This project establishes the Cyberinfrastructure Network of Expertise (CNE) for teaching, training, and research on networking technologies including Science Demilitarized Zone (Science DMZ). The Science DMZ is a network specifically designed to facilitate the transfer and sharing of very large scientific data (big data) across geographically separated sites. The project serves the national interest, as it addresses the shortage of skilled research personnel with specialized skills to support networks carrying big science data among research institutions, universities, and national laboratories. This initiative also fosters skills toward the development of a national "cyber-highway" system to better facilitate the sharing of big science data, hence promoting collaboration and national competitiveness in science and engineering, aligned with NSF's mission. CNE is composed of universities, industry organizations, national and state agencies in multiple states, and a national laboratory. This broad initiative ensures a strong adoption of best cyberinfrastructure (CI) practices in sharing terabytes of data and more, thereby enabling new modes of discovery and collaboration. Additionally, the project develops advanced instructional material for Science DMZ, which is being integrated into undergraduate courses in information technology, computer science, and engineering in multiple universities. CNE is anchored at the University of South Carolina (USC) and has several thrusts. First, the instructional material is enriched with a large number of virtual laboratories (vLabs), designed in partnership with domain experts and the Network Development Group (NDG), a company in virtualized training. The material covers key aspects of the Science DMZ, including wide area networks, routers and switches, TCP attributes for big data transfers, and cybersecurity for friction-free environments. Second, the CNE partnership also includes Florida Atlantic University (FAU) and University of South Florida (USF), which are incorporating the vLabs and companion material into their degree programs. These enriched programs provide skills to fulfill pressing demands in both South Carolina and Florida. Third, in conjunction with local industry and Savannah River National Laboratory, CNE incorporates internships and industry-sponsored capstone projects in student training to strengthen the cooperation between academia and industry and to bolster national security related to big data transfers. Fourth, CNE organizes workshops to provide critical training and education on Science DMZs in partnership with Internet2 and state agencies, namely South Carolina Cyber (SC Cyber) and the Florida Center for Cybersecurity (FC2). Finally, by leveraging the extensive dissemination channels of all project partners, CNE plans to make vLabs and manuals available to the wider CI community for online self-paced self-training delivery.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该项目建立了网络基础设施专业网络 (CNE)，用于网络技术的教学、培训和研究，包括科学非军事区 (Science DMZ)。科学 DMZ 是一个专门设计的网络，旨在促进跨地理位置的超大型科学数据（大数据）的传输和共享。该项目符合国家利益，因为它解决了具有专业技能的熟练研究人员的短缺问题，以支持研究机构、大学和国家实验室之间承载大科学数据的网络。该倡议还培养了开发国家“网络高速公路”系统的技能，以更好地促进大科学数据的共享，从而促进科学和工程领域的合作和国家竞争力，这与 NSF 的使命相一致。 CNE 由大学、行业组织、多个州的国家和州机构以及国家实验室组成。这一广泛的举措确保了在共享 TB 级数据及更多数据方面大力采用最佳网络基础设施 (CI) 实践，从而实现新的发现和协作模式。此外，该项目还为 Science DMZ 开发了先进的教学材料，该材料正在被整合到多所大学的信息技术、计算机科学和工程本科课程中。 CNE 立足于南卡罗来纳大学 (USC)，并有多个主攻方向。首先，教学材料通过大量虚拟实验室 (vLab) 进行了丰富，这些虚拟实验室是与领域专家和虚拟化培训公司 Network Development Group (NDG) 合作设计的。该材料涵盖了 Science DMZ 的关键方面，包括广域网、路由器和交换机、大数据传输的 TCP 属性以及无摩擦环境的网络安全。其次，CNE 合作伙伴还包括佛罗里达大西洋大学 (FAU) 和南佛罗里达大学 (USF)，它们正在将 vLab 和配套材料纳入其学位课程。这些丰富的项目提供了满足南卡罗来纳州和佛罗里达州紧迫需求的技能。第三，CNE与当地工业界和萨凡纳河国家实验室合作，将实习和工业界赞助的顶点项目纳入学生培训中，以加强学术界和工业界之间的合作，并支持与大数据传输相关的国家安全。第四，CNE 与 Internet2 和州机构（即南卡罗来纳州网络 (SC Cyber​​) 和佛罗里达州网络安全中心 (FC2)）合作，组织研讨会，提供有关科学 DMZ 的重要培训和教育。最后，通过利用所有项目合作伙伴的广泛传播渠道，CNE 计划向更广泛的 CI 社区提供 vLab 和手册，用于在线自定进度的自我培训交付。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并被认为值得通过以下方式获得支持：使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估。
