Planning Grant: I/UCRC for Center for Cloud and Autonomic Computing site at Texas Tech University (CAC@TTU)

拟议的规划活动旨在规划在德克萨斯理工大学现有的云计算和自主计算中心建立一个新的工业/大学合作研究中心（I/UCRC）。该中心目前涉及亚利桑那州、佛罗里达州、密西西比州和罗格斯州，以及该领域的行业和政府合作伙伴。德克萨斯理工大学的网站旨在提供一个实际的工作竞技场，用于开发和协调适用于云和其他形式的高级分布式计算的标准、基于标准的软件和参考实现。该网站将满足组织，分类，开发参考实现的需要，并以其他方式为先进的分布式计算中基于标准的软件做出贡献。计划中的网站，结合现有的中心计划，以帮助建立云计算的创新能力。 德克萨斯理工大学网站的成果有可能支持这一新兴领域的有效，基础广泛的标准开发。 该网站计划通过TTU STEM教育和推广项目以及SURAgrid区域网格和云计算教育传播项目等机制对学生产生重大影响。

The proposed planning activity seeks to undertake planning of the establishment of a new Industry/University Cooperative Research Center (I/UCRC) site at Texas Tech University of the existing Center for Cloud and Autonomic Computing. The center currently involves Arizona, Florida, Mississippi State and Rutgers, and industry and government partners in the field. The Texas Tech site intends to provide a practical work arena for development and coordination of standards, standards-based software and reference implementations applicable to cloud and other forms of advanced distributed computing. The site will fill a need to organize, classify, develop reference implementations for and otherwise contribute to standards-based software in advanced distributed computing.The planned site, in combination with the existing center plans to help build innovation capacity in cloud computing. The outcomes from the Texas Tech site has the potential to support effective, broad-based standards development for this emerging field. The site plans to have a significant impact on students via mechanisms including the TTU STEM Education and Outreach Project and the SURAgrid regional grid and cloud computing educational dissemination project.
