GOALS OF THE MEETING
|
Information technology plays an essential role in almost all biomedical research. The evolution of biomedical research computing has been rapid and in the past systems were often developed on a shoestring,with success depending more upon the heroic
History shows that, for any field, when sufficient computing power becomes available at an appropriate cost, an information technology revolution occurs in the field, usually transforming the competitive landscape. After the revolution, access to robust, This has already occurred in the fields of high finance, transportation, and discount retailing. Now an IT revolution is sweeping through biomedical research. Best effort, no matter how good, is no longer enough. We need robust systems, solid disaster rec Although the need for industrial-strength systems is widely recognized, many research organizations are experiencing some culture shock when they try to integrate the methods and demands of professional IT infrastructure into the creative, dynamic culture Although demand for professional IT support of biomedical research is increasing dramatically, federal budgets for research are flat or declining. How can we reconcile these conflicting facts of life to provide research with the stable and validated infra
