Ubiquity = Supporting Scientific Discourse
• Cyberenvironments represent rethinking current practice to create CI– That is enabling rather than stifling– That evolves as fast a research evolves– That connects research and practice– That empowers individuals to contribute new resources– That can be ubiquitous and persistent– That enables resource repurposing to address new
questions– That opens new career paths for CI developers, data
scientists, systems engineers, …

Cyberinfrastructure Challenges
• How can CI increase the productivity and competitiveness of the scientific community?
• How can CI developers enhance their capacity to respond to user needs more rapidly and more effectively?
• How should CI technical design and organizational structures change to enable solutions at scale – as a ubiquitous, persistent infrastructure for science and engineering research and education?

Cyberenvironments
Mosaic and Cyberenvironments• Mosaic
– By early 1990s, the internet had a wealth of resources, but they were inaccessible to most scientists
– Individual publishing– Browsing versus retrieving– See “Web 2.0 ... The Machine is
Us/ing Us”
• Cyberenvironments– By the early 2000’s, the internet
and grid had a wealth of interactive resources, but they were inaccessible to most scientists
– Individual information models– Fusion versus gathering
