About
(Note: Formerly called the Collaborative Middleware Environment.)
MIDNet has awarded $24,000 to the GPN Middleware project for the purchase of storage resources that will augment the research capabilities of several research projects.
What is cyberinfrastructure (CI)?
- The term "cyberinfrastructure" describes the new research environments that support advanced data acquisition, data storage, data management, data integration, data mining, data visualization and other computing and information processing services over the Internet. In scientific usage, cyberinfrastructure is a technological solution to the problem of efficiently connecting data, computers, and people with the goal of enabling derivation of novel scientific theories and knowledge.
