ABSTRACT

Cyberinfrastructure sits at the core of modern simulation and modeling, providing entirely new methods of investigation that allow scholars to address previously unsolvable problems. Specifi cally, the development of software, algorithms, portals, and interfaces that will enable research and scholarship by freeing end-users from dealing with the complexity of various computing environments is critical to extending the reach of high-end computing, storage, networking, visualization, and sophisticated instrumentation to the general user community.
