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 approximately 250 awards. The workshop will have participation from SI2 EAGER and RAPID awardees and selected awardees of the ACI VOSS program that examines cyberinfrastructures from the social and organizational perspective. In addition, the proximity to NSF will encourage participation by Program Officers from across the Foundation. Goals of this workshop include: (a) providing a focused forum for PIs to share technical information with each other and with NSF Program Officers, (b) encouraging exploration of emerging topics, (c) identifying emerging best practices across the supported software projects, (d) stimulating thinking on new ways of achieving software sustainability, and (d) disseminating the shared experiences of the researchers via an online web portal.The workshop is expected to host close to 150 SI2 and other awardees, 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，该研讨会将汇集来自大约250个奖项的SI2获奖者社区（目标是每个SSE和SSI项目都有一名首席研究员，其中许多是合作奖）。研讨会将有SI2 EAGER和RAPID获奖者以及ACI VOSS项目的选定获奖者参加，该项目从社会和组织的角度研究网络基础设施。此外，靠近美国国家科学基金会将鼓励来自整个基金会的项目官员参与。本次研讨会的目标包括：(a)为pi提供一个重点论坛，以便彼此之间以及与NSF项目官员分享技术信息，(b)鼓励对新兴主题的探索，(c)在支持的软件项目中确定新兴的最佳实践，(d)激发对实现软件可持续性的新方法的思考，以及(d)通过在线门户网站传播研究人员的共享经验。讲习班预计将接待近150名SI2和其他获奖者、其他演讲者和小组成员。研讨会将采用混合风格，将传统的、自上而下的议程与互动的、适应性的、参与者驱动的议程相结合。建议的工作坊将有助现时软件及网络基建发展计划之间的意见交流。它将为与健壮软件开发和软件可持续性问题有关的问题提供指导。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与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大多数科学和工程领域相关并广泛适用。混合方法是创新的，并且有望在pi之间创建丰富的交互，从而产生更丰富的协作和学习。因此，本次研讨会的成果有可能为参与项目和更广泛的软件开发社区指导网络基础设施的发展和网络基础设施驱动的研究。
