Description: There is a general belief that an important road to innovation will be provided by multi-disciplinary and collaborative research - from systems biology and bio-informatics to earth systems science and chemo-informatics. In the context of science and engineering, this is the e-Science agenda. Robust middleware services will be widely deployed on top of the academic research networks to constitute the necessary cyberinfrastructure to provide a collaborative research environment for the global academic community. In this talk, Tony Hey of Microsoft describes how the scientists and engineers are collaborating with computer scientists and the IT industry to create the new e-Infrastructure.
