Cyberinfrastructure Frameworkfor 21st Century Science &
Engineering (CIF21)
NSF-wide Cyberinfrastructure VisionPeople, Sustainability, Innovation, Integration
1
Framing the QuestionScience is Radically Revolutionized by CI
Modern science Data- and compute-
intensive Integrative
Multiscale Collaborations for Complexity Individuals, groups,
teams, communities Must Transition NSF
CI approach to support Integrative, multiscale 4 centuries of
constancy, 4 decades 109-12 change!
2
Some observations Science and Scholarship are team sports
Competitiveness and success will come to those who can put together the best team, and can marshal the best resources and capabilities
Collaboration/partnerships will change significantly Growth of dynamic coalitions and virtual organizations International collaboration will become even more important
Ownership of data plus low cost fuels growth and number of data systems Growth in both distributed systems and local systems More people want to access more data Federation and interoperability become more important
3
More observations Innovation and discovery will be driven by analysis
Mining vast amounts of new and disparate data Collaboration and sharing of information
Mobility and personal control will continue to drive innovation and research communities
Gaming, virtual worlds, social networks will continue to transform the way we do science, research and education
The Internet has collapsed six degrees of separation and is creating a world with two or three degrees.

Cyberinfrastructure Ecosystem (CIF21)
Organizations Universities, schools Government labs, agencies Research and Medical Centers Libraries, Museums Virtual Organizations Communities
Expertise Research and Scholarship Education Learning and Workforce Development Interoperability and operations Cyberscience
Networking Campus, national, international networks Research and experimental networks End-to-end throughput Cybersecurity
Computational Resources Supercomputers Clouds, Grids, Clusters Visualization Compute services Data Centers
Data Databases, Data repositories Collections and Libraries Data Access; storage, navigation management, mining tools, curation, privacy
Scientific Instruments Large Facilities, MREFCs,,telescopes Colliders, shake Tables Sensor Arrays - Ocean, environment, weather, buildings, climate. etc
Software Applications, middleware Software development and supportCybersecurity: access, authorization, authentication
CIF21 – a metaphor A goal of Virtual Proximity –--
“ you are one with your resources” Continue to collapse the barrier of distance and
remove geographic location as an issue ALL resources (including people) are virtually
present, accessible and secure End-to-end integrated resources Science, discovery, innovation, education are the
metrics
6
An organizing fabric and foundation for science, engineering and education
High Speed Networking Requirements
Scientific Instruments Blue Waters, LHC, OOI, etc Square Kilometer Array, LSST, NEON
Data Tsunami Interconnectivity Massive data centers and globally distributed data
collections Campus Department DNS sequencers (1 TB/ min) Interoperability and open access critical
International Connections More high speed links to Europe, Asia, S. America New connections to Africa, Middle-East
End-to-End Focus Dramatically increase desktop-to-resource
performance Seamless links to all cyberinfrastructure resources
Data Storage Challenges

Some Networking Infrastructure Research Issues
Major Scientific Facility Connections Significant increased connection speeds required for new
scientific instruments and facilities High Performance End-User Access
Significant increases required for desktop-to-resource connections
At-speed and real-time capability Information throughput is the metric
Experimental Research Networks Multi layer, hybrid networks to handle increasingly
complex traffic and workflows Cybersecurity needs to be built-in from the outset
Digital Divide issues Geographically remote, rural areas, community colleges,
etc On campus and off campus capabilities
