Dear CISE community,
I would like to bring your attention to a new program that the Office of
Cyberinfrastructure is leading for the National Science Foundation,
including investments and participation from CISE: Software
Infrastructure for Sustained Innovation (SI^2):

<http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=503489&org=NSF&sel_org=XCUT&from=fund>;
To get the ball rolling, just out is a Call for Exploratory Workshop
Proposals for Scientific Software Innovation Institutes (S2I2):
http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2010/nsf10050/nsf10050.jsp?org=NSF Through these
kinds of exploratory workshops, NSF wants to work with the community to
help shape and realize the vision for SI^2.
For these software institutes to succeed in modernizing the conduct of
science for the future, it is critical that we in the computing
community bring our expertise in software?models, languages, techniques,
tools, methods?to the software challenges faced by the broader science
and engineering community. It is also a terrific opportunity for
researchers in software engineering, programming languages, formal
methods, compilers and optimization, software systems, etc. to work with
scientists in other disciplines. Their software demands will only
continue to grow in size and complexity as computer and networking
technologies advance, as data collections become more voluminous, and as
scientific partnerships span the globe.
Thank you,
Jeannette Wing
CISE AD
