A National Science Foundation - Workshop on Cyber-Based Combustion Science

nsf -基于网络的燃烧科学研讨会（作者：Arnaud Trouve，马里兰大学）该研讨会的智力优势在于网络基础设施领域，在这里定义为一组用于计算、存储、通信和数据处理服务的基础技术。近年来，网络基础设施已成为现实；它的发展已经影响了许多（如果不是全部的话）科学领域；越来越多的人认为，计算机和网络技术的未来进步，加上这些技术在全球范围内的传播，将导致科学方法和组织的进一步革命性变化。考虑到这个充满可能性的新世界，美国国家科学基金会正在积极推动一项全国性战略的发展，以建立一个支持21世纪科学发现和工程创新的网络基础设施。作为这一更广泛的持续努力的一部分，将举行为期1.5天的研讨会，将美国燃烧科学界聚集在一起，以实现以下目标：(1)让燃烧科学家参与建立网络基础设施的全国性战略的制定；(2)确定具体的网络基础设施能力和需求，以支持燃烧科学和燃烧工程教育；(3)为燃烧科学制定一个社区范围的愿景，该愿景与伴随新的网络基础设施而来的方法和组织的革命性变化相一致，建立在此基础上，并接受这些变化。研讨会将于2006年4月19日至20日在弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿的国家科学基金会总部举行。与会者将包括来自学术界、国家实验室、政府机构和工业界的燃烧科学界代表。研讨会将包括邀请演讲和分组讨论。计划举行三场分组会议，可能强调以下主题：(1)特定于子社区的、基于网络的燃烧科学应用（即高性能计算、化学库、传感器驱动建模等）；(2)社区范围的、基于网络的燃烧科学应用（即网络协作实验室）；(3)基于网络的燃烧教育（即在基于网络的环境中为学术界、政府和行业提供的课程和劳动力机会和需求）。研讨会的更广泛影响将是在新兴网络基础设施的推动下，为新的燃烧科学和教育战略提出一个全社区的愿景。该愿景将包括向NSF提出的一系列建议，以促进燃烧科学适应科学方法和组织的新网络转型。可交付成果包括一个网站和一份最终报告。

Public AbstractCTS-0616456A NSF-Workshop on Cyber-based Combustion SciencePI: Arnaud Trouve, University of MarylandThe intellectual merit of this workshop is in the area of cyberinfrastructure, defined herein as a set of base technologies for computation, storage, communication, and data processing services. The cyberinfrastructure has become a reality in recent years; its development has already impacted many, if not all, scientific fields; and there is a growing consensus that future progress in computer and network technologies, combined with the dissemination of these technologies on a global scale, will lead to further revolutionary changes in scientific methods and organizations. Mindful of this new world of possibilities, NSF is actively promoting the development of a nationwide strategy to build a cyberinfrastructure in support of 21st century scientific discovery and engineering innovations.As part of this wider ongoing effort, a 1.5-day workshop will be held to bring together the U.S. combustion science community to meet the following objectives: (1) have combustion scientists participate in the development of a nation-wide strategy to build a cyberinfrastructure; (2) identify specific cyberinfrastructure capabilities and needs in support of combustion science and combustion engineering education; (3) develop a community-wide vision for combustion science, that is consistent with, building upon, and embracing the revolutionary changes in methods and organizations that will accompany the new cyberinfrastructure.The workshop will take place on April 19-20, 2006, at NSF headquarters in Arlington, Virginia. Participants will include representatives of the combustion science community from academia, national laboratories, government agencies, and industry. The workshop will consist of a mix of invited talks and breakout group discussion sessions. Three breakout sessions, possibly emphasizing the following themes, are planned: (1) sub-community-specific, cyber-based combustion science applications (i.e. high-performance computing, chemical libraries, sensor-driven modeling, etc); (2) community-wide, cyber-based combustion science applications (i.e. web-enabled collaboratories); and (3) cyber-based combustion education (i.e. curriculum and work force opportunities and needs for academia, government and industry, in a cyber-based environment). The broader impact of the workshop will be in the articulation of a community-wide vision for a new combustion science and education strategy empowered by the emerging cyberinfrastructure. This vision will include a list of recommendations to NSF to facilitate the adaptation of combustion science to the new cyber-induced transformations in scientific methods and organizations. Deliverables include a website and a final report.
