International Interactive Computing Collaboration ---- ### <code>2i2c</code> Vision Principles * Align with research/education/service mission * Share best practices and code * Collaborate instead of compete * Protect open collaboration toolchain ---- ### Value Propositions * Ubiquitous interactive computing * Perfect Service Level Agreement * No vendor lock-in --- # Scenarios ---- # Scenarios for: 1. Higher education 2. Teams 3. Publishing ---- ## Scenario 1: Higher education * Ubiquitous interactive computing * LMS, SSO, data integrations * _Last mile_ for computing in courses * Train the trainers strategies ---- ### Example: Syzygy  <iframe src="https://www.google.com/maps/d/embed?mid=1nzSAGLSn8eWdfQ6K7zTw-31h82I&hl=en" width="640" height="480"></iframe> ----  ---- # Syzygy Demo ---- ### Example: UC Berkeley * [Berkeley Institute for Data Science](https://bids.berkeley.edu/) * [Berkeley Division of Data Sciences](https://data.berkeley.edu/) * [Data8](http://data8.org/) ---- ### Lessons Learned  * Transdisciplinary transformation underway * Scalability strategy identified * Curriculum redesign challenge remains * ==Who should own interactive computing stack?==  ::::info #### Education empowers research ::::  ---- ### Scenario 2: Teams * Curated interactive HPC * Perfect-barrier data integration * Explosively collaborative * Accelerate knowledge mobilization ---- ### Examples * [Pangeo](https://pangeo.io/) * [Callysto](https://callysto.ca/) * [QuantEcon](https://quantecon.org/) * [bcdata](http://workshop.bcdata.ca/2018/) * [Data Science for Albertans](http://www.cybera.ca/services/data-science/data-science-albertans/) * [UBC Scientific Software Seminar](https://github.com/ubcs3/) * [iReceptor](http://ireceptor.irmacs.sfu.ca/) * [2018 Calgary PIMS Datathon](https://imstatsbee.github.io/calgaryr/datathon.html) * [Phytoplankton Photophysiology Workshop](https://gitlab.com/tjryankeogh/phytophotoutils) * Many, many, many, many more examples.... ----  ![Pangeo](https://wwejubwfy.s3.amazonaws.com/Pangeo__Pangeo_documentation-2019-10-31-20-11-11.jpg) ----  ![Callysto](https://wwejubwfy.s3.amazonaws.com/Callysto_Canada__Building_tomorrows_digital_leaders.-2019-10-31-20-13-39.jpg) ---- ### Lessons Learned * Interactive computing: a collaboration nexus * Academy-Industry-Government-Nonprofit * Interdisciplinary * Citizen science; Data democracy * Teams have heterogeneous requirements * SSO, IP, data privacy * CPU, GPU, FPGA, storage, memory * Hub lifetimes: ephemeral to enduring ---- ### Scenario 3: Publishing * [MyBinder](https://mybinder.org/) * [JupyterBook](https://jupyterbook.org/intro.html) * [NeuroLibre](https://conp-pcno.github.io/) * [QuantEcon](https://quantecon.org/) ----  <img src="https://wwejubwfy.s3.amazonaws.com/Basics__QuantEcon_DataScience_2019-10-31_11-39-48.png" width="80%" height="80%"> ----  <img src="https://wwejubwfy.s3.amazonaws.com/Screen_Shot_2019-10-31_at_9.16.11_PM-2019-10-31-21-17-35.jpg" width="80%" height="80%"> ----  ![Acta](https://wwejubwfy.s3.amazonaws.com/Acta_Mathematica__IML-2019-10-31-20-53-05.jpg) ---- ## [Nteracta](https://nteracta.org) * Interactive computing format journals * Open education resource (OER) infrastructure --- # Partners ----  <img src="https://ten.blue/uploads/jupyter-splash.png" alt="Jupyter splash" width ="800" align="center"> <section data-background-color="#ffffff"> </section> ---- <img src="https://ten.blue/uploads/pims-large-logo.png" alt="PIMS splash" width ="800" align="center">  ---- <img src="https://ten.blue/uploads/plotly-splash.png" alt="Plotly splash" width ="800" align="center"> ---- ## Infrastructure Providers + Amazon Web Services + Google + Microsoft + Local metal ::::info 2i2c enables interactive computing hosted on commercial and local cloud infrastructure. :::: ---- ## Who else?  ---- <iframe src="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdhMwDFUFFXGfcRNYk6m3SanRIQZynuqFFliBofkuXNK7SIWg/viewform?embedded=true" width="640" height="659" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0">Loading...</iframe>  --- # Business Model ---- ## Startup funding sources * 🇨🇦 [New Frontiers Research Fund](https://www.canada.ca/en/innovation-science-economic-developmentnews/2018/12/launch-of-the-new-frontiers-in-research-fund.html) * 🇨🇦 [Strategic Innovation Fund Stream 5 (SIF5)](https://www.ic.gc.ca/eic/site/125.nsf/eng/00017.htl) * 🇨🇦 [Digital Technology Supercluster](https://www.digitalsupercluster.ca/) * 🇺🇸 [NSF Convergence Accelerator](https://nsf.gov/pubs/2019/nsf19065/nsf19065.jsp) * 🇺🇸 🇫🇷 🇪🇺...? * Philanthropic Organizations? * Venture capital? * Bootstrap? ---- ### Revenue Streams * Interactive-Computing-as-a-Service * Research grants subcontractor * Training programs * Publishing partnerships --- # Collaborate? ---- #### ==No entity should own interactive computing== ----  # [<code>2i2c</code>](https://2i2c.org) > A corporation with a mission to support people engaged in **interactive computing**.
