CC*IIE Engineer: Campus CI Engineer in Support of Data-Intensive Science and Knowledge-Sharing Statewide

该项目发展并维持了人类在先进网络技术方面的专业知识，以支持亨茨维尔阿拉巴马大学的数据驱动科学应用，并为整个阿拉巴马州及邻近州的网络基础设施和网络安全专业人员建立了一个参与、学习和知识共享的社区。校园CI工程师负责规划和维护UAH的Science DMZ，确定并解决关键的校园网络工程和性能挑战，并建立理论和实践知识库，为区域CI社区做出贡献，CI工程师是该社区的资源。UAH正在为当地、州和地区的专业人员举办研讨会，以解决先进网络技术中固有的挑战和机遇，以支持数据驱动的科学应用。具体的研讨会将涵盖数据网络和安全方面的新兴主题，例如软件定义网络（SDN）、联邦网络测量（包括perfSONAR）、网络调优、联邦身份管理（InCommon）以及安全和策略开发。在UAH托管的区域数字知识仓库补充了支持区域实践社区的研讨会。该项目扩大并连接了全国其他地方的杰出活动和实践社区。这些活动使具有区域、国家和国际意义的数据驱动科学成为可能，并大大增加了阿拉巴马大学系统区域光网络（UASRON）和阿拉巴马研究与教育网络（AREN）以及整个阿拉巴马大学系统的先进网络专业知识的区域知识库，阿拉巴马大学通过全州CIO委员会和全州网络安全委员会与之合作。

This project evolves and sustains human expertise in advanced networking technologies to support data-driven science applications at the University of Alabama in Huntsville, and fosters a community of engagement, learning, and knowledge-sharing for cyberinfrastructure and cybersecurity professionals throughout Alabama and adjoining states. The campus CI Engineer plans and maintains the Science DMZ at UAH, identifying and addressing key campus network engineering and performance challenges, and building both a theoretical and practical knowledge base to contribute to the regional CI community, for which the CI Engineer acts as a resource. UAH is hosting a workshop for local, state, and regional professionals to address the challenges and opportunities inherent in advanced networking technologies to support data-driven science applications. Specific workshop sessions cover emerging topics in data networking and security such as Software Defined Networking (SDN), federated network measurements including perfSONAR, network tuning, federated identity management (InCommon), and security and policy development. A regional digital knowledge warehouse hosted at UAH complements the workshop in supporting the regional community of practice. This project augments and bridges outstanding activities and communities of practice elsewhere in the nation. The activities enable data-driven science of regional, national and international significance, and significantly augment the regional knowledge base of advanced networking expertise for the University of Alabama System Regional Optical Network (UASRON) and Alabama Research and Education Network (AREN), as well as for the entire University of Alabama system, with whom UAH collaborates via both a statewide CIO council, and a statewide Cybersecurity Council.
