AB: The Information Technology and Systems Center (ITSC) at the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) is performing research in advanced applications with the goal of improving data usability in the next generation of distributed science data and information systems. These research areas include: {\bf data mining} and {\bf subsetting} in real time and for post-run analysis, {\bf interchange technologies} for improved data exploitation, and the use of {\bf semantics} to transform data exploitation via intelligent automated processing. Taken together, these technologies will be an important contribution to an evolving standards-based network of interoperable data and services. In addition, ITSC is investigating the role of a variety of infrastructure improvements for improved data usability, such as {\bf grid technologies} for seamless access to multiple computational and data resources in a virtual computing environment; {\bf cluster technologies} for high-speed parallel computation, multi-agent computations, and other applications; {\bf high-performance networking} for high-speed connectivity among advanced applications; and next generation technologies in {\bf videoconferencing} and {\bf electronic collaboration}. This presentation will highlight several current ITSC research projects and collaborations which focus on advanced tools and services for such high-performance infrastructures, and which illustrate new approaches to improving data usability.
