1. Global Cyberinfrastructure Inventory System (GLOCIS)

2. GLOCIS A web-accessible database of cyberinfrastructure resources network circuits measurement infrastructure major scientific facilities/instrumentation computing facilities, etc. A GIS mapping system to assist in visualization of state of global resources

3. GLOCIS Access Project/Resource Editing System http://www.gloriad.org/cgi-bin/gloci/updates/editresource (need username of irnc and password of 5tops) GIS/Mapping System http://www.gloriad.org/cgi-bin/gloci/maps/gen.mapit.cgi

4. Project/Resource Editing System All editing via web-based forms Applications exist for adding/editing: Projects (ex: TransLight, GLORIAD, AMP, LHC, GEANT, NLR, Abilene, etc.) Resources (ex: network circuits, measurement boxes, science facilities, instrumentation, computational facilities, etc.) Supplemental files for user authentication, carriers, locations/facilities, mapping regions, resource owners, etc. All information is “date-stamped” enabling reporting/mapping for different time periods

11. GLOCIS Mapping System Choose Projects from which to map resources (circuits, etc.) Date resources are operational Center of Map Size of Map (8 - 30 inches) Map Projection - select one

12. GLOCIS Mapping System Color Scheme

13. GLOCIS Mapping System Choose region of Map - example: entire world, US, North America, Europe, US-Asia, Russia, etc. It is very simple to set up new regions in regions database (for ex: Korea, California, US East Coast, Netherlands, etc.) Select to draw national and state boundaries. Select to draw rivers Detail shown on maps Select to draw lat/long lines on map Click to generate map

29. Technology Used All Public Domain Tools Running on Apple XServer G5, running Mac OSX 10.3 Mapping Tools from NSF-Supported Generic Mapping Tools (GMT) Other tools: MySQL, Perl, DBI/mysql, ImageMagick, other F&P-developed software

30. Summary Prototype system available for testing, further development It is a rough prototype - potentially useful for motivating discussion on a shared, globally accessible, useful inventory and GIS tool for tracking and planning cyberinfrastructure deployment Effort planned during summer 2005 to migrate to Java/Flash-based application

31. Summary Need to add map legend and circuit/arc labels Working on incorporating “living earth” data so that images are better “colored” (with real satellite imagery data) Need better method of adjusting arc “angles” (currently, can add intermediate plot points to change arc paths)

32. Summary Need to get other people, projects, organizations involved in testing, supplying data (for example, all GLORIAD domestic R&E networks, NLR, GEANT, etc.), improving data model Need to adequately represent broader cyberinfrastructure components (not just networks) – currently working, for example, to add all AMP measurement boxes deployed across the globe
