This project will host a 1.5-day workshop in Arlington, VA, which will bring together the community of SI2 awardees (with the goal of involving one principal investigator from each SSE and SSI project, many of which are collaborative awards) from 214 awards. The workshop will also solicit participation from NSF-supported science and engineering projects that rely on the national research cyberinfrastructure for their computation, communication, and data management needs. In addition, the proximity to NSF will encourage participation by Program Officers from across the Foundation. Goals of this workshop include: (1) Providing a focused forum for PIs to share technical information with each other and with NSF Program Officers; (2) Encouraging exploration of emerging topics; (3) Identifying emerging best practices across the supported software projects; (4) Stimulating thinking on new ways of achieving software sustainability; and (5) Disseminating the shared experiences of the researchers via an online web portal. The workshop is expected to host 85 SI2 awardees and several other speakers and panelists. The workshop will use a hybrid style, blending a traditional, top-down driven agenda with a interactive, adaptive, participant-driven agenda. The proposed workshop will support the exchange of ideas among the current software cyberinfrastructure development projects. It will provide guidance on issues related to the development of robust software and to the problem of software sustainability. Involvement of program officers across NSF is expected to help the interdisciplinary SI2 awardees understand the relevance and impact of cyberinfrastructure throughout the NSF. The participation of these researchers and program officers in a common forum will help ensure that the cyberinfrastructure software developed as part of SI2 projects will be relevant and broadly applicable to the most science and engineering domains possible. The hybrid approach is innovative and holds the promise of creating rich interactions among PIs, resulting in richer collaboration and learning. The results of this workshop thus have the potential to guide cyberinfrastructure development and cyberinfrastructure driven research for both the participating projects and for the wider software development community.

该项目将在弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿举办一个为期1.5天的研讨会，将来自214个奖项的SI2获奖者社区聚集在一起(目标是每个SSE和SSI项目都有一名首席研究员参与，其中许多是合作奖项)。研讨会还将邀请NSF支持的科学和工程项目参与，这些项目依赖于国家研究网络基础设施来满足其计算、通信和数据管理需求。此外，靠近国家科学基金会将鼓励来自整个基金会的项目官员参与。该研讨会的目标包括：(1)为个人投资机构之间以及与NSF计划官员共享技术信息提供一个有重点的论坛；(2)鼓励探索新出现的主题；(3)确定所支持的软件项目中新出现的最佳实践；(4)激发实现软件可持续性的新方法的思考；以及(5)通过在线门户网站传播研究人员共享的经验。研讨会预计将有85名SI2获奖者以及其他几位演讲者和小组成员参加。研讨会将使用混合风格，将传统的自上而下驱动的议程与交互式、适应性和参与者驱动的议程相结合。拟议的讲习班将支持目前的软件网络基础设施开发项目之间的思想交流。它将就有关开发健壮软件的问题和软件可持续性问题提供指导。NSF项目官员的参与有望帮助跨学科SI2获奖者了解整个NSF网络基础设施的相关性和影响。这些研究人员和项目官员参加一个共同论坛将有助于确保作为SI2项目的一部分开发的网络基础设施软件将与尽可能多的科学和工程领域相关并广泛适用。混合方法是创新的，有望在PI之间创建丰富的交互，从而实现更丰富的协作和学习。因此，该讲习班的成果有可能指导参与项目和更广泛的软件开发界的网络基础设施开发和网络基础设施驱动的研究。
