Cyberinfrastructure Release 1

The OOI Cyberinfrastructure project Construction award commenced 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 phase, leading to the Life Cycle Objectives (LCO) milestone review; iterations 3 and 4 make up the Elaboration phase, leading to the Life Cycle Architecture (LCA) milestone review; iterations 5, 6 and 7 make up the Construction phase, leading to Initial Operating Capability (IOC) and review. The subsequent Transition phase brings the fully integrated release into operations. The subsequent Release's Inception phase begins towards the end of the Construction phase of the preceding Release.

OOI CI Development Team Organization

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

Pre-Construction Prototype Investigations

The emphasis of OOI CI development during the pilot period (Jan 2009 continuing through Dec 2009) was 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 Selected Notes from CI Risk Management Plan that complex components of the OOI pose to the system functionality
Pilot period Prototypes:
Agent Contract Network,Cloud Provisioning Environment,Collaboration Tools,Data Distribution Network Version 1, Data Exchange,Global Load Balancing,Messaging Service,OMF Collaboration,OSSE,Semantic Framework Integration Prototype,SQLstream Prototype,Unstructured Grid Services (with Hyrax integration) and others
Activities: Field Deployment of the OSSE (Observing System Simulation Experiment) prototype, Nov 2-13 2009, mid-Atlantic Bight
