CyberInfrastructure/HumanitiesAndSocialSciences

Commission on Cyberinfrastructure for the Humanities & Social Sciences:

With support from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the ACLS has appointed a national commission on cyberinfrastructure in the humanities and social sciences. This commission will carry out research, hearings, and consultations to gather information and develop perspective, completing its work within the calendar year 2004 and issuing its report in early 2005.

ACLS: Cyberinfrastructure Commission: What is Cyberinfrastructure?:

The term was coined by NSF to describe the new research environments in which capabilities of the highest level of computing tools are available to researchers in an interoperable network. These environments will be built, and ACLS feels it is important for the humanities and social sciences to participate in their design and construction.
