CISE Research Infrastructure: The Digital Commonspace

EIA-0080146 Nutt，Gary University of Colorado-BoulderCISE Research Infrastructure：The Digital CommonSpace该研究计划致力于共生计算环境，在该环境中，人们使用小型通信计算机(SCC)来收集和使用其个人信息空间中的信息和工具。这个信息空间，我们称之为数字公用区，由广泛的计算和网络设备管理：SCCS、笔记本电脑、个人计算机和工作站，以及服务器，所有这些都由一系列网络互连。这项研究涉及设备、系统和网络；动态互连设施；以及一般应用。在传统计算机科学领域变得模糊的共生计算环境中，出现了一种新兴的计算模型：操作系统必须定制以满足应用程序支持工具和应用程序本身的需求。应用程序支持软件必须利用操作系统设计，同时为应用程序提供定制支持。应用程序必须使用新的软件范例才能利用应用程序支持工具和操作系统。这项研究计划的个人已经在这些传统领域中的每一个领域进行了研究，他们现在专注于数字公共空间作为推动最先进的共生计算的机制。

EIA-0080146Nutt, GaryUniversity of Colorado - BoulderCISE Reserach Infrastructure: The Digital CommonSpaceThis research program addresses symbiotic computing environments in which people use small, communicating computers (SCCs) to collect and use information and tools in their personal information space. This information space, which we call a Digital CommonSpace, is managed by a broad spectrum of computing and network equipment: SCCs, laptops, personal computers and workstations, and servers all interconnected by a spectrum of networks. This research addresses devices, systems, and networks; dynamic interconnection facilities; and general applications. There is an emerging computing model for symbiotic computing environments in which traditional computer science domains have become blurred: The OS must be tailored to meet the needs of application support tools and the applications themselves. The application support software must exploit the OS design and while providing custom support to the applications. Applications must use new software paradigms to take advantage of the application support tools and OS. The individuals for this research program have conducted research in each of these traditional domains, and they are now focusing on the Digital CommonSpace as the mechanism to advance the state-of-the-art symbiotic computing.
