Welcome to CISC ----Joint Center for Intelligent Spatial Computing |
The joint Center for Intelligent Spatial Computing (CISC) is established on March 1, 2006 within the College of Science (COS), and under the direction of Drs. Paul Houser and Chaowei Phil Yang (Co-Directors) and Dr. David Wong (Chief Scientist). CISC is established on our research of spatial computing and water studies and collaborations with our domestic and international agencies/partners, including NASA, NSF, NPS, EPA, FGDC, Peking University, Wuhan University, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and HeiLongJiang Bureau of Surveying and Mapping. Targeted to be an international innovator and leader, CISC's research is focused on spatial computing technologies and the water sciences.
CISC's computing facility includes about 100TB storage and
10TFlops computing power |
|
and the
connection to LamdaRail and SURAGrid. The infrastructure
supports our research of:
1) fast distributed geospatial information processing
2) geospatial middleware
3) near real-time traffic routing
4) grid enabling dust-storm and public health
simulations |
|
5)
global water cycle studies, and
6) many others, such as Chesapeake Bay Restoration model
simulations.
CISC's research and development serves the nation's
needs of geosciences: for example, the NASA Earth Science
Gateway (ESG, http://esg.gsfc.nasa.gov/), which serves
the NASA Earth Sciences community. The Earth Information
Exchange (EIE, http://eie.esipfed.org/),
which serves the Earth Science Information Partnership with 120 agencies and institutions. |
