CFP: Supporting Scientific Collaboration Through Cyberinfrastructure and e-Science
Scientific collaboration using cyberinfrastructure (CI), or e-Science, is forward facing. e-Science projects aim to support the collaboration of research communities, whether by facilitating distanced collaboration or sharing data and computational resources.
