5. KyCI 2009 Cyberinfrastructure (CI) in Kentucky A Framework for Strategic Planning At the request of the National Science Foundation, the Kentucky Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research has conducted a strategic planning exercise to support the development of Cyberinfrastructure in Kentucky. This report is the result of input by a multi-institutional steering committee and a workshop in which several different sectors of Kentucky society participated. This report covers the current state of cyberinfrastructure in the Commonwealth, and makes recommendations for augmenting it in the future. These recommendations are to be aligned with the future needs of Kentucky, such as energy production and consumption, increasing the effectiveness and efficiency of health services, improving resources to carry out research and providing better education, and promoting economic development. Prepared by: Jim Bottum, CI Consulting

6. Cyber Infrastructure Components Netware:  Broadband connections to the outside world Hardware  Supercomputers; Data Storage Software:  Middleware; Research programs Wetware:  Expertise; Technical support

7. Priorities eHealth  Diagnostics; medical records,images energy/environment  Smart grids; monitoring education:  Course Sharing; Library depositories economic development:  Knowledge industry

8. Recommendations Build a ubiquitous network: (Universities; Community Colleges; Libraries; Schools; Medical Centers; Communities) Leverage external funding: NSF C2 (Cyber Connectivity); BTOP (Broadband Technical Opportunity Program).. from the Federal Department of Commerce, focused on connecting rural areas.

9. Kentucky Networks

10. Kentucky Educational Network

11. Recommendations (ctd) Maintain high performance computing (already at UK and UofL) Develop applications software (e.g. for medical records and smart grids) Expand expertise for training and technical support

12. First Step to the Future The creation of a Kentucky Cyberinfrastructure Coalition is proposed to effect collaboration and ensure that federal funds are most effectively spent to ensure long-term economic impact. Providing a robust, easily accessible cyberinfrastructure will enhance the state’s attractiveness to new businesses and organizations seeking relocation or a friendly place to get started.
