APRIL 30 – MAY 1, 2018. Maxine Brown, co-Principal Investigator of the NSF SAGE2™ award and director of the Electronic Visualization Laboratory (EVL) at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC), attended the 2018 NSF Software Infrastructure for Sustained Innovation (SI2) Principal Investigator (PI) Workshop, subtitled “Towards a National Software Ecosystem,” which was held Monday April 30 and Tuesday May 1, 2018, in Washington D.C.
One purpose of the Workshop was to discover and perhaps leverage the work others are doing with sustainable software to see if there are ways the PIs can collaborate with one another and/or interface their software. Another purpose was to hear talks from some of the more mature and successful projects to learn best practices for developing usable and sustainable software. All participants had to bring posters of their work and give a one-minute lightening talk before they put their posters on display, so as to entice attendees to come see their poster.
In Maxine’s opinion, SAGE2 was one of the more unique NSF funded projects, as it’s a collaboration framework that enables people to interact with local and remote people and their data, all at the same time. Some of the other projects focused on security, scientific gateways, mathematical libraries, etc.
The SAGE2 poster (DOI: 10.6084/m9.figshare.6174071.v1) and lightening talk (DOI: 10.6084/m9.figshare.6169574) are available online.
SAGE2 receives major funding from the National Science Foundation (award #ACI-1441963).
