Contributors from communication and information sciences, but also from natural, geospatial, and social sciences examine how information and computing resources are being used now in those sciences and how the future might be changed by new requirements or new technology. The overall themes are collaboration, frameworks, and legal aspects; high end computing, storage, and services; communication, computation, and advanced scientific computing; and big data exploration, visualization, education, and social media. Among the topics are software design for passing Sarbanes-Oxley in cloud computing, the high-end monitoring and control of computer systems, password recovery research and its future direction, thermo-chemical convection in planetary mantles advection methods and magma ocean overturn simulations, and integrating a visualization solution with a three-dimensional simulation model for tissue growth.
