CC* Planning: Fostering Data Driven STEM Research and Education Through Cyberinfrastructure at Illinois State University

伊利诺伊州立大学(ISU)正在制定一份全面的蓝图，以改善其网络基础设施(CI)，以促进数据驱动的研究和教育。该规划项目的目标是通过一种称为分析-架构-设计的系统方法，为执行支助股设计一个合乎逻辑的、可重复使用的、可防御的科学非军事区。校园IT人员和研究团体之间的伙伴关系和结构，特别是计算机网络学科的教师，为巩固CI生态系统和将新的网络技术整合到现有框架中提供了一个模式。具有高性能计算集群的基于意图的软件定义科学DMZ的设计和原型是对当今不常见的功能的新扩展。这一规划项目对ISU的STEM社区产生了深远的影响，以提高他们对计算、数据和相关数据分析工具和专业知识的可用性和规模的认识。执行支助股作为中心向当地社区、该区域和全国许多相互联系的机构发出了更高的认识。采用的分析-架构-设计方法对许多希望重振校园网络基础设施的类似机构有利。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

Illinois State University (ISU) is creating a comprehensive blueprint for improving its cyberinfrastructure (CI) to foster data-driven research and education. The goal of this planning project is to design a logical, reproducible, and defensible Science DMZ for ISU via a systematic approach called Analysis-Architecture-Design. The partnership and structure between campus IT staff and the research community, especially faculty in computer networking discipline, presents a model for consolidating the ecosystem of CI and integrating new network technologies into an existing framework. The design and prototype of an Intent-based Software Defined Science DMZ with high performance computing clusters are a novel extension of capabilities that are not commonly in place today.This planning project produces a profound impact on the STEM community at ISU to increase their awareness of the availability and scales of computation, data, and the related data analytic tools and expertise. The increased awareness is emitted from ISU as a hub to the local community, the region, and many connected institutions nationally. The adopted Analysis-Architecture-Design methodology is beneficial to many similar institutions that want to revitalize their campus cyberinfrastructure.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.
