EAGER: Report on International Data Exchange Requirements (RIDER)

这项活动面临的需要，研究和预测当前和未来的数据流量的背景下，美国国家科学基金会的国际研究网络连接（IRNC）计划。该研究围绕以下组成部分展开：“能力清单”，结合IRNC链接能力，逐项列出最大的国际数据流;“数据量预测”，预测2020年数据量的方法;“差距分析”，查明IRNC能力与预测数据量之间的脱节;“竞争和信息建议”，就如何弥补这些差距提供见解;以及关于项目活动的最后报告。根据社会的数据需要进行的研究的优点被认为是知识上的优点。更广泛的影响反映在该研究对全球科学学科的潜在影响中，该研究的信息和结果产生的影响适用于到2020年IRNC连接的能力增加。

This activity confronts the need to study and forecast current and future data flow volumes in the context of NSF's International Research Network Connections (IRNC) program. The study is built around the following components: "Capabilities Inventory", to itemize the largest international data flows in combination with IRNC link capacities; "Data Volume Projection", a methodology to forecast data volumes into 2020; "Gap Analysis", to identify disconnects between IRNC capacities and projected data volumes; "CI Recommendations",to provide insights on how to address those gaps; and a final report on project activities. Intellectual merit is described as being found in the merits of the study to be conducted on data needs of the community. Broader impact is reflected in the potential impact of the study across scientific disciplines globally, impacts resulting from the study's information and findings applied to increased capabilities from IRNC connections through 2020.
