  1. BIRN: Where We Have Been, Where We are Going. Carl Kesselman BIRN Principal Investigator Professor of Industrial and Systems Engineering Information Sciences Institute Fellow Viterbi School of Engineering University of Southern California

  2. Biomedical Informatics Research Network • Infrastructure and services to support collaborative biomedical research • Established by NCRR in 2001 • Restructured in 2008

  3. BIRN Approach • Use-case driven requirements, bottom up design • Well defined roadmaps, features, functions • Follow capabilities approach from TeraGrid • Promote reuse across communities • Move to software and services model • BIRN not defined by the “rack” • Outreach to new communities • More than the testbeds

  4. Technical Approach • Bottom up, not top down • Focus on user requirements, what they want to do • Create solutions, factor out common requirements • Capability model includes software and process • Avoid “Big Design up Front” (BDUF)

  5.

  6. Common User Needs • Data sharing • Among well defined communities, e.g. NPRC • Facilitate sharing with the public • Different data types • Infrastructure, e.g. grid FTP for sharing • Data Integration • Mediation across data sources / query • Security • Registration, credentials

  7. BIRN Services • Website, • Email lists • WIKI (Confluence) • Service Registry • Source Repository • User Registration (GAMA) • Credential Access (MyProxy)

  8. BIRN Capabilities (Now)

  9. BIRN Capabilities (Coming Soon)

  10. Operational Security Capabilities • User registration • Portal interface for users • Administrator notification system • Credential Management • X.509 Credential to all registered users • Manage long term credential for user • Manual CA for host credentials

  11. Operational Data Capabilities • Data location • Bulk data movement of large data sets • Bulk movement of many files

  12. Operational Collaboration Capabilities • Capability registry • Project membership management • Project specific collaboration space • Wiki

  13. New BIRN website: www.birncomunity.org

  14. BIRN Map

  15. New BIRN User Groups • Nonhuman Primate Research Centers Consortium • Three projects are RO1s from the PA • Northwestern – Schizophrenia MRI and tool • UCI – Ontology project • UCSD – HeadIT – Electrophysiology data and tool • Cardio Vascular Research Grid • National Heart Lung & Blood Institute

  16. New BIRN User Groups • Preliminary interactions • CTSAs at Harvard, Chicago • Baylor cryoEM • MGH Stroke • Sunnybrook IRCCI • National Eye Institute • National Institute of Neurological Disorders

  17. Agenda • Case Studies: • Nonhuman Primate Research Center Consortium • fBIRN and Multisite Studies • BIRN and CTSC • BIRN Community Service Overview • Panel Discussion • BIRN Capabilities • Moving Large Amounts of Data, • Integrated Querying Across Disparate Data • Security Solutions • How the Capabilities Fit Together
