Background NSF Software Infrastructure for Sustained Innovation (SI2) program solicitation states that software is "central to NSF's vision of a Cyberinfrastructure Framework for 21st Century Science and Engineering (CIF21)” Ongoing recommendations to and efforts by OCI / NSF to invest more in NSF All of us can point to software products that we found very useful and turned out to be not well sustained

Two EAGER awards Clemson - Jim Bottum – looking largely to create catalog and taxonomy of NSF-funded software IU – looking at a very few large scale projects that have enough history to seem successful and offer instructive examples Two efforts are coordinating carefully

Sustained software examples Taking a case study approach (primarily) Likely candidates to study: – R – TeraGrid/XSEDE – Kuali – MyProxy and its successors Others that you would like to suggest? Immediate next steps are to have a survey asking the community what are their favorite examples of well sustained software

Absolutely Shameless Plugs XSEDE12: Bridging from the eXtreme to the campus and beyond | July 16-20, 2012 | Chicago The XSEDE12 Conference will be held at the beautiful Intercontinental Chicago (Magnificent Mile) at 505 N. Michigan Ave. The hotel is in the heart of Chicago's most interesting tourist destinations and best shopping. Watch for Calls for Participation – coming early January 5
