2018 Software Infrastructure for Sustained Innovation (SI2) Principal Investigators Workshop

该项目将在华盛顿举办为期2天的研讨会，将持续创新软件基础设施（SI2）获奖者聚集在一起（目标是让每个科学软件元素（SSE）、科学软件集成（SSI）和科学软件创新研究所（S2I2）项目的一名主要研究者参与，其中许多是合作奖）从大约250个奖项。该研讨会将有来自计算和数据支持的科学与工程（CDS E），关键弹性相互依赖的基础设施系统和流程（CRISP）和风险投资的PI以及SI2探索性研究早期概念赠款（EAGER）和快速响应研究（RAPID）获奖者的参与。&此外，靠近NSF将鼓励来自基金会各地的项目官员参与。该讲习班的目标包括：（a）提供一个专门的论坛，让专业人员相互交流技术信息，并与国家科学基金会的项目官员交流技术信息;（B）鼓励对新出现的主题进行探索;（c）确定在所支持的软件项目中出现的最佳做法;（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同经验。研讨会预计将接待近150名SI2和其他获奖者，其他发言人和小组成员。拟议的讲习班将支持当前软件网络基础设施开发项目之间的思想交流。它将在国家软件生态系统的更广泛议程中，就与开发强大软件和软件可持续性问题有关的问题提供指导。整个NSF的项目官员的参与预计将帮助跨学科的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的论坛将有助于确保作为SI2项目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。因此，本次研讨会的成果有可能指导参与项目和更广泛的软件开发社区的网络基础设施开发和网络基础设施驱动的研究。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估来支持。

This project will host a 2-day workshop in Washington, DC, which will bring together the community of Software Infrastructure for Sustained Innovation (SI2) awardees (with the goal of involving one principal investigator from each Scientific Software Elements (SSE), Scientific Software Integration (SSI), and Scientific Software Innovation Institutes (S2I2) project, many of which are collaborative awards) from approximately 250 awards. The workshop will have participation from Computational and Data-Enabled Science and Engineering (CDS&E), Critical Resilient Interdependent Infrastructure Systems and Processes (CRISP), and Venture funded PIs as well as SI2 Early Concept Grants for Exploratory Research (EAGER) and Rapid Response Research (RAPID) awardees. 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 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 with the broader agenda for national software ecosystem. 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 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.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
