As researchers undertake to better understand issues of sustainability of our planet and human impact on the planet, computational tools can assist not only with the high performance computational needs, but also through tools that allow scientists to use common vocabularies, interact through social networks, and support the long-term preservation of research results for future generations of scientists.

The workshop will be chaired by Beth Plale.
