CC* Planning: Fostering Data Driven STEM Research and Education Through Cyberinfrastructure at Illinois State University

伊利诺伊州州立大学（ISU）正在创建一个全面的蓝图，以改善其网络基础设施（CI），以促进数据驱动的研究和教育。该规划项目的目标是通过一种称为分析-架构-设计的系统方法为ISU设计一个逻辑性，可复制性和可防御性的科学DMZ。校园IT人员和研究界之间的伙伴关系和结构，特别是教师在计算机网络学科，提出了一个模型，巩固CI的生态系统和集成新的网络技术到现有的框架。基于意图的软件定义的科学DMZ的设计和原型与高性能计算集群是一个新的扩展功能，是不常见的今天。这个规划项目产生了深远的影响，在ISU的STEM社区，以提高他们的可用性和规模的计算，数据和相关的数据分析工具和专业知识的认识。提高认识是从执行支助股发出的，它是当地社区、区域和许多国家相关机构的枢纽。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并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，被认为值得支持。

Illinois State University (ISU) is creating a comprehensive blueprint for improving its cyberinfrastructure (CI) to foster data-driven research and education. The goal of this planning project is to design a logical, reproducible, and defensible Science DMZ for ISU via a systematic approach called Analysis-Architecture-Design. The partnership and structure between campus IT staff and the research community, especially faculty in computer networking discipline, presents a model for consolidating the ecosystem of CI and integrating new network technologies into an existing framework. The design and prototype of an Intent-based Software Defined Science DMZ with high performance computing clusters are a novel extension of capabilities that are not commonly in place today.This planning project produces a profound impact on the STEM community at ISU to increase their awareness of the availability and scales of computation, data, and the related data analytic tools and expertise. The increased awareness is emitted from ISU as a hub to the local community, the region, and many connected institutions nationally. The adopted Analysis-Architecture-Design methodology is beneficial to many similar institutions that want to revitalize their campus cyberinfrastructure.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.
