Cyberinfrastructure Release 1 Construction

The construction effort of the OOI CI commences October 12, 2009 and will continue through the summer of 2014. The CI deliverables will be developed and deployed across five releases. Release 1 will be deployed into production March 2011. Each release has 7 iterations of 8 weeks duration. Iterations 1 and 2 make up the Inception period, leading to the Life Cycle Objectives (LCO) milestone review; iterations 3 and 4 make up the Elaboration period, leading to the Life Cycle Architecture (LCA) milestone review; iteration 5, 6 and 7 make up the Construction period, leading to Initial Operating Capability (IOC) and review. The subsequent Transition period brings the fully integrated release into operations.

CI Development Calendar

Cyberinfrastructure Construction Start

The OOI program started in September 2009 with the CI construction effort commencing in early October 2009. The OOI CI partnership is holding its team meeting to finalize plans and coordinate the details associated with Release 1 - "Data Distribution Network" outside Boulder CO in early September.

• OOI CI Kick-Off Meeting, Sept 9-11, 2009, summarizing progress on the designs and prototype investigations to date and finalize construction plans

Current Pre-Construction Prototype Investigations

The emphasis of OOI CI development during the pilot period (Jan 2009 continuing through Dec 2009) is on risk reduction through prototyping and on getting ready for construction. Many of the prototype projects follow a 6 week iteration cycle.

• Overview of Prototypes: Table listing OOI prototypes and their descriptions
  • Prototypes Integration and Dependencies (historical)
  • The Prototypes are targeted to reduce the Risk that complex components of the OOI pose to the system functionality
• Ongoing Prototypes:
  Agent Contract Network,
  Cloud Provisioning Environment,
  Collaboration Tools,
  Data Exchange,
  Global Load Balancing,
  Messaging Service,
  OMF Collaboration,
  OSSE,
  Semantic Framework Integration Prototype,
  SQLstream Prototype,
  Unstructured Grid Services (with Hyrax integration)
• Completed Prototypes: Data Distribution Network Version 1 and others
