Abstract:
Computers accelerate our ability to achieve scientific
breakthroughs. As technology evolves and new research
needs come to light, the role for cyberinfrastructure as
“knowledge” infrastructure continues to expand. This
article defines and discusses cyberinfrastructure and the
related topics of science gateways and campus bridging;
identifies future challenges in cyberinfrastructure;
and discusses challenges and opportunities related to
the evolution of cyberinfrastructure, “big data” (datacentric,
data-enabled, and data-intensive research and
data analytics), and cloud computing.
