Workshop Title: LTER Information Managers Meeting: Planning Cyberinfrastructure for LTER Network Synthetic Science (11am-noon and 1-2:15pm)
Organizer(s): Barbara Benson - NTL, James Brunt - LNO, John Porter - VCR, John Vande Castle - LNO
Abstract: The LTER Network is completing a two year planning process to develop a research program for integrative, synthetic network science and the cyberinfrastructure (CI) necessary to support this endeavor. This working group will provide information gathered through a series of "CI Focus Group" meetings and an opportunity for the LTER community to offer feedback on the current LTER CI Strategic Plan and implementation initiatives. Components of the strategic plan cover the CI needs and requirements for cross-site/network experiments, Network-level data integration, and modeling. Presentations by the LTER Core CI team will provide an overview of the strategic plan. A panel discussion will focus key issues for discussion, and open discussion will be facilitated. The product of the working group will be a document providing feedback on the CI strategic plan.
