DL Projects12CTRnet (Crisis, Tragedy & Recovery Net)NSF IIS-0916733Provides a range of services relating to different kind of tragic events. Collect and archive different types of CTR related information such asWeb sites, videos, blogs and tweets. Various collections about school shootings and natural disasters have been developed from collaboration with the Internet Archive.

The worldwide Network of Physics Departments and Documents - provides a set of information services for physicists (e.g., PhysDep, PhysDoc, PhysJobs, Journals, Conferences, Workshops and Summer Schools).All information ofPhysNet is kept, stored and maintained by its creators at their local institution's server or individual homepage.

CINET: Network Science MiddlewareNSF SDCI 1032677The research will develop a cyber infrastructure middleware (CINET) to support Network Science.CINET will be pervasive, flexible and extensible. Users can contribute new networks, data, methods, hardware, and research results in an integrative way.CINET will enable new ways by which researchers study and teach complex networks.

Netviz: Course project aims to develop a visualization component for CINET which contains large network graphs. The visualization service will get Networks from CINET, convert from Galib to Gexf format, then visualize the graphs using Gelphi.22DL ProjectsCINET: Network Science Middleware
