Collaborative Research: SI2-SSI: Empowering the Scientific Community with Streaming Data Middleware: Software Integration into Complex Science Environments

该项目将在开源DataTurbine（OSDT）中间件（www.dataturbine.org）的基础上促进新一代基于传感器的流数据应用。这将涉及战略软件开发、系统集成和测试、科学实验以及教育和外展。软件开发将包括（A）用于配置、测试和控制分布式传感器系统的工具，（B）符合开放地理空间联盟传感器网络启用标准的软件接口，（C）新的OSDT-Matlab接口，以及（D）OSDT网络安全增强。这些软件产品将被集成到普渡大学、康涅狄格大学、北温带湖LTER网络站点和蒙特雷湾水族馆研究所的生产研究基础设施中。该软件将作为社区资源进行专业开发和管理。该项目的智力价值将是软件工程，互操作性标准和复杂实时传感器系统的系统管理方面的进步，以及土木工程，海洋科学和生态学中重要开放问题的进步。该项目将通过实现新的科学应用，提高生产力和加速NSF董事会的创新来产生更广泛的影响。为了确保实现这些更广泛的影响，该团队将为学生提供研究机会，开发课程材料和培训课程，并培养软件用户社区。

This project will catalyze a new generation of sensor-based streaming data applications by building on the foundation of the Open Source DataTurbine (OSDT) middleware (www.dataturbine.org). This will involve strategic software development, systems integration and testing, science experiments, and education and outreach. The software developments will include (A) tools for configuring, testing, and controlling distributed sensor systems, (B) software interfaces that are compliant with the Open Geospatial Consortium Sensor Web Enablement standards, (C) a new OSDT-Matlab interface, and (D) OSDT cybersecurity enhancements. These software products will be integrated into the production research infrastructures at Purdue, the University of Connecticut, the North Temperate Lake LTER Network site, and the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute. The software will be professionally developed and managed as community resources. The intellectual merit of this project will be advances in software engineering, interoperability standards, and systems management for complex real-time sensor systems as well as advances on important open questions in civil engineering, marine science, and ecology. This project will yield broader impacts by enabling new science applications, enhancing productivity, and accelerating innovation across NSF directorates. To ensure that these broader impacts are realized, the team will provide student research opportunities, develop curriculum materials and training courses, and cultivate a community of software users.
