  1. The Future of Cyber Infrastructure in Kentucky John W. D. Connolly, Director, UK Center for Computational Sciences and the Kentucky EPSCoR for NSF www.ccs.uky.edu

  2. Center for Computational Sciences Focal Point for Computation at UK Research (GridChem, ParamChem, VOEIS; Nanotechnology,CRIS,RCH) Support (Campus Champions) Seminars; Conferences; Training Computational Professorships (Linguistics, Visualization) EPSCoR for NSF

  3. External Connections Grid Chem (Ohio; Texas; Illinois; Louisiana) ParamChem (Illinois; Maryland; Florida) Teragrid (NSF Facility) Suragrid (Southeastern University Research Association) KyRON (Ky Research Optical Network)

  4. Cyber Infrastructure Plan for Kentucky Steering Committee (University, Industry, Government) Workshop: July 2009 Report: January 2010

  5. KyCI 2009 Cyberinfrastructure (CI) in Kentucky A Framework for Strategic Planning  At the request of the National Science Foundation, the Kentucky Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research has conducted a strategic planning exercise to support the development of Cyberinfrastructure in Kentucky. This report is the result of input by a multi-institutional steering committee and a workshop in which several different sectors of Kentucky society participated. This report covers the current state of cyberinfrastructure in the Commonwealth, and makes recommendations for augmenting it in the future. These recommendations are to be aligned with the future needs of Kentucky, such as energy production and consumption, increasing the effectiveness and efficiency of health services, improving resources to carry out research and providing better education, and promoting economic development. Prepared by: Jim Bottum, CI Consulting

  6. Cyber Infrastructure Components • Netware: • Broadband connections to the outside world • Hardware • Supercomputers; Data Storage • Software: • Middleware; Research programs • Wetware: • Expertise; Technical support

  7. Priorities • eHealth • Diagnostics; medical records,images • energy/environment • Smart grids; monitoring • education: • Course Sharing; Library depositories • economic development: • Knowledge industry

  8. Recommendations Build a ubiquitous network: (Universities; Community Colleges; Libraries; Schools; Medical Centers; Communities) Leverage external funding: NSF C2 (Cyber Connectivity); BTOP (Broadband Technical Opportunity Program).. from the Federal Department of Commerce, focused on connecting rural areas.

  9. Kentucky Networks

  10. Kentucky Educational Network

  11. Recommendations (ctd) Maintain high performance computing (already at UK and UofL) Develop applications software (e.g. for medical records and smart grids) Expand expertise for training and technical support

  12. First Step to the Future The creation of a Kentucky Cyberinfrastructure Coalition is proposed to effect collaboration and ensure that federal funds are most effectively spent to ensure long-term economic impact. Providing a robust, easily accessible cyberinfrastructure will enhance the state’s attractiveness to new businesses and organizations seeking relocation or a friendly place to get started.
