Software Infrastructure for Sustained Innovation (SI2)

• Transform innovations in research and education into sustained software resources that are an integral part of the cyberinfrastructure

• Develop and maintain sustainable software infrastructure that can enhance productivity and accelerate innovation in science and engineering

SI2 Software Infrastructure Projects

Scientific Software Innovation Institutes (S2I2)

•Initial solicitation for conceptualization awards,(2012) 13 projects (co-funded with BIO, CISE, ENG, MPS)

•Subsequent solicitation for 3-5 more S2I2s closed Feb 2013

•Full institute solicitation in late FY14

FCP Center Conceptualization Strategy• Target data-intensive problems that may be enabled by graph

algorithms• Organize focused workshops with domain software and graph

algorithms experts to– identify core graph problems– determine critical software infrastructure– discover software sustainability challenges

• Build off previous PI activities to be the intellectual leadership for producing a graph algorithm framework for big data problems– determine necessary graph abstractions– build API and reference implementations– demonstrate impact by building FCP implementations for target domain

areas

• Integrate the products of the workshops into an in-depth conceptual design for a software center including– prioritization of R&D, documentation and training activities– role of center staff, application domain researchers, and industry– management plan and implementation timeline
