Workshop Overview:
Cloud computing promises unlimited resources for carrying out research or conducting operational computing tasks. But how well suited is it to advancing geosciences research and operational activities? How does one take advantage of it? Collaborative sharing technologies, such as Facebook, are a second and in some ways complementary technology that promises better science outcomes. In what way can collaborative technologies contribute to scientific or operational advancements in the geosciences?
The goals of the workshop are to:
The workshop is being sponsored by the National Science Foundation, and hosted by the Indiana University Pervasive Technologies Institute Data to Insight Center and LEAD project. |
