Software is critical for all branches of science and engineering and is a key component of the emerging global cyberinfrastructure. In parallel, science and engineering are becoming more collaborative, where multi-investigator teams with a diversity of expertise are required to efficiently attack increasingly complex fundamental questions and processes, on a global scale; including societal issues such as health, energy, weather, disaster mitigation (earthquake, flood), and the environment. Solving problems on a global scale requires both that scientists work together and that their software and related cyberinfrastructure interoperate.NSF recognizes the importance of the development of software and software institutes and has established a solicitation to provide opportunities for the U.S. research communities to their development. The National Natural Science Foundation of China similarly recognizes the significance of software development for science and engineering studies, and has supported research in this area, but there has been little communication between software research communities in the United States and China. This award will support a series of two workshops and intervening interactions by funding a group of approximately 15 U.S. researchers to interact with a similar number of researchers in the People?s Republic of China supported by the National Natural Science Foundation China, to explore three areas of software development: trusted software, extreme scale software, and architectures and processes for emerging infrastructure, in order to expand collaboration between the U.S. and China software researchers in these areas.The first workshop will be held in Beijing in Fall 2011; a second workshop will be held in San Diego in Spring 2012. Between the workshops small groups of participants and graduate students will meet to develop ideas from the first workshop, to be presented at the second workshop, and to be pursued after the end of this funded activity. The success of this activity will be measured in the research collaborations that persist beyond the framework of this activity.The intellectual merit of this activity is to determine through practice if this process can accelerate the formation of substantive, bi-lateral, peer-reviewed research programs. The broader impact will be to open the door, widely, to U.S.-China collaborations in some critical areas of software. The transformative impact will be a model of how other international research collaborations in cyberinfrastructure can be carried out to break down significant barriers between researchers in the world?s two largest economies.

软件对科学和工程的所有分支都至关重要，是新兴的全球网络基础设施的关键组成部分。与此同时，科学和工程变得更加协作，需要具有多种专业知识的多研究者团队在全球范围内有效地解决日益复杂的基本问题和过程;包括健康，能源，天气，减灾（地震，洪水）和环境等社会问题。 在全球范围内解决问题需要科学家们共同努力，他们的软件和相关的网络基础设施互操作。NSF认识到软件和软件研究所发展的重要性，并已建立了一个征集，为美国研究社区提供发展机会。 中国国家自然科学基金委员会同样认识到软件开发对科学和工程研究的重要性，并支持这一领域的研究，但美国和中国的软件研究社区之间很少交流。 该奖项将支持一系列的两个研讨会和干预互动，资助一组约15名美国研究人员与类似数量的研究人员在人民？在国家自然科学基金委员会的支持下，中美软件研究人员将共同探讨软件开发的三个领域：可信软件、极端规模软件以及新兴基础设施的架构和过程，以扩大中美软件研究人员在这些领域的合作。第一次研讨会将于2011年秋季在北京举行;第二次研讨会将于2012年春季在圣地亚哥举行。在讲习班之间，参加者和研究生小组将开会，从第一次讲习班中提出想法，在第二次讲习班上提出，并在资助活动结束后继续讨论。 这项活动的成功将通过在活动框架之外持续进行的研究合作来衡量。这项活动的智力价值是通过实践来确定这一过程是否可以加速实质性的、双边的、同行评审的研究计划的形成。更广泛的影响将是打开大门，广泛地，美国-中国在一些关键软件领域的合作。变革性的影响将成为网络基础设施领域其他国际研究合作的典范，以打破世界研究人员之间的重大障碍。这是两个最大的经济体。
