December 10, 2003Slide 10 Hardware Integrated CI System meeting the needs of a community of communities Grid Services & Middleware Development Tools & Libraries Applications Environmental Science High Energy Physics Proteomics/Genomics … Domain- specific Cybertools (software) Shared Cybertools (software) Distributed Resources (computation, communication storage, etc.) Education and Training Discovery & Innovation

11. December 10, 2003Slide 11 Cyberinfrastructure consists of … Computational engines (supercomputers, clusters, workstations, small processors, …) Mass storage (disk drives, tapes, …) Networking (including wireless, distributed, ubiquitous) Digital libraries/data bases Sensors/effectors Software (operating systems, middleware, domain specific tools/platforms for building applications) Services (education, training, consulting, user assistance) All working together in an integrated fashion.

12. December 10, 2003Slide 12 In Ten Years, CI will be… rich in resources, comprehensive in functionality, and ubiquitous; easily usable by all scientists and engineers, from students to emertii; accessible anywhere, anytime needed by authenticated users; interoperable, extendable, flexible, tailorable, and robust; funded by multiple agencies, states, campuses, and organizations; supported and utilized by educational programs at all levels.

13. December 10, 2003Slide 13 Technical Challenges Computer Science and Engineering broadly How to build the components? Networks, processors, storage devices, sensors, software How to shape the technical architecture? Pervasive, many cyberinfrastructures, constantly evolving/changing capabilities How to customize CI to particular S&E domains
