Introduction
The Inaugural Workshop on Research Infrastructure and Services in the Cloud will be co-located with The 14th International Conference on Service Oriented Computing (ICSOC) 2016 in Banff, Alberta, Canada on October 10, 2016.
Successful research programs are supported by a rich and varied scaffolding of people and services. Over the past two decades, digital research infrastructures and online services have grown more vital to meeting the needs of researchers. The advent of service-oriented computing, and its natural descendant cloud computing, has enabled research infrastructure that is software-defined, and thus more agile and versatile. Access to data with increasing volume, velocity, and variety, and to sophisticated algorithms via web service APIs, and the provisioning of software-as-a-service, has lowered barriers to adopting digital tools and infrastructure that support research.
WRISC will serve as a venue for the consideration of research infrastructure and services, grounded in the key enabling technologies of service-oriented and cloud computing.
