Session: NSF Cyber Enabled Discovery (CDI) : Challenges for the Scientific Community

Event Type: Birds of a Feather

Time: 12:15pm - 1:15pm

Session Chair: Lenore Mullin

Location: A2 / A5

Abstract:
NSF CDI Objectives include the broadening of our Nation's capability for innovation by developing a new generation of computationally based discovery concepts and tools to deal with complex, data-rich, and interacting systems. With CDI, we expect to have enhanced ability to deal with research requiring petascale cyberinfrastructure, a strengthened technical basis for a new generation of computational discovery in all Science and Engineering, and significant progress in educating computational discoveries. This BOF hopes to address challenges facing languages, compilers, and operating systems in support of this venture. Examples include addressing Proebsting's Law and software keeping up with Moore's Law, verification of scientific software both semantically and operationally, co-design of machines in support of scientific software, symbolic, numeric, and algebraic software systems, team building, education and research training, as well as issues of how to address changes required in academia is support of these goals.
