- Knowledge extraction. Knowledge extraction encompasses a variety of techniques-such as data mining, visualization and using basic concepts from computation, geometry and topology that help investigators find what is most important in the nearly infinite amounts of data from sensors, telescopes, satellites, the Internet and surveys. Combining underlying concepts with different types of data from multiple sources, high-bandwidth communications, and tera- to petascale computation power, scientists and engineers can make sense of today's massive volumes of data.
- Interacting elements. Analyzing the flow of electricity or information across the power grid or Internet, describing protein folding and unfolding, and finding principles for scaling from the quantum to the nano to the macro scales, require scientists and engineers to understand interacting systems. Such systems--ranging from atomic particles to galaxies and from computer networks to societies--are at the heart of many science and engineering challenges, and their understanding and control are major sources of innovation. A large number of interacting elements, random interactions and aggregate or emergent phenomena are key factors in such systems. CDI will improve our ability to predict and deduce interactions in complex systems to better understand, design and control them.
- Computational experimentation. Computational experimentation allows insight into complex, real-world systems such as hurricanes, nerve synapse activity, or the Big Bang, by enabling the creation of a virtual description. Simulation and other dynamic modeling techniques allow us to experiment with complex systems in ways that would be unimaginable in the real world. It also lets us guide real-world operations and experimentation in cases that have potential for unforeseen or extreme events. CDI will provide new modeling techniques ranging from mathematical formulations to multiscale simulation techniques.
- Virtual environments. Virtual environments are important mechanisms to enhance discovery, learning and innovation. They permit collaboration among diverse populations spread across geographic distances and at different times. Scheduling and operation of distributed facilities and sensor arrays, data extraction and analysis, international, real-time comparisons of global climate models, and injecting discovery and innovative environments into learning and training all use virtual environments. CDI will develop new techniques for building and utilizing virtual environments, especially in the context of cyberinfrastructure.
- Educating researchers and students in computational discovery. The promise of these new technologies, as well as their diffusion into other segments of the economy, will not be realized without education. CDI will integrate computational discovery techniques into the basic education of all scientists and engineers as well as development of new techniques for using computational discovery in all areas. Special focus will be placed on using virtual environments and cyberinfrastructure at all education levels. By enhancing human cognition and perception addressing complexity, computational tools provide an essential component to workforce development.

No problem - talking with you was more interesting than the first
presentation :)
It is always nice to meet the person behind the mailing list.
Thanks for mentioning by blog at your talk!
By the way my talks were recorded and available here in case someone
wants more info:

I' m sorry that I didn' t realize there was a CHED session on
communication that paralleled the CINF session. I hope that I didn 't
make you late by directing you to our session.
Incidentally, I' ve had a chance to look at your very interesting Useful
Chemistry blog. I plan to talk about it as part of a lectu re I 'll be
giving in Columbus, Ohio on May 8.

I think that this is worth sharing with the larger group.

They also have a nice approach to collaborative research. Essentially
it's all open and an example is at

along with a blog describing individual experiments
