NSF CI-TEAM Implementation Project: Global CyberBridges (GCB); A Model Global Collaboration Infrastructure for e-Science between US and International Partners

Trans-national and cross-discipline communication is the future forscience and engineering research and education.

Global CyberBridges extends the CyberBridges concept to aninternational level.

International Partners

• Florida International University & Calit2 at UCSD

• Computer Network Information Center of the Chinese Academy

of Sciences

• City University of Hong Kong

• University of Sao Paulo’s School of the Future in Brazil.


CyberBridges

CyberBridges tested the hypothesis that students can act as

“bridges,” showing researchers how they can use

cyberinfrastructure (CI) to further their knowledge.

CIARA; Background for the ProjectThe Center for Internet Augmented Research and Assessment (CIARA) was created in 2003 as a State of Florida Type II Research Center at FIU. CIARA services institutional collaborators in the U.S. and internationally as a bridge linking researchers and educators with the infrastructure and knowledge they need to perform their work


CNIC; Background for the ProjectThe Computer Network Information Center, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CNIC, CAS) is a subsidiary research institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), engaged mainly in the construction, operation and supporting service of informatization of CAS, R&D of computer network technology, database technology as well as scientific engineering computation.

Approaches to e-Learning Sciences

CyberBridges fellows construct models with their faculty advisors and reproduce them through computer simulations.

Technology permits teams, possibly in different locations and with different skills to work toward real world solutions.

Hypothesis and assessment

CyberBridges proposed that graduate students engaged in inquiry-based learning activities can affect transfer of CI research and that this transfer will increase scientists’ rates of discovery and create a CI-empowered workforce.

Outcomes of CyberBridges Pilot

• Re-focusing expenditures from technology support functions to synchronous fellowships can have a profound impact on the effectiveness of scientific investigations.

• CyberBridges fellows and their advisors have benefited from such re-focusing. They have successfully implemented CI into their research and teaching.

• Globally distributed institutions can replicate the CyberBridges model.


CyberBridges’ Pilot Success

• CyberBridges exposed over 200 students and

researchers to CI during Super Computing Conference

in Tampa, Florida USA 2006, when the four

CyberBridges fellows gave talks on their work.

• CyberBridges made it possible for each of the fellows to

acquire competitive summer internships.

• Publications accepted at CCGRID, TeraGrid, and

domain specific journals
