EAGER: A Study of the National Software Cyberinfrastructure Environment

名称：James Bottum（克莱姆森大学）标题：EAGER：国家软件网络基础设施环境研究摘要NSF社区的软件基础设施研究包括分析和盘点软件技术的状态及其在依赖于网络基础设施的科学和工程环境中的使用。结果包括由NSF资助的软件分类，以支持NSF的科学和工程研究和教育，建议NSF在分析软件投资影响时考虑的问题，在NSF社区内确定目标集，以参与未来可能的调查，旨在告知NSF使用软件基础设施，并最终向NSF的网络基础设施咨询委员会（ACCI）提交报告。该研究从定性和定量相结合的角度解决了对当前NSF社区环境中全面软件基础设施状态的更准确理解的需求——该项目试图提供对软件基础设施的新见解和认识。

Proposal#11129017PI Name: James Bottum (Clemson University)Title: EAGER: A Study of the National Software Cyberinfrastructure EnvironmentAbstractThis study of software infrastructure for the NSF community includes analysis and inventory the state of software technologies and their use in science and engineering environments dependent on cyberinfrastructure. Results include a taxonomy of software funded by NSF to support NSF science and engineering research and education, recommended questions for NSF to consider in the analysis of impact by software investments, the identification of a target set within the NSF community to engage in a future possible survey intended to inform NSF on use of software infrastructure, and culminating in a presentation to NSF's Advisory Committee on Cyberinfrastructure (ACCI). The study addresses the need for a more accurate understanding of the state of comprehensive software infrastructure in current NSF community settings from a combined qualitative and quantitative perspective - the project attempts to provide new insight and awareness of the software infrastructure.
