The US R&E community is approaching its next infrastructure refresh investment as an opportunity to develop end-to-end solutions for supporting data-intensive science that span organizational boundaries between campuses, regional networks and the national backbone during 2018. Several collaborative community efforts have been completed or are underway that will serve as input to the development of new core and edge architectures, and will facilitate conversations about how to evolve operations, business model and workforce development plans on an ecosystem-wide basis. This presentation will provide an overview of the effort.
