DISCOVER (Distributed Sensing and Computing Over Sparse Environments) is a cyberinfrastructure testbed for remote, rural, and sparsely populated areas, consisting of a fabric of highly configurable and fixed and mobile Internet-of-Things (IoT) nodes and a heterogeneous wireless network. The project is a collaborative effort among two minority and undergraduate serving institutions: Northern Arizona University (NAU) and Navajo Technical University (NTU), the largest tribal college in the country located in Navajo land in New Mexico. DISCOVER sites will be located at the NAU and NTU campuses as well as several remote sites.DISCOVER will enable focused research on new breeds of algorithms that address a range of challenges around prioritization and optimization of computation and communication in remote, less populous and rural areas. The proposed infrastructure will advance the frontier of science in different fields of the CISE community by enabling remote experimentation for innovative research including the development and evaluation of: (1) methodologies for collecting and analyzing regional-scale, sparse, temporal-spatial data, (2) heterogeneous networked services, (3) distributed computing and AI, control, decision making, in-network computation and information extraction algorithms for complex CPS, (4) communication-aware software for remote sensing and actuation in heterogeneous and resource-limited networks.The primary goal of DISCOVER is to provide a research platform for investigation of distributed computing, networking, security, control and coordination solutions in a heterogeneous configurable cyber-physical system infrastructure that will provide critical services for areas and populations at increasing risk of being underserved. The education and outreach impacts of this project include training and research opportunities for undergraduate students, engaging underrepresented minority students from American Indian and Alaska Native populations---in particular the Navajo and Tohono O'odham nations---at NAU, NTU and other local tribal colleges and undergraduate universities, and developing hands-on research experiments for K-12 students.A project website will be created to post the material, updates, collected data, and sample scripts. The website will be maintained by the PI and will be accessible via https://www.cefns.nau.edu/~fa334/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.

DISCOVER（Distributed Sensing and Computing Over Sparse Environments）是一个面向偏远、农村和人口稀少地区的网络基础设施测试平台，由高度可配置的固定和移动的物联网（IoT）节点和异构无线网络组成。该项目是两个少数民族和本科服务机构之间的合作努力：北方亚利桑那大学（NAU）和纳瓦霍技术大学（NTU），在全国最大的部落学院位于纳瓦霍土地在新墨西哥州。DISCOVER站点将位于NAU和NTU校园以及几个偏远站点。DISCOVER将重点研究新品种的算法，以解决偏远，人口较少和农村地区的计算和通信优先级和优化方面的一系列挑战。 拟议的基础设施将通过实现创新研究的远程实验来推进CISE社区不同领域的科学前沿，包括开发和评估：（1）收集和分析区域规模、稀疏、时空数据的方法，（2）异构网络服务，（3）分布式计算和人工智能、控制、决策，DISCOVER的主要目标是为分布式计算、网络、安全、环境等领域的研究提供一个研究平台，在异构可配置的网络-物理系统基础设施中提供控制和协调解决方案，为面临服务不足风险的地区和人口提供关键服务。该项目的教育和推广影响包括为本科生提供培训和研究机会，吸引来自美国印第安人和阿拉斯加土著人口的代表性不足的少数民族学生-特别是纳瓦霍人和Tohono O 'odham民族-在NAU，NTU和其他当地部落学院和本科大学，并为K-12学生开发动手研究实验。将创建一个项目网站，以发布材料，更新，收集的数据和样本脚本。该网站将由PI维护，并可通过https://www.cefns.nau.edu/~fa334/This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获得支持。
