Guidelines for NSF Networking Initiatives in the 21st Century

这是美国科学促进会(AAAS)提出的一项提议，即举办一次研讨会，以收集社区意见，并制作一份公开可用的报告，总结对当前vBNS一代之后NSF先进网络基础设施计划的未来愿景。这是NSF规划过程中必不可少的一部分，收集和发布的信息将对NSF和整个研发社区非常有帮助。作为vBNS后规划活动的一部分，高级网络基础设施计划有许多重要的组成部分。这些组织至少包括以下部门：大学CIO和管理人员、普通科学和大学研究社区、计算机和网络科学研究社区、行业以及参与高级计算基础设施伙伴关系(PACI)的组织。美国科学促进会的这项提案将使我们能够涵盖普通科学和大学研究社区。

This is a proposal from American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) to hold a workshop to capture community input and to produce a publicly available report summarizing visions as to the future of NSF's Advanced Network Infrastructure programs following the present vBNS generation. This is an essential part of the NSF planning process and the information gathered and published will be extremely helpful to NSF and the R&E community at large. The Advanced Network Infrastructure program has a number of important constituent groups that should be consulted as a part of a post-vBNS planning activity. These groups include at least the following sectors: university CIOs and administrators, the general science and university research community, the computer and networking science research community, industry, and those involved with the Partnerships for Advanced Computational Infrastructure (PACI). This AAAS proposal will allow us to cover the general science and university research community.
