The Pacific Rim Applications and Grid Middleware Assembly (PRAGMA), which began as a workshop series, explores the technical, organizational, and trust dimensions that enable small-to-medium-sized international networks of research scientists to address common scientific questions.This award uses international scientific expeditions to forge teams of domain scientists and cyberinfrastructure researchers. Together, they develop and test the underlying technologies that are needed to create usable, international-scale, cyber environments. This award includes not only technology developers but also domain scientists in lake ecology, biodiversity and computer-aided drug discovery. In technology development, the award will: rebuild PRAGMA's technical infrastructure as a multi-provider/multi-institution cloud with a unique control approach; test and develop new analysis and provenance tools to track how data are utilized by the expeditions; enhance data sharing with user-controlled trust envelopes enabled by IPv4 and IPv6 overlay networks; and advance sensor network cyberinfrastructure. Education and training programs will be dramatically expanded through an international student association. New collaborations with a refined focus on common questions that affect India, China, and Southeast Asia will be developed as expeditions. This award broadens engagement of US researchers through a partnership that includes: University of Florida, Indiana University, University of Wisconsin, and led by the University of California, San Diego.PRAGMA complements key international research network activities and large-scale production resources. It leverages significant investments in people, expertise, tools and infrastructure made by international members.The intellectual merit is developing practical approaches to enable groups to collaborate through the cyberinfrastructure. The broader impacts are to fundamentally enable large numbers of small groups to work together on scientific problems where international perspective is essential; better inform the US research community of tools and experts out-side of the US; and create professional networks for the next generation of students. The transformational impact will be a model for building people networks to conduct science across international boundaries.This award is designated as a Science Across Virtual Institutes (SAVI) and is being co-funded by NSF's Office of Cyberinfrastructure; Directorate for Biological Sciences; Directorate for Computer and Information Science and Engineering; and Office of International Science and Engineering.

环太平洋地区应用程序和网格中间件大会（PRAGMA），作为一个研讨会系列开始，探索技术、组织和信任的维度，这些维度使研究科学家的小型到中型国际网络能够解决共同的科学问题。该奖项利用国际科学考察来组建领域科学家和网络基础设施研究人员团队。他们共同开发和测试创建可用的、国际规模的网络环境所需的基础技术。该奖项不仅包括技术开发人员，还包括湖泊生态学、生物多样性和计算机辅助药物发现领域的科学家。在技术开发方面，该合同将：重建PRAGMA的技术基础设施，使其成为具有独特控制方法的多提供商/多机构云；测试和开发新的分析和来源工具，以跟踪探险队如何利用数据；通过IPv4和IPv6覆盖网络启用用户控制的信任信封增强数据共享；先进的传感器网络基础设施。教育和培训项目将通过国际学生协会大幅扩大。将以考察的形式开展新的合作，重点关注影响印度、中国和东南亚的共同问题。该奖项通过伙伴关系扩大了美国研究人员的参与，伙伴关系包括：佛罗里达大学、印第安纳大学、威斯康星大学，并由加州大学圣地亚哥分校牵头。PRAGMA补充了关键的国际研究网络活动和大规模生产资源。它利用国际成员在人员、专业知识、工具和基础设施方面的大量投资。智力上的优点是开发实用的方法，使团体能够通过网络基础设施进行协作。更广泛的影响是从根本上使大量的小团体能够在国际视野必不可少的科学问题上共同努力；更好地向美国研究界通报美国以外的工具和专家；并为下一代学生创建专业网络。这种变革性的影响将成为建立跨国界开展科学研究的人际网络的一种模式。该奖项被指定为跨虚拟研究所的科学（SAVI），由NSF的网络基础设施办公室共同资助；生物科学理事会；计算机和信息科学与工程理事会；国际科学与工程办公室。
