Where: IU Innovation Theatre

The National Science Foundation’s strategy for 21st Century innovation depends upon rapid creation of software to enable scientific discovery. The NSF workshop report Planning for Cyberinfrastructure Support stated, “CI [Cyberinfrastructure] changes the rules and foundations of the research endeavor across much of NSF. CI software is a new class of artifact that should be the target of explicit design, construction, study, and evolution.” In 2009, Indiana University hosted an NSF-funded workshop on Cyberinfrastructure Software Sustainability and Reusability, and this forum will present key points of the conclusions and recommendations reached as a result of this workshop.
