“a new age has dawned in scientific and engineering research, pushed by continuing progress in computing, information, and communication technology, and pulled by the expanding complexity, scope, and scale of today’s challenges. The capacity of this technology has crossed thresholds that now make possible a comprehensive “cyberinfrastructure” on which to build new types of scientific and engineering knowledge environments and organizations and to pursue research in new ways and with increased efficacy.”

Big Ideas•Global cyberinfrastructure (CI) can become a
platform for routine, effective distance-independent activities of knowledge communities. These CI-enabled virtual communities are becoming functionally complete. (Goal is not to eliminate same time and place collaboration, but rather to augment it.)
•World-scale collaborative teams can be common place.
•Cyberinfrastructure offers new options for what is done, how it is done, and who participates.
•The digital library community has made large contributions to creating this vision.
•We now have the opportunity (and responsibility) to help make it real.

Core Middleware•Identity and Identifiers – namespaces, identifier
crosswalks, real world levels of assurance, etc.
•Authentication – campus technologies and policies, interrealm interoperability via PKI, Kerberos, etc.
•Directories – enterprise directory services architectures and tools, standard objectclasses, interrealm and registry services
•Authorization – permissions and access controls, delegation, privacy management, etc.
•Integration Activities – open management tools, application of virtual, federated and hierarchical trust, enabling common applications with core middleware

Increased Demand for Data Curation
Services•Supercomputer simulations of complex systems require multidisciplinary expertise, computational models and data.
•Increased power of data mining.
•Enormous data streams from smart sensor arrays.
•Data validation and metadata quality enhancement over time.

We are at an inflection point in the curve of IT
impact...•CKCs are being developed by science communities not merely to do faster-better-cheaper what they have been doing.
•CKCs support doing new things, new ways.
•Long-term, billion dollar projects are being pursued that cannot be done without advanced cyberinfrastructure.

Vignettes from UARC/SPARC
• Shared, tele-instruments & expertise.• Rapid response, opportunistic campaigns.• Multi-eyes, complementary expertise.• Isolated instruments became a global instrument chain.• Cross-mentoring/training.• New & earlier opportunities/exposure for grad students.• Enhanced participation. Legitimate peripheral
participation.• Support for authentic, inquiry-based learning at UG and
pre-college level.• Distributed workshops for post-campaign data analysis.• Session re-play for delayed participation.• Data-theory closure.• A “living specification” to stretch vision of possibilities.

Potential for CKCs•Reduced constraints of time and space; Can use all four combinations of time and place.
•Enhanced sharing, re-use and multi-use of resources.
•New computationally based tools for modeling, simulation, visualization. (third mode)
•New levels of comprehensive access to archival and real-time multimedia data, information, knowledge
•Facilitation of experiential learning
•Rapid response to the unexpected.
•Acceleration of cycles of discovery.
•Capture of process; not just end results
•More open forms of publications and artifact sharing.
•New “and-and” organizational forms.

Could CKCs be the basis for new types of world
research universities (WRU)?•Could a WRU be much more inclusive
in who participations?
•Can we find new synergy between global commonality and regional diversity (cultural)?
•Could a WRU be a strategic force for social good?
• Is it worth exploring this topic further? How?
Something to think about.....
