• CISE Reorganization Status
• International Networking Solicitation
• Cyberinfrastructure

International Networking
• New solicitation• Priorities
– Enable and Enhance communications, collaboration and cooperation by connecting aggregation points
– Enhance connectivity to new regions– Support connections between share
cyberinfrastructure– Cooperate to support domain specific CI

Cyberinfrastructure Characteristics
• Community-Focused– virtual organizations– distributed, – collaborative
• Scale and Scope– Multidisciplinary– International– Supporting data- and compute-intensive applications– High-end to desktop– Heterogeneous
• Common Technology & Policy Platform(s)– Interoperability– Supports characteristics above

Cyberinfrastructureconsists 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.
December 10, 2003 Slide 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.
December 10, 2003 Slide 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

Cyberinfrastructure Early Adopters
• Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation (NEES)
• National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON)
• Biomedical Informatics Research Network (BIRN)
• Extensible Terascale Facility (ETF)

100 Mpbs to 100 Million Homes
• NSF Funded Research Project (10/03) - $7.5M• Stanford, Berkeley, CMU, Rice, Fraser Research,
Internet2• Scope
– Economics– Technologies (Backbone and Access)– Protocols
• Requires a redesign of the access, metropolitan and backbone networks of the Internet
• Applications?
December 10, 2003 Slide 19
Scaling – Homes
TODAY 500Kbps X 10 million homes | | *200 | *10 | | |FUTURE 100Mbps X 100 million homes
• Scale by a factor of 2000!• 1 million homes connected at 100Mbps == 100Tbps!!• At the network core petabits per second are required
