Abstract

NSF-funded collaboratories are experimental and empirical research environments in which domain scientist work with computer, communications, behavioral and social scientists to design systems, participate in collaborative science, and conduct experiments to evaluate and improve the systems. These research projects are concerned with distributed and collaborative research that requires intense reliance on wide-area networks and the Internet, to bring together instruments, laboratories and researchers.
