Has Your Research Been Transformed by Cyberinfrastructure?
Researchers who have seen their work transformed -- either from

possible, remote instrumentation accessed, or mountains of data
rendered intelligible --
are invited to participate on a panel and share their story. If you
would like to take part,
please email summit09(a)cybera.ca.
