Digital Technologies Expo
As the digital systems essential to modern academic scholarship continue to increase in power, scope, and complexity, sustainable mechanisms for supporting their development become increasingly important. The creation of improved cyberinfrastructure – technical and organizational foundations facilitating the development, maintenance, and interoperability of complex digital tools and platforms – has the potential to greatly increase the utility of both current and future digital systems, while simultaneously reducing development costs and complexity. This session will discuss the motivation for developing cyberinfrastructure in the field of Asian Studies, and introduce some of the key concerns and approaches involved in its planning, design and implementation.
