In-Person Invited Sessions

Cloud Labs: A Conversation about Implications for Libraries and Research Data Management

Monday, Mar. 28, 4:15–5:00 pm PT
Keith Webster, Dean of University Libraries, Carnegie Mellon University
Clifford Lynch, Executive Director, CNI

At the Fall 2021 CNI Member Meeting, a team from Carnegie Mellon University and Emerald Cloud Lab gave a high-level presentation on cloud lab technology generally and on Carnegie Mellon’s strategic initiative to build a dedicated cloud lab to support its institutional community. For those who did not see the presentation, the video is available and is important background to this session. Watch “Carnegie Mellon University’s Cloud Lab Project.”

It is clear that the adoption of cloud lab technology at scale has broad implications for research data management practices and the role of the library in supporting these practices; it may also open up additional new roles for the library. We’ll have a conversation to explore the initial thinking about these issues at CMU. We will also speculate a bit about issues and requirements that will likely arise if we see significant adoption of this technology by multiple leading research institutions.

The LIS (Library and Information Science) Education and Data Science Integrated Network Group (LEADING) is a Laura Bush 21st Century Librarian National Digital Infrastructures and Initiatives project, supported by the Institute of Museum and Library Services. LEADING is preparing a diverse, nation-wide cohort of LIS doctoral students and early/mid-career librarians for data science endeavors. LEADING ’21 included 24 Fellows, partner members and mentors from libraries, archives, and related initiatives across the U.S., and core team-members four key hubs: Drexel University, OCLC, Montana State University, and the University of California San Diego. This presentation will provide a brief overview of LEADING’s structure and feature LEADING fellows who will give brief summaries of their data science projects. The wrap-up discussion will also highlight plans for LEADING ’22. Read more about the project.


Towards an Open Global Cyberinfrastructure Enabling Digital Research

Tuesday, Mar. 29, 9:00–10:00 am PT
Frank Wuerthwein, Director, San Diego Supercomputer Center

Research in data-intensive fields is a team sport. Teams are increasingly both multi-disciplinary and multi-institutional, depending on ever more rapid access to ever larger and more heterogeneous data from locations all over the world. Wuerthwein will describe how innovations in cyberinfrastructure across multiple projects are building interoperable global data and compute federations that address these challenges. He will cover both what exists today, what is emerging within the next couple years, and what the team aspires to long term. Along the way, he will provide examples of various sciences that use these global compute and data federations they are building. This session is an update to and continuation of Larry Smarr’s 2018 closing plenary at CNI “Towards a High-Performance National Research Platform Enabling Digital Research.”
