnerships to gain better understanding of the complexity of coupled human-natural systems.The CyberGIS software framework will shift the current paradigm of GIS and associated spatial analysis/modeling software to create scalable and sustainable software ecosystems while achieving groundbreaking scientific advances in understanding coupled human-natural systems that would be impossible otherwise. These advances will, for example, dramatically advance the understanding of disaster preparedness and response and impacts of global climate change. This framework will empower high-performance and collaborative geospatial problem solving and serve as a key driver for the interoperability of international cyberinfrastructure based on broad engagement of user communities related to GIS for both research and education purposes. The project will establish an industrial partnership with the Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI), collaborations with the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) National Map Project, and international partnerships with several institutions in Australia, China, and the United Kingdom to effectively extend the benefits to the nation and society in significant ways.

地理信息系统（GIS）最初由地理学家在20世纪60年代中期开发，自那时以来一直蓬勃发展。 在可预见的未来，GIS软件将继续在突破众多领域的科学挑战和改善具有广泛社会影响的决策实践方面发挥重要作用。 然而，履行这些角色越来越依赖于处理非常大的时空数据集和复杂的分析软件的能力，该软件基于网络基础设施所支持的综合计算和空间思维，而传统的基于GIS的软件方法无法提供。 该项目将建立CyberGIS作为一个全新的软件框架，包括网络基础设施，GIS和空间分析/建模能力的无缝集成。 具体而言，该项目将：1）通过参与性方法使多学科社区参与不断发展的CyberGIS软件需求; 2）基于社区驱动和开源战略，整合和维持一套可组合、可互操作、可管理和可重复使用的CyberGIS软件要素; 3）赋予高-性能和可扩展的网络地理信息系统，通过利用数据和分析操作的空间特征，实现前所未有的地理空间能力，知识发现; 4）增强在线地理空间问题解决环境，允许众多用户贡献，共享和学习CyberGIS软件，促进跨学科教育，推广和培训计划的发展; 5）通过与国家和国际网络基础设施连接，部署和测试CyberGIS软件，以实现对重大地理空间问题，网络基础设施资源的可扩展性，用户社区; 6）通过领域科学应用和充满活力的伙伴关系，评估和改进CyberGIS框架，以更好地了解耦合的人类-自然系统的复杂性。CyberGIS软件框架将改变当前GIS和相关空间分析的范式。建模软件，以创建可扩展和可持续的软件生态系统，同时在理解人类-自然系统，否则是不可能的。 例如，这些进展将大大促进对备灾和救灾以及全球气候变化影响的了解。 这一框架将促进高性能和协作性的地理空间问题解决，并在与地理信息系统有关的用户群体为研究和教育目的广泛参与的基础上，成为国际网络基础设施互操作性的关键驱动力。 该项目将与环境系统研究所（ESRI）建立工业合作伙伴关系，与能源部的橡树岭国家实验室（ORNL）和美国地质调查局（USGS）国家地图项目合作，并与澳大利亚，中国和英国的几个机构建立国际合作伙伴关系，以有效地扩大国家和社会的利益。
