This issue of First Monday includes selected papers from the conference
held in Washington, D.C. 29-30 January 2007.
The center focuses on five thrust areas that are the pillars of an exciting future:
- Cyberenvironments will give research communities the means to fully exploit the extraordinary resources available on the Internet (computing systems, data sources and stores, and tools).
- NCSA's cyber-resources ensure that computing, data, and networking resources are available to solve the most demanding science and engineering problems and that the solutions are obtained in a timely manner.
- Innovative systems research is exploring the path to petascale (and beyond) science and engineering.
- Advanced visualization provides critical insights into complex systems and brings the thrill of scientific discovery to the public.
- NCSA aims to bring cybereducation into the undergraduate and graduate classroom to prepare the next generation of scientists and engineers to effectively use the growing national cyberinfrastructure.
