RINGS-VO: Building Resilient NextG Systems for Experimentation (RINGS BRIDGE)

我们的世界已经数字化，经济也是如此。数字经济是将传统经济活动、产品和服务转化为数字形式的结果。数字经济的支柱是超连接，即无线技术和物联网（IoT）带来的人、组织和机器之间日益增长的互联性。美国在无线技术领域的领导地位至关重要，并已被确定为重新获得美国在6G技术发展方面的领导地位的国家优先事项。NSF RINGS-VO项目是一项公私合作项目，旨在重建美国在6G技术方面的领导地位，并在数字经济转型方面建立全球领导地位，就像美国在互联网和网络转型方面的增长和领导地位一样，使bb0和苹果成为全球技术领导者。MITRE的RINGS- vo解决方案- RINGS BRIDGE -利用多年的前期投资，国家信誉和专业知识来激励多个利益相关者之间的公正合作。像MITRE创新工具包（一个公开可用的经过验证的方法集合，以帮助团队更具创新性）这样的功能将为RINGS参与者定制和重新部署，同时还利用MITRE在MITRE NERVE信息技术共享方面的重大投资，这是一个独特的集成环境，允许MITRE实验室从任何地方访问，任何美国合作伙伴。RINGS BRIDGE通过创建协作生态系统、整合定制创新工具包以及开发和执行参与者之间的激励计划，促进了RINGS利益相关者社区之间的协作。该系统的特点是技术、方法和工具的分层组合。该门户将RINGS团队和合作伙伴联系在一起，鼓励无障碍访问，并使用社会创新方法和工具来提高项目的影响力和参与度。RINGS BRIDGE从已经存在的MITRE功能中提取，可以在启动后几天内实现以支持RINGS计划。RINGS BRIDGE将在MITRE现有的基础设施中进行定制，以提供广泛的功能，促进和鼓励RINGS研究团队之间的信息共享、协调和合作。MITRE的NERVE和合作伙伴网络（MPN）将为RINGS-VO信息系统提供基础。中央门户将提供实时项目信息、新闻、研究议程和即将召开的会议。门户可以支持托管文件、数据和代码。研究伙伴将有私人空间安全地合作。可以添加额外的协作空间，用于特定研究团队和外部实体之间的联合通信。门户提供与其他RINGS网络的远程连接。专门人员将向所有环管伙伴提供支助和维护。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，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。

Our world has become digitized and so has the economy. The digital economy is the result of the transformation of traditional economic activities, products, and services into digital form. The backbone of the digital economy is hyperconnectivity, the growing interconnectedness of people, organizations, and machines resulting from wireless technology and the internet of things (IoT). U.S. leadership in wireless technology is critical and has been identified as a national priority to regain US-leadership for 6G technology development. The NSF RINGS-VO project is a public-private partnership effort to re-establish US-leadership in 6G technology and establish global leadership for digital economy transformation, much like U.S. growth and leadership in internet and network transformation pioneered Google and Apple into global technology leaders. MITRE’s RINGS-VO solution - RINGS BRIDGE - leverages years of prior investment, national trustworthiness and expertise in incentivizing unbiased collaboration across multiple stakeholders. Capabilities like the MITRE Innovation Toolkit (a publicly available collection of proven approaches to help teams be more innovative) will be customized and redeployed for RINGS participants while also leveraging MITRE’s significant investment in information technology sharing across the MITRE NERVE, a unique integration environment allowing MITRE lab access from anywhere, by any U.S. partner.RINGS BRIDGE fosters collaboration across the RINGS stakeholder community through the creation of a collaboration ecosystem, incorporation of a custom innovation toolkit, and development and execution of an incentive program across the participants. This system features a layered combination of technologies, methods, and tools. Together this gateway connects RINGS teams and partners, encourages burden-free access and uses social-innovation methods and tools to promote increased program impact and participation. RINGS BRIDGE draws from already existing MITRE capabilities that can be implemented to support the RINGS program within days of kickoff. RINGS BRIDGE will be customized within MITRE’s existing infrastructure to provide a broad range of capabilities that will promote and encourage information sharing, coordination, and collaboration between RINGS research teams. MITRE’s NERVE and Partnership Network (MPN) will provide the foundation for RINGS-VO information systems. A central portal would provide real-time project information, news, research agendas, and upcoming meetings. The portal can support hosting files, data, and code. Research partners would have private space to securely collaborate. Additional collaboration spaces can be added for joint communications among specific research teams and external entities. The portal offers remote connectivity with other RINGS networks. Dedicated personnel would provide support and maintenance to all RINGS partners.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.
