    Cyberinfrastructure for Network Science

    Hello all! Welcome to a new academic year. We had a wonderful kick off with two presentations by Katy Borner today. I am actually going to make a post for each of them. The first presentation was a description of cyberinfrastructure that Prof Borner (and others, most of whom have now presented on the complexity seris) are designing-- "The Network Workbench". This is cyberinfrastructure aimed at the Network Science research community. I am putting the abstract and link to the project below. While any questions are welcome (and Prof. Borner will be weighing in on the discussion), of particular interest regarding a tool that is very much under construction now is what would be of use to the social science community? The basic idea behind the infrastructure is that it should be able to incorporate various datasets and algorithms developed out there in the community-- one simply has to produce something that "plugs into" the tool Anyhow, they have developed various algorithms and the like already, and need to prioritize "what's next." So, if you have particular suggestions, please post as comments. (btw, note that in the next day or so I will post the powerpoint to her workshop here)

    The Network Workbench workshop

    This workshop introduced diverse cyberinfrastructures (CIs), such as the Information Visualization CI, the Network Workbench, and respective databases. These CIs serve the needs of the InfoVis and NetsSci research communities respectively. They also make possible the analysis and mapping of mankind’s scholarly knowledge.
