The participative web and high-powered research networks are having profound impacts on science and interactions within the science community. Advanced scientific applications in computing/networking have been well ahead of commercial applications and the introduction of participative tools is no exception. Given the critical importance that businesses place on using technology tools there are important lessons to be learned from scientific experience with very advanced network-based applications, building and using computational grids and exploring innovative uses of highly-networked computers.
Questions to be addressed include:
- What innovation-relevant lessons can be learned from e-science (e.g. grid computing, bioinformatics)?
- What are the impacts of the participative web and “open innovation” on scientific research and computation-intensive business applications?
- How are new applications changing expert and public debate, including diverse and alternative views?
