CLEANER: Collaborative Research: Concept Development Toward a Collaborative Large-Scale Engineering Analysis Network for Environmental Research with Focus on the Chesapeake Bay

0414429 DiToro这个规划拨款项目的目标是为切萨皮克湾准备一个工程分析网络（EAN）的概念设计。该项目将在最先进的网络基础设施能力背景下，研究切萨皮克研究、数据收集和数据使用的当前实践和未来发展，以规划EAN的概念设计。EAN由人员和设施组成，通过协作工具、传感器网络、数据存储库、计算工具（主要是过程模型）以及数据可视化和解释工具的基础设施连接起来。概念设计将是一个多学科和多大学合作的结果，在约翰霍普金斯大学（JHU）、特拉华大学（U. DE）、马里兰大学（U. MD）和切萨皮克研究联盟（CRC）切萨皮克社区模型计划（CCMP）的四个pi和两个联合pi的指导下，与来自用户和开发者社区的选定技术专家合作。

0414429 DiToro The objective of this planning grant project is to prepare a conceptual design of an Engineering Analysis Network (EAN) for the Chesapeake Bay. This project will examine current practices and perceived future developments in Chesapeake research, data gathering, and data use in the context of state-of-the-art cyberinfrastructure capabilities in order to plan the conceptual design of an EAN. An EAN is comprised of people and facilities linked through an infrastructure of collaboration tools, sensor networks, data repositories, computational tools (principally process models), and tools for data visualization and interpretation. The conceptual design will be the result of a multidisciplinary and multi-university under the direction of four PIs and two co-PIs from the Johns Hopkins University (JHU), the University of Delaware (U. DE), the University of Maryland (U. MD), and the Chesapeake Research Consortium (CRC) Chesapeake Community Model Program (CCMP) in collaboration with selected technical experts from the user and developer communities.
