Abstract

The Extreme Science and Engineering Discovery Environment (XSEDE) is a flagship cyberinfrastructure project funded by the US National Science Foundation (NSF). XSEDE’s Extended Collaborative Support Services (ECSS) program is a significant component of the XSEDE effort, dedicated to extended engagements with our user community which transform their research. We describe the organization, operation and some highlights of the program in this submission.
