Abstract

The principles of adaptive and reflective software (abstract interfaces, exposed metadata, instrumentation) can be applied to create flexible, scalable scientific CyberInfrastructure and to develop Cyberenvironments to support scientific research. Informed by an understanding of scientific processes as a discourse; we argue that a confluence of ideas from adaptive and reflective software and from traditional scientific information management, and grid/web scalable architectures provide a robust foundation for explicitly and coherently manage data, processes, and models using standardized technologies within Cyberenvironments that present an evolvable, domain-oriented view to the user.
