Collaborative Research: Conference: Geospatial Cyberinfrastructure Workshop: Building High-Performance, Ethical, and Secured Geospatial Software

地理空间软件在获取、转换和使用地理空间信息和知识，从而促进对人-自然耦合系统的理解方面发挥着至关重要的作用。高性能的地理信息系统(地理信息系统)软件通常是使用先进的地理空间网络基础设施平台生产的。然而，对质量的衡量仍处于灰色地带。例如，用户满意度、可用性测试和以人为中心的计算是高性能地理空间软件工具接受度和受欢迎程度的主要因素。随着许多系统的复杂性不断增加，确保安全性、安全性和可靠性变得势在必行。该研讨会为来自工业界和学术界以及包括地球科学、计算机科学和软件工程在内的不同社区的科学家和工程师提供了一个宝贵的平台，介绍在研究和劳动力发展方面面临的挑战。研讨会包括主题演讲、培训课程、论文课程和小组讨论，讨论开发安全、安全和可靠的地理空间软件系统的最佳和最有效的技术。讲习班在挑选参加讲习班的学生时将优先考虑少数族裔学生。少数族裔和社会弱势群体的学生和教育工作者将通过旅行奖励计划被招募到研讨会。讲习班材料将通过协作网络分发给不同的研究团体。拟议的讲习班将加强在计算机科学、工程和地球科学研究领域内开发合乎道德和安全的地理空间软件的做法和进程。通过研讨会，拟议的工作旨在通过在会议上提供讲座、培训和演示，并通过合作网络与不同的研究社区分享成果，来加强软件研究队伍的发展。研讨会的主题包括地伦理、高性能软件开发、地理空间软件可用性测试和软件可靠性。该项目团队与国家和地区专业协会以及公共和私人机构合作，将支持网络基础设施的地球空间软件开发实践转化为不同的组织环境，以促进地球科学、工程和计算机科学研究社区的网络基础设施教育。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

Geospatial software plays an essential role in acquiring, transforming, and using geospatial information and knowledge, thus facilitating the understanding of coupled human-natural systems. High-performance Geographic Information Systems (GIS) software are often produced using advanced Geospatial Cyberinfrastructure platforms. However, the measurement of quality is still in the gray area. For example, user satisfaction, usability testing, and human-centered computing are the major factors contributing to the acceptance and popularity of high-performance geospatial software tools. As the complexity of many systems continues to grow, ensuring security, safety, and reliability becomes imperative. This workshop provides a valuable platform to scientists and engineers from industry and academia and different communities, including Geoscience, computer science, and software engineering, to present the challenges faced in research and workforce development. The workshop consists of keynote presentations, a training session, paper sessions, and panel discussions to discuss the best and most efficient techniques for developing secure, safe, and reliable geospatial software systems. The workshop will prioritize minority students when selecting the participants for the workshop. Minority and socially disadvantaged students and educators will be recruited to the workshop through the travel award program. The workshop material will be disseminated to diverse research communities through collaboration networks. The proposed workshop will enhance practices and processes for developing ethical and secured geospatial software within computer science, engineering, and Geoscience research domains. Through the workshop, the proposed work aims to strengthen the software research workforce development by providing lectures, training, and presentation at the conference and sharing results with diverse research communities through collaboration networks. The workshop covers topics such as Geoethics, high-performance software development, geospatial software usability testing, and software dependability. The project team has partnered with national and regional professional societies and public and private institutions to translate Cyberinfrastructure enabled geospatial software development practices into diverse organizational contexts to promote cyberinfrastructure education among Geoscience, Engineering, and Computer Science research communities.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.
