CYBERINFRASTRUCTURE IN CANADA
Louis Houle
Associate Director, Client Services, Sciences, Health and Engineering
Definition of Cyberinfrastructure Wikipedia:
“describes the new research environments that support advanced data acquisition, data storage, data management, data integration, data mining, data visualization and other computing and information processing services over the Internet.
In scientific usage, cyberinfrastructure is a technological solution to the problem of efficiently connecting data, computers, and people with the goal of enabling derivation of novel scientific theories and knowledge.”

And in the “middle…”
Software programs, services, instruments, data, information, knowledge, and social practices…
Integrated electro-optical components of computation, storage, and communication…
“Enabling hardware, algorithms, software, communications, institutions, and personnel. This layer should provide an effective and efficient platform for the empowerment of specific communities of researchers to innovate and eventually revolutionize what they do, how they do it, and who participates.”

While many countries are investing in R&D
China’s R&D spending has grown by 22%/year since 1996. Australia spends 2% of GDP1 on research and
development, having grown 8%/year since 1996. Not satisfied with this, government recently released its innovation policy agenda to 2020.
Austria, Denmark, Germany, Iceland, Switzerland, Taiwan, and the United States spend more than 2.5%
Finland, Japan, South Korea, and Sweden spend more than 3%
Israel spends more than 4%
1. GDP = Gross Domestic Product

Where is Canada ?
BEHIND?
16-11-2009 10IATUL E-Science Seminar - Hong Kong Polytechnic U. Library
Canadian industry research spending in 2007 was only 1.03% of the country’s GDP
Canada in 12th place among the industrialized nations
R&D spending by Canadian businesses has been decreasing since 2002

CANARIE (http://www.canarie.ca/)
Canada's Advanced Research and Innovation Network – 1993
“It manages an ultra high-speed network, hundreds of times faster than the Internet, which facilitates leading-edge research and big science across Canada and around the world. More than 39,000 researchers at nearly 200 Canadian universities and colleges use the CANARIE network, as well as scientists at many research institutes, hospitals, and government laboratories throughout the country.”

CANARIE CANARIE also supports the development of new tools
and software that enable researchers to analyze and share very large amounts of data, collaborate more effectively, and apply research results in innovative ways. CANARIE works with researchers and developers in many scientific disciplines, across 12 regional networks in Canada, and with 100 international peer networks in more than 80 countries. These collaborations stimulate research, innovation and growth, which deliver economic, social, and cultural benefits to Canadians.
