Designing Cyberinfrastructure 2007

I am a bit late to this content, but there was a conference "Designing Cyberinfrastructure" in January

http://cyberinfrastructure.us/
or http://www.si.umich.edu/cyber-infrastructure/

with the papers published in a special issue of First Monday in June

http://www.firstmonday.org/issues/issue12_6/

It's more grid, policy and patent focused than about specific IT architecture(s).

Some papers and presentations of interest:

• The Open Science Grid (paper), Building Large-Scale Cyberinfrastructure Through Collaboration (PowerPoint presentation) - Paul Avery
• Cyberinfrastructure and Innovation Policy - Brian Kahin
• Cyberinfrastructure, Institutions, and Sustainability - Chris Mackie
• Implementing Openness: An International Institutional Perspective - Sacha Wunsch–Vincent, Taylor Reynolds, and Andrew Wyckoff

I hope that these sorts of discussions will continue, but also as I indicated, start to encompass the idea of IT architectures for (in Christine Borgman's term) "scholarly infrastructure", that will bring in many more services and capabilities than just the compute and storage focus of the grid initiatives.
