Integrated Information and Computing Systems for Natural, Spatial, and Social Sciences

摘要

Learning from the plentitude of successful real-life studies, this book shows that there is more than one unique way to solve the grand challenges within the evolving information science landscape. The book also reveals that future multi-disciplinary application scenarios will depend on ever increasing compute, communication, and storage capabilities and capacities. The book inspires the reader to think about how to achieve integrated, sustainable, holistic, and long-term concepts and means for preserving content, knowledge, structure, and workflows, and thus increasing benefits, cognition and practical ease of use of information and computing systems in science and society.
