Workshop: Combustion Cyberinfrastructure action-plan workshop, Winter 2011, Raleigh, NC

该提案要求支持在北卡罗莱纳州立大学举行为期两天的研讨会，以制定“通过CI转化燃烧研究”的实施计划。一小群人将根据国家研究委员会最近的一项研究结果（https://download.nap.edu/login.php?record_id=1）和现有的网络基础设施（如primekinetics.org）来制定这个计划。第一天和研讨会前的准备工作将侧重于制定计划的拟议战略和战术。第二天将致力于撰写和审查具体细节。该活动的智力价值是通过创建用于数据归档、管理和协作的技术和组织工具来推进燃烧科学。预计近期更广泛的影响将是技术和教育，为个人、科学界和工业发展创建数据库和计算工具，并评估广泛的燃烧数据。这种软件、数据库和支持人员的操作模式应该扩展到其他数据生成的研究社区，通过允许改进数据的访问和解释来改变科学的进展。它也应该成为社区发展数据管理计划的典范。

1210633WestmorelandThis proposal requests support for a two-day workshop to be held at North Carolina State University to create an implementation plan for "Transforming Combustion Research through CI." A small group of people will develop this plan based on findings of a recent National Research Council study (https://download.nap.edu/login.php?record_id=1) and existing cyberinfrastructure as exemplified by primekinetics.org. Day 1 and the pre-workshop preparation will focus on working out proposed strategies and tactics of the plan. Day 2 will be devoted to writing and vetting the specific details.The intellectual merit of the activity is to advance combustion science through creation of technical and organizational tools for data archiving, curation, and collaboration. Near-term broader impacts are expected to be technological and educational, creating databases and computational tools for individual, scientific-community, and industrial development and evaluation of a wide range of combustion data. This operational model of software, databases, and support staff should be extensible to other data-generating research communities, transforming the progress of science by allowing improved access and interpretation of data. It should be a model for community development of data-management plans, as well.
