Software is critical for all branches of science and engineering and is a key component of the emerging global cyberinfrastructure. In parallel, science and engineering are becoming more collaborative, where multi-investigator teams with a diversity of expertise are required to efficiently attack increasingly complex fundamental questions and processes, on a global scale; including societal issues such as health, energy, weather, disaster mitigation (earthquake, flood), and the environment. Solving problems on a global scale requires both that scientists work together and that their software and related cyberinfrastructure interoperate.NSF recognizes the importance of the development of software and software institutes and has established a solicitation to provide opportunities for the U.S. research communities to their development. The National Natural Science Foundation of China similarly recognizes the significance of software development for science and engineering studies, and has supported research in this area, but there has been little communication between software research communities in the United States and China. This award will support a series of two workshops and intervening interactions by funding a group of approximately 15 U.S. researchers to interact with a similar number of researchers in the People?s Republic of China supported by the National Natural Science Foundation China, to explore three areas of software development: trusted software, extreme scale software, and architectures and processes for emerging infrastructure, in order to expand collaboration between the U.S. and China software researchers in these areas.The first workshop will be held in Beijing in Fall 2011; a second workshop will be held in San Diego in Spring 2012. Between the workshops small groups of participants and graduate students will meet to develop ideas from the first workshop, to be presented at the second workshop, and to be pursued after the end of this funded activity. The success of this activity will be measured in the research collaborations that persist beyond the framework of this activity.The intellectual merit of this activity is to determine through practice if this process can accelerate the formation of substantive, bi-lateral, peer-reviewed research programs. The broader impact will be to open the door, widely, to U.S.-China collaborations in some critical areas of software. The transformative impact will be a model of how other international research collaborations in cyberinfrastructure can be carried out to break down significant barriers between researchers in the world?s two largest economies.

软件对于科学和工程的所有分支都至关重要，并且是新兴的全球网络基础设施的关键组成部分。与此同时，科学和工程变得更加协作，需要具有多种专业知识的多研究人员团队在全球范围内有效地解决日益复杂的基本问题和过程；包括健康、能源、天气、减灾（地震、洪水）和环境等社会问题。 解决全球范围内的问题既需要科学家们的共同努力，也需要他们的软件和相关网络基础设施的互操作。NSF 认识到软件和软件机构发展的重要性，并发起了一项征集活动，为美国研究界的发展提供机会。 中国国家自然科学基金会同样认识到软件开发对于科学和工程研究的重要性，并支持该领域的研究，但美国和中国的软件研究界之间的交流很少。 该奖项将资助大约 15 名美国研究人员与中国国家自然科学基金委员会支持的中国类似数量的研究人员进行互动，以支持一系列两场研讨会和干预互动，以探索三个领域软件开发领域：可信软件、超大规模软件以及新兴基础设施的架构和流程，以扩大美国和中国软件研究人员在这些领域的合作。第一届研讨会将于 2011 年秋季在北京举行；第二次研讨会将于 2012 年春季在圣地亚哥举行。在研讨会期间，参与者和研究生小组将开会讨论第一次研讨会的想法，这些想法将在第二次研讨会上提出，并在本次研讨会结束后继续进行资助的活动。 该活动的成功将通过在该活动框架之外持续存在的研究合作来衡量。该活动的智力价值是通过实践确定该过程是否可以加速实质性、双边、同行评审研究的形成程序。更广泛的影响将是在软件的一些关键领域广泛地打开美中合作的大门。其变革性影响将成为网络基础设施领域其他国际研究合作的典范，以打破世界两个最大经济体研究人员之间的重大障碍。
