Info Sci and Technology
Information Science and Technology (IS&T) is a broad area of research that seeks to match the rapid growth in hardware capability with effective tools to generate knowledge out of the growing flood of data. Within this area, the IAS focuses on Mathematical Biology and Energy and Environment. In FY '09 we will investigate developing programs in Computational Cognitive Science and Cyber Security. We also partner with Los Alamos National Laboratory's (LANL) Information Science and Technology Institute (ISTI) to support participation from the New Mexico universities in ISTI priorities (streaming data analysis and high performance computing systems). We partner with the New Mexico Computing Applications Center, particulary on Energy and Environment modeling.

Mathematical Biology
Mathematical biology seeks to establish a deep theoretical understanding, detailed modeling, and quantitative experimentation directed at understanding the behavior of particular regulatory systems and/or elucidating general principles of cellular information processing. Within molecular systems, our most most significant investments have been the q-bio summer school and conference. Additionally, we supported a world recognized HIV conference in Santa Fe. The vision workshop, held in Santa Fe in May, has been a primary vehicle for establishing collaborations with out-of-state researchers in the field. In computational neuroscience, we funded a mentoring program for students and a workshop. These events put New Mexico on the international map as a recognized leader in quantitative biology and mathematical biology.
Energy and Enviro/ NMCAC Partnership
Energy and Environment (E&E) is an independent IAS thrust area which includes Information Science and Technology (IS&T) components such as modeling energy economics and transport as well as climate modeling. The IAS IS&T effort partners with the E&E thrust area on IS&T components. IS&T will participate in the E&E led workshops planned this year to define E&E priorities for the IAS in FY '09. The IAS shares an interest in the IS&T component of E&E with the New Mexico Computing Applications Center (NMCAC) and partners with NMCAC on programs in this area.
ISTI Partnership
Los Alamos National Laboratory's (LANL) Information Science and Technology Institute (ISTI) leads LANL's partnership with UC Santa Cruz with a focus on Information Science and Technology (IS&T). The IAS's IS&T program partners with ISTI in key areas including systems and streaming data. ISTI leads these efforts and the IAS brings in partnerships with the New Mexico universities. IAS IS&T leaders are affiliates of ISTI and enjoy long-standing collaborations with ISTI.
Strategic Investments
The IAS made strategic investments in a broad range of collaborative Information Science and Technology (IS&T) programs in FY '08.
Explosion Source Characterization of Underground Nuclear Tests Using Seismic Data
Seismic Data from the LLNL and SNL archives are used for explosion source characterization of underground nuclear tests at the Nevada Test Site.
