Rapid Prototyping Capabilities * The overall goal of the NASA Rapid Prototyping Capability is to speed the evaluation of potential uses of NASA research products and technologies to improve future operational systems by reducing the time to access, configure, and assess the effectiveness of NASA products and technologies. The infrastructure to support the RPC is thus expected to provide the capability to rapidly evaluate innovative methods of linking science observations. * Robert Moorhead (MSU/GRI) – principal investigator Computational infrastructure + collaborative environment

RPC in an example of e-Science Many, many more, in particular in biology & medicine System-Level Science is the broad understanding of how complex, multiphenomena physical system behave and how their constituent components interact and interrelate. System-level Science integrates not only different disciplines but also, typically, software systems, data, computing resources, and people. System-level science is usually a team pursuit. Data comes from different sources, different groups develop component models, team members provide specialized expertise, and the often substantial computing and data resources required for success are themselves diverse and distributed.
