Indiana University Pervasive Technology Institute – briefing for CACR Craig A. Stewart Executive Director, PTI; Associate Dean, Research Technologies, OVPIT; Adjunct professor, School of Informatics & Computing ORCID ID 0000-0003-2423-9019

We were writing proposals like it was 1999 (it was) The Indiana Pervasive Computing RESearch Initiative (IPCRES) – first of several large grants from Lilly Endowment, Inc. to IU “…a partnership between Indiana University and the Lilly Endowment to develop a world-class research and development capability in Indiana in some of the fundamental technologies that will drive the 21st century information economy, and an initiative focused on developing the growth of the information economy in Indiana.” Led to the creation of the Pervasive Technology Labs and funding that helped build up the IU School of Informatics and Computing What were we thinking/smoking with that name and the budget plans? And where can I get some more of that?

Evolution of PTL and PTI $30M first round funding for PTL in 1999. 6 Labs: Community Grids Labs Open Source Lab Advanced Network Management Lab KAPLab (Knowledge Acquisition and Projection) Visualization and Interactive Spaces Lab Scientific Visualization Lab $15M second round funding in 2008 to transform PTL to IU PTI – the IU Pervasive Technology Institute. With this came realignment of PTI into three centers: Center for Applied Cybersecurity Research Data to Insight Center Digital Science Center Lilly awards are now complete, and PTI is sustained by IU and federal funding. Presidential commitment to sustain PTI remains

What is PTI today? Leadership: Craig Stewart, Executive Director Beth Plale, Science Director Afffiliated Centers: Center for Applied Cybersecurity Research – Von Welch, Director Data To Insight Center – Beth Plale, Director Digital Science Center – Geoffrey Fox, Director National Center for Genome Analysis Support – Bill Barnett, Director Research Technologies Division of UITS – Craig Stewart IU Subunits involved: College of Arts and Sciences Maurer School of Law OVPIT SOIC

PTI accomplishments as of end of Lilly Cultivating innovation in science and scholarship. PTL+PTI together: 1,796 publications 73 Invention disclosures: 5 licensed; 2 patents Fostering student engagement in research and translational scholarship. 202 students – 63 Ph.D. and postdocs; 68 MS; 21 undergraduates Nurturing new jobs and new businesses in the state of Indiana Helped attract Cigital (a market leader in cybersecurity) to Bloomington ChalkLabs in Bloomington, a report-generating software developer Bloominglabs in Bloomington, a ‘makerspace’ of rented space where developers gather to build projects Precise Path Robotics in Indianapolis, manufactures robotic lawn mowers Wisdom Tools in Bloomington, conducts educational research and instructional design Achieving increased grant activity Total of $172,141,076 over 15 years - $36,039,591 (PTL) + $136,101,485 (PTI)

Job creation in Indiana

Going forward Some potential areas of innovation: Big Data and textual analysis Cybersecurity Polar research Cloud computing and “long tail of science” Sustainability Riding two horses

Big Data and Text Analysis HathiTrust is a consortium of academic and research institutions, offering a collection of millions of titles digitized from libraries around the world. The founding members are: University of Michigan, Indiana University, University of California, and University of Virginia. The HathiTrust Research Center (HTRC) enables computational access for nonprofit and educational users to published works in the public domain and, in the future, on limited terms to works in-copyright from the HathiTrust. The HTRC is a collaborative research center launched jointly by Indiana University and the University of Illinois, along with the HathiTrust Digital Library, to help meet the technical challenges of dealing with massive amounts of digital text that researchers face by developing cutting-edge software tools and cyberinfrastructure to enable advanced computational access to the growing digital record of human knowledge.

A national collaboration of 4 supercomputing centers, led by IU High performance systems for analysis: Mason (large memory), Big Red II, Karst Software support and gateways to lower barriers to access Galaxy workflows, Assembly (Trinity), annotation and other downstream analyses Research design and bioinformatics software consulting Research data storage Reference data from national repositories, project data storage, data archiving and publishing Transport via Internet2 at 100 Gigabits/second Globus online and other file transfer and file transformation tools If the word cyberinfrastructure isn’t paved into your heads yet…

IU Polar Research – Forward Observer

Our situation – riding two horses A key point for CACR is more focus on services to IU and Indiana going forward Permission to use kindly granted by Ridin-Hy Ranch PO Box 369 Warrensburg NY 12885

What next? IUPTI is about inventing the future IUPTI is an important vehicle for Research, development, deployment activity that crosses particularly academic/non-academic boundaries R, D&D that crosses interdisciplinary boundaries Some reshaping of our message and our mission going forward What do we want to do going forward? What do we want to do / focus on and what do we do particularly well Create a capability that researchers at IU wish to associate with Become a partner of choice for construction awards Create innovative new (service) capabilities Translation of software to practice – quality delivery well enough usable that it can be used by domain scientists who are not computational science experts More impact on state A role for PTI in IU grant challenges? Branding: IUPTI (Indiana University Pervasive Technology Institute) – parallel with IUNI

We Are Living the Myth of Sisyphus "The struggle itself...is enough to fill a [person’s] heart. One must imagine Sisyphus happy.” –Albert Camus Sisyphys (1548-1549) by Titian, Prado Museum, Madrid, Spain http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Punishment_sisyph.jpg This work is in the public domain in the United States, and those countries with a copyright term of life of the author plus 100 years or fewer.

Discussion? One comment on one of the things I am most proud of in my role with PTI Contact: pti@iu.edu Or me: stewart@iu.edu And I will make for CACR staff the same offer I make for everyone in RT
