Workshop on Cyberinfrastructure for Integrated Earth Observing Systems on November 15-16, 2006.

EPS-0701309的建议是举办一个关于数字基础设施(CI)的研讨会，该研讨会将与2006年11月14-15日在火奴鲁鲁举行的全州范围内的EPSCoR会议相关(利用)。这将为来自夏威夷的科学家/教育工作者以及来自EPSCoR 27个州的代表提供机会，听取传播与信息领域的领导者的演讲者的发言。与会者将了解无线环境传感、数据库工程、数据分析和可视化方面的一些最新技术。他们还将听取关于CI技术将如何在数据集成、分析和可视化方面发挥重要作用的案例研究。在夏威夷EPSCoR州，各种政府机构、非政府组织和私人土地所有者都表达了对研讨会的兴趣。智慧的价值网络基础设施将为科学家提供管理、集成、分析和可视化来自完全不同的数据集的数据的工具。在不同的时间、空间和复杂程度上，信息量的高度异质性要求有机会获得科学计算和信息技术，并有能力合成和解释这种非凡的数据集。拟议的研讨会将为与会者提供一个机会，让他们更好地了解当今可用的传播与信息技术，以及随着技术的不断发展，未来预示着什么。这次研讨会非常及时，因为国家生态观测网络(NEON)的快速发展正在为环境科学制定国家网络基础设施计划。夏威夷RII奖是为了培养在霓虹灯基础设施方面具有竞争力的能力，而PI拥有出色的经验，使这次研讨会对夏威夷和整个EPSCoR社区非常重要。广泛影响研讨会将为演讲双方提供一个论坛，让该技术的最终用户看到和听到该领域的最新发展。在夏威夷，一些政府机构以及私人土地所有者/管理者对应用传播和信息技术保护脆弱的岛屿生态系统、减轻自然灾害(如洪水、海啸、飓风等)的影响表现出极大的兴趣。民防和陆军工程兵团对部署无线传感器技术非常感兴趣，以便预测山洪暴发和海浪涌动等环境事件。传播与信息技术将在满足社会需求方面得到广泛应用，该讲习班将是在夏威夷举行的首批此类会议之一。

Abstract for EPS-0701309The proposal is for a workshop on Cyberinfrastructure (CI) that will be associated with (take advantage of) the Statewide Hawaii EPSCoR Conference, November 14-15, 2006 in Honolulu. This will provide an opportunity for scientists/educators from Hawaii as well as representatives from the 27 EPSCoR states to hear speakers who are leaders in the field of CI. The participants will learn about some of the state-of the-art technologies in wireless environmental sensing, database engineering, data analyses and visualization. They will also hear case studies of how the CI technology will play an important role in data integration, analyses and visualization. Within the EPSCoR state of Hawaii, interests in the workshop have been expressed by various government agencies, NGOs, and private land-owners.Intellectual MeritsCyberinfrastructure will provide scientists with the tools to manage, integrate, analyze,and visualize data from widely disparate data sets. The volumes of highly heterogeneousinformation over varying scales of time, space and complexity require access to scientificcomputing and information technology and the ability to synthesize and enable interpretation of such extraordinary data sets. The proposed workshop will provide an opportunity for participants to better understand the CI technologies available today and what the future portends as the technology continue to develop. The workshop is very timely because of the rapid development of the National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) that is developing national cyberinfrastructure programs for environmental science. The Hawaii RII award is developing the capability to be competitive for NEON infrastructure and the PIs have excellent experience to make this workshop very important to Hawaii and the entire EPSCoR community.Broader ImpactsThe workshop will provide a forum for both speakers end users of the technology to see and hear about the latest developments in the field. In Hawaii, a number of government agencies as well as private land-owners/managers have expressed tremendous interest in the application of CI technologies in protecting fragile island ecosystems, mitigating the impact of natural disasters (e.g. floods, tsunamis, hurricanes, etc). Civil Defense and the Army Corps of Engineers are keenly interested in deploying wireless sensor technologies in order to forecast environmental events such as flash floods and wave surges. The CI technology will have wide application in addressing society's needs and the workshop will be one of the first meetings of its kind in Hawaii.
