Organizing CSSI PI Meeting - Towards a National Cyberinfrastructure Ecosystem

该项目将在华盛顿州西雅图举办为期2天的研讨会，将从大约250个奖项中汇集可持续科学创新（CSSI）获奖者的网络基础设施社区（目标是涉及每个元素，框架，研究所概念化和科学软件创新研究所项目的至少一名首席研究员（PI），其中许多是合作奖项）。这将是第一次CSSI PI会议。此外，还将邀请之前相关招标的PI（如持续创新软件基础设施（SI 2）和数据基础设施构建块（DIBBS）），以及获得CSSI种子投资的NSF奖项的PI（风险投资PI以及CSSI探索性研究早期概念赠款（EAGER）获奖者）。此外，邻近工业与应用数学学会（SIAM）科学计算并行处理会议（PP 20）将鼓励非PI社区的参与，以进一步向学术界通报CSSI的目标和项目。本次研讨会的目标包括：（1）作为一个专门的论坛，让PI与彼此、社区和NSF项目官员分享技术信息;（2）探索软件和数据基础设施社区中出现的创新主题;（3）讨论支持的软件和数据基础设施项目中出现的最佳实践;（4）激发对实现软件和数据可持续性的新方法的思考;（5）在一个在线门户网站上收集分享的经验。研讨会预计将接待近250名CSSI和其他获奖者，其他发言者和小组成员。拟议的讲习班将支持目前网络基础设施发展项目之间的意见交流。它将就与开发强有力的软件和数据制品有关的问题及其可持续性问题提供指导。整个NSF的项目官员的参与预计将帮助跨学科CSSI获奖者了解整个NSF网络基础设施的相关性和影响。这些获奖者，项目官员和其他研究人员在一个共同的论坛的参与将有助于确保作为CSSI项目的一部分开发的网络基础设施将是相关的，并广泛适用于大多数科学和工程领域。因此，本次研讨会的成果有可能指导参与项目和更广泛的网络基础设施开发社区的网络基础设施开发和网络基础设施驱动的研究。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This project will host a 2-day workshop in Seattle, WA, which will bring together the community of Cyberinfrastructure for Sustained Scientific Innovation (CSSI) awardees (with the goal of involving at least one principal investigator (PI) from each Elements, Frameworks, Institute Conceptualizations, and Scientific Software Innovation Institutes project, many of which are collaborative awards) from approximately 250 awards. This will be the first CSSI PI meeting. In addition, PIs from the prior connected solicitations (such as Software Infrastructure for Sustained Innovation (SI2) and Data Infrastructure Building Blocks (DIBBS)) will be invited, as well as PIs on NSF awards in which CSSI seed investments were made (Venture funded PIs as well as CSSI Early Concept Grants for Exploratory Research (EAGER) awardees). In addition, the proximity to Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) Conference on Parallel Processing for Scientific Computing (PP20) will encourage participation by non-PI community to further inform the academic community of CSSI goals and projects. Goals of this workshop include: (1) Serve as a focused forum for PIs to share technical information with each other, community, and NSF Program Officers; (2) Explore innovative topics emerging within software and data infrastructure communities; (3) Discuss emerging best practices across the supported software and data infrastructure projects; (4) Stimulate thinking on new ways of achieving software and data sustainability; (5) Gather the shared experiences in an online web portal. The workshop is expected to host close to 250 CSSI and other awardees, other speakers and panelists. The proposed workshop will support the exchange of ideas among the current cyberinfrastructure development projects. It will provide guidance on issues related to the development of robust software and data artifacts and to the problem of their sustainability. Involvement of program officers across NSF is expected to help the interdisciplinary CSSI awardees understand the relevance and impact of cyberinfrastructure throughout the NSF. The participation of these awardees, program officers, and other researchers in a common forum will help ensure that the cyberinfrastructure developed as part of CSSI projects will be relevant and broadly applicable to most science and engineering domains. The results of this workshop thus have the potential to guide cyberinfrastructure development and cyberinfrastructure driven research for both the participating projects and for the wider cyberinfrastructure development community.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
