Today, every discipline of science and engineering is being revolutionized by the widespread use of comprehensive cyberinfrastructure (CI). Computing power, data volumes, and network capacities are all on exponential growth paths, collaborations are growing dramatically, and all forms of CI---and multiple communities spanning multiple agencies and international domains---often must be brought to bear to address a single complex grand challenge problem, such as climate change. All of these developments are part of a revolutionary new approach to scientific discovery in which advanced computational facilities (e.g., data systems, computing hardware, high speed networks) and instruments (e.g., telescopes, sensor networks, sequencers) are coupled to the development of quantifiable models, algorithms, software and other tools and services to provide unique insights into complex problems in science and engineering. {nid 2II9} For complete text please see the NSF link http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2010/nsf10015/nsf10015.jsp?org=OCI {nid 2IIA} {{{ and {nid 2IIB} }}} http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2010/nsf10015/nsf10015.jsp {nid 2IIC} |
