DATA SERVERS FOR ENVIRONMENTAL DATA

A complete list of papers and presentations on this topic can be found on the BWC Data Server Presentations and Publications page.

Recognizing the importance of partnerships between computer science leaders and physical science to stimulate developments within ecoinformatics, we have begun development of an advanced Ameriflux data server. Through close interaction between computer scientists and carbon scientists, we are building new tools and approaches to benefit regional and global scale analysis efforts, as well as the general e-Science community.

CYBERSECURITY FOR OPEN SCIENCE

DOE sites, as key participants in open science collaborations, need methods of participating as first-class entities and resources in the virtual organizations while protecting DOE resources from hackers. Protecting the facilities and detecting malicious attacks without adversely affecting scientific missions is particularly challenging given the high performance requirements, global user population, and diversity of custom applications and software the projects require. Securing DOE Office of Science's high-value resources in this environment requires continual vigilance and adaptation.
