EAGER: Report on International Data Exchange Requirements (RIDER)

在NSF的国际研究网络连接（IRNC）计划的背景下，这项活动面临着研究和预测当前和未来数据流量的需求。这项研究是围绕以下组成部分进行的：“能力清单”，逐项列出最大的国际数据流，并结合IRNC链接能力；“数据量预测”，一种预测2020年数据量的方法；“差距分析”，以确定IRNC能力与预计数据量之间的脱节；“CI建议”，就如何解决这些差距提供见解；以及项目活动的最终报告。智力上的价值是指将根据社会的数据需要进行的研究的价值。更广泛的影响体现在该研究对全球科学学科的潜在影响，以及该研究的信息和发现所产生的影响，这些影响将应用于到2020年IRNC连接的增强能力。

This activity confronts the need to study and forecast current and future data flow volumes in the context of NSF's International Research Network Connections (IRNC) program. The study is built around the following components: "Capabilities Inventory", to itemize the largest international data flows in combination with IRNC link capacities; "Data Volume Projection", a methodology to forecast data volumes into 2020; "Gap Analysis", to identify disconnects between IRNC capacities and projected data volumes; "CI Recommendations",to provide insights on how to address those gaps; and a final report on project activities. Intellectual merit is described as being found in the merits of the study to be conducted on data needs of the community. Broader impact is reflected in the potential impact of the study across scientific disciplines globally, impacts resulting from the study's information and findings applied to increased capabilities from IRNC connections through 2020.
