ESC Technology

What do we do?

• Develop use cases by framing the user stories into workable scenarios to gather requirements from.
• Based on use cases/requirements, define the scope of ESC cyberinfrastructure (taking into consideration/input from other tracks)
• Identify stakeholders.
• Determine key features/requirements based on the use cases.
• Analyze existing cyberinfrastructures (experience, lesson learns, common patterns, etc), following other efforts such as EarthCube, identify their gaps and shortcoming.
• Develop ESC architecture (data, process and technology).
• Identify existing technologies and prior art that meet the capabilities of the ESC.
• Anything else?

How do we do it?

• Rely on input from other tracks (user stories, sociological impacts, programmatic constraints).
• Include relevant features from Earth Cube/ESC charrettes.
• Leverage ESDS RA and development experience.
• Propose scope, stakeholders, key features and architecture solutions.
• Coordinate with other working groups and clusters on relevant technologies.
• Any suggestions?
