Living cyberinfrastructure: Accelerating discovery

For scientists looking to complete large, complex, data-driven research projects quickly, living cyberinfrastructure can be a powerful solution. This is a different way of working for most scientists; applying for time on a machine does not guarantee their research proposals will be accepted. If they are, small sacrifices are often required to use shared equipment. The rewards, on the other hand, can be groundbreaking.
