This project will host a 1.5-day workshop in Arlington, VA, which will bring together the community of SI2 awardees (with the goal of involving one principal investigator from each SSE and SSI project, many of which are collaborative awards) from 214 awards. The workshop will also solicit participation from NSF-supported science and engineering projects that rely on the national research cyberinfrastructure for their computation, communication, and data management needs. In addition, the proximity to NSF will encourage participation by Program Officers from across the Foundation. Goals of this workshop include: (1) Providing a focused forum for PIs to share technical information with each other and with NSF Program Officers; (2) Encouraging exploration of emerging topics; (3) Identifying emerging best practices across the supported software projects; (4) Stimulating thinking on new ways of achieving software sustainability; and (5) Disseminating the shared experiences of the researchers via an online web portal. The workshop is expected to host 85 SI2 awardees and several other speakers and panelists. The workshop will use a hybrid style, blending a traditional, top-down driven agenda with a interactive, adaptive, participant-driven agenda. The proposed workshop will support the exchange of ideas among the current software cyberinfrastructure development projects. It will provide guidance on issues related to the development of robust software and to the problem of software sustainability. Involvement of program officers across NSF is expected to help the interdisciplinary SI2 awardees understand the relevance and impact of cyberinfrastructure throughout the NSF. The participation of these researchers and program officers in a common forum will help ensure that the cyberinfrastructure software developed as part of SI2 projects will be relevant and broadly applicable to the most science and engineering domains possible. The hybrid approach is innovative and holds the promise of creating rich interactions among PIs, resulting in richer collaboration and learning. The results of this workshop thus have the potential to guide cyberinfrastructure development and cyberinfrastructure driven research for both the participating projects and for the wider software development community.

该项目将在弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿举办为期 1.5 天的研讨会，汇聚来自 214 个奖项的 SI2 获奖者社区（目标是让每个 SSE 和 SSI 项目的一名首席研究员参与其中，其中许多是合作奖项）。该研讨会还将征求 NSF 支持的科学和工程项目的参与，这些项目依赖国家研究网络基础设施来满足其计算、通信和数据管理需求。此外，靠近 NSF 将鼓励整个基金会的项目官员参与。本次研讨会的目标包括： (1) 为 PI 之间以及与 NSF 项目官员共享技术信息提供一个重点论坛； （2）鼓励对新兴课题的探索； (3) 确定受支持的软件项目中新兴的最佳实践； (4) 激发对实现软件可持续性新方法的思考； (5) 通过在线门户网站传播研究人员的共同经验。该研讨会预计将接待 85 位 SI2 获奖者以及其他几位演讲者和小组成员。研讨会将采用混合风格，将传统的、自上而下驱动的议程与互动的、适应性的、参与者驱动的议程相结合。拟议的研讨会将支持当前软件网络基础设施开发项目之间的思想交流。它将就与健壮软件开发和软件可持续性问题相关的问题提供指导。 NSF 项目官员的参与预计将帮助跨学科 SI2 获奖者了解整个 NSF 网络基础设施的相关性和影响。这些研究人员和项目官员参与共同论坛将有助于确保作为 SI2 项目一部分开发的网络基础设施软件将具有相关性并广泛适用于尽可能多的科学和工程领域。这种混合方法具有创新性，有望在 PI 之间创建丰富的互动，从而实现更丰富的协作和学习。因此，本次研讨会的结果有可能为参与项目和更广泛的软件开发社区的网络基础设施开发和网络基础设施驱动的研究提供指导。
