... A cyberinfrastructure (CI) that facilitates the timely dissemination of research results, experimental and simulated data, and simulation tools throughout the combustion community and extends into the engi neering design process is necessary for shortening the time lines for com bustion research (CR)

From page 2...
... A cyberinfrastructure is an integrated ensemble consisting of software tools, computing and communication capabilities, and specialized personnel who distribute computing, information, and communication technologies to facilitate the sharing of information, data, software, and computing resources across a community. Examples of such an ensemble are the nanoHUB,1 a science gateway developed and operated by the National Science Foundation (NSF)

... through examination of existing CI in combustion research and education and CI experience in other, analogous fields. Evaluate the accessibility, sustainability, and economic models for various approaches, and identify positive and cautionary experiences; 3.

... At least three individual outreach teams should work closely with a central team: one outreach team connecting with the many chemistry‑oriented subcommunities providing fuel data, one team con‑ necting with the reacting‑flow and turbulent‑flame community, and one team ensuring that the cyberinfrastructure meets the needs of the industrial engine and fuels R&D community. These outreach teams will be responsible for interfaces, specialized software tools, and the devel ‑ opment of formats and methods to handle different types of input data, and for the promotion of the new CI within their target communities.

... as a method for the dissemination of the most current information, both through traditional means and through online workshops, courses, symposia, and other presentations -- an advanced training program. Recommendation 5: The combustion cyberinfrastructure should be designed to serve the chemistry and education communities as well as the research community, and to integrate these communities with advances in computer science research and education.

... 6 TRANSFORMING COMBUSTION RESEARCH THROUGH CYBERINFRASTRUCTURE national priorities including energy security, geopolitical stability, and environmental sustainability, there are clear benefits to advancing a strongly supported cyberinfrastructure. This report attempts to give the strong justifications that are needed to invest R&D funds in a combustion cyberinfrastructure.
