Leveraging Expertise and Cyberinfrastructure
•MAEViz has been developed faster and is more effective due to its incorporation of – Design concepts,
– Lessons learned, and
– Software components
developed through a focused effort to understand virtual organizations and to develop domain-independent infrastructure.

Mosaic and Cyberenvironments• Mosaic
– By early 1990s, the internet had a wealth of resources, but they were inaccessible to most scientists
– Individual publishing– Browsing versus retrieving– See “Web 2.0 ... The Machine is
Us/ing Us”
• Cyberenvironments– By the early 2000’s, the internet
and grid had a wealth of interactive resources, but they were inaccessible to most scientists
– Individual information models– Fusion versus gathering See “The Machine is Us/ing

A Production Model for Collaboration•MAEviz is Driven by MAE/Community Needs
•Architecture incorporates the latest ideas yet– MAEviz development priorities are focused on
MAE/Community needs
– MAEviz is developed using rigorous software engineering methods
– MAEviz does not incorporate unproven software or extraneous core functionality to serve research needs
•Avoids ‘perpetual beta’ and high barriers of more tightly coupled approaches…

A True Partnership
• Leadership, Requirements Gathering, Funding, Evaluation from MAE Center
• Cyberinfrastructure Expertise, Developers, Components and Funded Component R&D from NCSA
