  2. Scenario’s • Ubiquitous Telecommunications Infrastructure • Sophisticated wireless networks, easy to use • real-time data collection and information dissemination • ‘Cloud’ Computing • Shared general purpose data centers • low-cost, maintenance-free supercomputing

  3. Opportunities • Ubiquitous telecommunications infrastructure • agricultural researchers and farmers collect and disseminate data/information • impact in rural areas • Real-time interpretation of data • Cloud computing • Researchers use several clouds, pay per use • Data sharing more extensive as clouds become public information goods

  4. Issues • Researchers need to establish processes to validate and disseminate data (as with other public information goods) • Data harmonization • Accessibility • Ownership

  5. More Information • Leading cloud computing providers: • Amazon Web Services • GeneBank (collection of publicly available DNA sequences) • RFID tags on livestock
