Application Deadline May 18, 2015
* The Marshall Space Flight Center is offering Faculty Fellowships for qualified STEM
faculty at U.S. colleges and universities to conduct research with NASA
colleagues during a ten-week residential program in Huntsville, Alabama.
* Faculty Fellows will receive stipends of $15,000 (Assistant Professor, Research
Faculty), $17,000 (Associate Professor), or $19,000 (Professor).

NASA has awarded 26 grants totaling $9.9 million to help bolster the capacity and competitiveness of 28 states and territories (jurisdictions) in the area of technology research and development.

Through its Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR) program, NASA awards Research Infrastructure Development (RID) grants every three to five years to jurisdictions that have not, in the past, participated equitably in aerospace and aerospace-related research activities.

The grants have a three-year period of performance, with renewal each year contingent on annual performance. Each awardee receives $125,000 per year, with the exception of Hawaii and South Carolina, each which receive $150,000 a year in order to also provide funding to the territories that fall under their program purview (Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands, respectively).

Scientific workflows allow researchers to declaratively describe potentially complex applications that are composed of individual computational components. Workflows also include a description of the data and control dependencies between the components. This talk will describe example workflows in various science domains including astronomy, bioinformatics, earthquake science, gravitational-wave physics, and others. It will examine the challenges faced by workflow management systems when executing complex workflows in distributed and high-performance computing environments. In particular the talk will describe the Pegasus Workflow Management System developed at USC/ISI (http://pegasus.isi.edu). Pegasus bridges the scientific domain and the execution environment by automatically mapping high-level workflow descriptions onto distributed resources. As part of this process, Pegasus may transform the workflow based on the workflow properties and the target architecture. The talk will describe the optimizations and techniques developed and used within the Pegasus system to efficiently manage data and computations across heterogeneous computing environments. Pegasus can execute workflows on a laptop, a campus cluster, grids, and clouds. It can handle workflows with a single task or millions of tasks and has been used to manage workflows accessing and generating Terabytes of data. The talk will also look at the challenges and opportunities that upcoming, extreme-scale machines bring to workflow management systems.
