Cyberinfrastructure as a Platform to Facilitate Effective Collaboration between Institutions and Support Collaboratories

Abstract

Researchers, scientists, engineers, granting agencies, and increasingly complex research problems have given rise to the scientific "collaboratory"-large organizations that span many institutions, with individual members working together to explore a particular phenomenon. These organizations require computational resources in order to support analyses and to provide platforms where the collaborators can interact. The XSEDE Community Infrastructure (XCI) group assists campuses in using their own resources and promotes the sharing of those resources in order to create collaboratories improving use of the nation's collective cyberinfrastructure. Currently XCI provides toolkits and training, and collaborates with organizations such as ACI-REF, XSEDE Campus Champions, and the Open Science Grid to identify tools and best practices that support the community. This paper discusses the progress in and barriers to developing a robust collaborative environment where computational resources can be shared.

A Ciência Como Jogo: Abordagens Lúdicas Ao Design De Interfaces Para Software Científico

“…É importante destacar, também, que a ciência tem se tornado uma atividade cada vez mais coletiva e colaborativa, o que pode ser visto no surgimento de "colaboratórios": coletivos de institutos voltados a uma mesma pesquisa, facilitados pelo uso de uma mesma ciberestrutura (Coulter et al, 2016). Nos últimos dez anos, novos esforços para colaboração em massacomo comunidades abertas, open data, ciência cidadã e ciência coletivavêm se tornando um novo paradigma (Vanschoren et al, 2014).…”
