Cyberinfrastructure Technology Watch (CTWatch) is an online venue designed to engage the science and engineering research community in the news, ideas, and information surrounding the emergence of cyberinfrastructure as the essential foundation for advanced scientific inquiry.

CTWatch is a joint effort of the new NSF funded Cyberinfrastructure Partnership (CIP) between the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) and the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA), and it is being carried out in collaboration with the Innovative Computing Laboratory (ICL) at the University of Tennessee. It will serve both as a forum for opinion and analysis on issues related to cyberinfrastructure generally, and as an ongoing news and information source concerning the latest innovations in cyberinfrastructure technology. As a forum, the goal of CTWatch is to present thoughtful opinion and analysis on cyberinfrastructure in all its myriad aspects, including its impact on research, education, and practice; its implications for science and technology policy; its evolution at the hands of engineering research and innovative technology; and its critical role in increasing the nation's industrial capacity and economic competitiveness. Our intent is to stimulate the kind of productive debate and dialogue, both within the research community and outside it, which we believe the advent of this powerful new era of shared cyberinfrastructure requires.
