It is widely accepted that CI is playing an important role in transforming the nature of science and will be critical to addressing the grand challenges of the 21st century. However, it is also critical for CI to evolve beyond HPC into a holistic and comprehensive ecosystem that incorporates all aspects of research, education, workforce development, outreach, etc., and is both balanced and integrated. Such a CI should have a broad and transformative impact on both science and on society in general. To realize this bold CI vision, the NSF Advisory Committee on Cyberinfrastructure has constituted 6 task forces focusing on (1) Grand Challenge Communities, (2) HPC (Clouds, Grids), (3) Data and Visualization, (4) Software, (5) Campus Bridging, and (6) Education Workforce. The goal of this BOF is to present this CI vision and the task forces to the community, and to get community inputs on requirements and challenges.
