A vBNS Connection for the University of Missouri- Columbia

该奖项是根据NCRI宣布的“连接到互联网”的高性能连接部分颁发的，NSF96-。它通过位于伊利诺伊州唐纳斯格罗夫的MCI POP建立到甚高性能主干网络服务(VBNS)的连接，从而为连接提供部分支持，以增强和适应密苏里哥伦比亚大学(MU)的研究需求。该提案中的项目包括：密苏里州智能网络信息系统(MIIS)、密苏里大学/美国宇航局地区应用中心(MURAC)、21世纪的教室(Class21)、地理空间信息协同信息电子表格(CISS)、交互式共享期刊系统(ISJS)、分布式基因组数据库浏览和分析设施(DGDB)以及用于网络科学计算的智能多代理系统(IMSN)。Minis探索了计算智能方法和网络信息的集成。MURAC涉及实时收集和处理GEOS-8/9遥感卫星超级图像数据，供气象、环境和农业企业联合项目的研究人员进行分布式访问。第21课涉及构建一个学习环境，允许学生在共享的信息空间中进行以项目为导向的合作。CIS涉及广泛分散的研究人员在协作环境中访问和操作地理空间信息。ISJS涉及软件的开发，以支持新的教学形式。DGDB提供了基因组数据库的无缝集成，以便于生物医学研究人员访问和分析。IMSN涉及为科学计算应用程序创建一个解决问题的环境。凭借这种高性能的网络能力，墨尔本大学将扩大目前的研究以及与学术机构和联邦实验室的合作。该项目的合作机构包括：伊利诺伊大学香槟分校、NCSA、NAS A Goddard、NASA Ames、JPL、华盛顿大学-圣彼得堡分校。路易斯、孟山都公司、俄亥俄州立大学、匹兹堡超级计算机中心、圣地亚哥超级计算机中心、国家卫生研究院和普渡大学。

This award is made under the high performance connections portion of NCRI's "Connections to the Internet" announcement, NSF 96-64. It provides partial support for a connection to enhance and accommodate the research needs for the University of Missouri-Columbia (MU) by establishing a connection to the Very High Performance Backbone Network Service (vBNS) via the MCI POP in Downers Grove, IL. Projects in this proposal include: Missouri Intelligent Networked Information System (MINIS), MU/NASA Regional Applications Center (MURAC), The Classroom of the 21st Century (Class21), Collaborative Information Spreadsheet of Geospatial Information (CISS), Interactive Shared Journal System (ISJS), Distributed Genome Database Browsing and Analysis Facility (DGDB), and Intelligent Multiagent Systems for Networked Scientific Computing (IMSN). MINIS explores the integration of computational intelligence methodologies and networked information. MURAC involves the realtime collection and processing of GEOS-8/9 remote sensing satellite hyper-image data data for distributed access by researchers in weather, environmental and agribusiness joint projects. Class21 involves the construction of a learning environment to permit project oriented collaboration by students in a shared information space. CISS involves the access and manipulation of geospatial information in a collaborative environment by widely dispersed researchers. ISJS involves the development of software to support new forms of teaching and learning. DGDB provides a seamless integration of genome databases to facilitate access and analysis by biomedical researchers. IMSN involves the creation of a problem solving environment for scientific computing applications. With this high performance network capability, MU will expand current research and collaboration with both academic institutions and federal laboratories. Collaborating institutions for this project include: University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, NCSA, NAS A Goddard, NASA Ames, JPL, Washington University-St. Louis, Monsanto Corporation, Ohio State University, Pittsburgh Supercomputer Center, San Diego Supercomputer Center, National Institutes of Health, and Purdue University.
