OR and SEE Programs • Each has a base budget of ~$3-3.5M/year • Funds both CAREER (Junior Faculty) and Unsolicited • Same deadlines as other DMII programs • Investments in 2001-2003 account for 30% of the budget in 2005 • Plan to maintain CAREER investments stable
Now, the Good News • Important to work on Multi-disciplinary Research • Multi-disciplinary Opportunities – – – – –
Mathematical Sciences Priority Sensors and Sensor Networks Human and Social Dynamics MUSES Multi-scale Modeling for Biological Systems
Multi-disciplinary Opportunities • Mathematical Sciences – Large Data Sets • e.g. Inference, Learning and real-time dynamic optimization
– Uncertainty • e.g. Decision-making in stochastic environments
– Complex systems • e.g. Modeling, control and optimization of multi-scale systems
– Submission to either Division of Math. Sciences or any participating Engineering Division
Sensor and Sensor Networks • 3 topical areas – – Design, materials, and concepts for new sensors and sensing systems – Sensor arrays – Interpretation and use of sensor data
• 3 award sizes – Investigators from same discipline $125k/yr, 3yrs – Small interdisciplinary team $250/yr, 3yrs – Large interdisciplinary groups $500k/yr, 5yrs
CyberInfrastructure: Whole > Sum of the Parts •CI Background •CI and Engineering: Why? •Some Views on CI •Layering for Engineering •Operations Research and Service Enterprise Eng •DMII Views
What is Cyberinfrastructure? • “Atkins report”
– Blue-ribbon panel, chaired by Daniel E. Atkins (Michigan)
• A national, reliable and dynamic, interoperable and integrated system of hardware, software, and data resources and services. • This new infrastructure would open the door to new types of scientific/engineering research and education. http://www.cise.nsf.gov/sci/reports/atkins.pdf
The CI Vision • Cyberinfrastructure (CI): a data, models, software, and physical infrastructure for research and education • Promote greater collaboration via shared resources (data, models, software, physical assets) • Why greater collaboration? – Improved resources for multi-disciplinary research – Engineering, a multi-disciplinary pursuit, stands to be a major beneficiary
DMII Vision of Cyberinfrastructure
CYBERPLATFORMS Grid-computing Interconnection-design, operating systems, faulttolerance, security, inter-operability, sensor networks
CYBERTOOLS Bridging domain needs with the cyber platform tools Grid-enabled modeling tools, Benchmarking tools, Implementation support, Interoperability between models/algorithms etc.
CYBERDOMAINS Domain-specific models and tools (USERS) Applications for critical service infrastructure, design, analysis
OR/SEE Perspective •
Domain-Specific Layer (CyberDomains) – Health care applications – Risk in critical service infrastructure (e.g. Electric Power) – Other applications of national need (e.g. security)
•
Domain-Neutral Layer (Cybertools) – – – – – –
•
Probabilistic Models (Markov Decision Models, Queuing Networks) Optimization (Linear, Integer, Graph, Combinatorial etc.) Simulation (Discrete-Event, Simulation-Optimization etc.) Integrative Models (Stochastic Optimization) Languages and Testbeds (Optimization, Simulation etc.) Interoperability of optimization and simulation
Platform Layer for Software Exchange (CyberPlatform) – Interoperability of software – Performance of online exchange

Dynamic Data Driven Application Systems • New data is infused into a model • E.g. Continual optimization • Compelling application is a must (e.g. real-time decisions in advanced manufacturing • Solicitation will be out in the near future
Healthcare Delivery
Agenda Setting Efforts WTEC OR in Healthcare Delivery Engineering and the Health Care System: NAE/IOM Project
From Problem Statement to Vision of a Transformed Heath Care System IOM Reports:
90,000 deaths/yr
55% receive recommended treatment
