Budget Discussions ------------------ Comment ------- The work described here benefits from related activities funded by Indiana University from a $1M per year grant from the Lilly foundation. See http://www.communitygrids.iu.edu This is how I am able to fund some of students whose theses were on collaborative systems and were part of activities in PET1 now assigned to HPTi. So budgets described are directed at the described efforts with synergy to related work on portals for high energy physics and earthquake science and collaboration funded by Lilly. No money goes to Marlon Pierce as he is funded separately Marlon will however play a major role ET 016 Gateway Infrastructure Enhancements This budget funds 2 students with staff support funded through non PET funds The activity can be split into two if necessary (options) I enclose a budget for $34975.88 (nominal $35K) each covering Total budget is $69951.76 (nominal $70K) a student, travel and a PC a) Integrate Web Service standards into Gateway using new Java-XML integration $34975.88 b) Use latest middle tier practice (Enterprise Javabeans) to replace middle tier component architecture developed at NPAC before EJB became $34975.88 a) plus b) $69951.76 CSM 011 Collaborative Gateway--ICE Integrated PSE This funds some of Fox's time and 3 students for a total budget of $100,063.32 The effort can be split into two a) Gateway Workflow and ICE coupling for remote visualization $41123.95 b) Integration with Collaborative Portal $58939.37 CSM 012 Gateway PSE Support As this involves support of Gateway system, here we put staff scientists at IU (mix of web design and software engineer at 35% total effort) plus one student. Web support salary is $40K per year and software engineer is $50K per year The total is $60,355.78 (nominal $60K)
