This workshop aims to explore opportunities for accelerating international science and collaboration through shared, connective computing environments. The focus will be on leveraging services and practices already in production in the global science community, with examples taken from fields such as high energy physics and genomics, and to explore possibilities for future cyber-initiatives between the U.S. and India.
Topics to be discussed at the workshop will include the “science as a service” approach for organizing resources needed for scientific discovery, as well as the role of education and training to increase productivity of researchers from the so-called “long tail” of science, i.e. disciplines lacking expertise, organization or scale to implement or access the enabling computing resources.
The workshop is being hosted by the University of Chicago's Center in Delhi and has received generous support from the University and Microsoft Corporation.
