- Understanding Infrastructure: Dynamics, Tensions, and Design (PDF) - very cogent study of lessons from past infrastructure evolution (railroads, electrical grid, etc.), plus key challenges ("Reverse Salients") to building cyberinfrastructure. Includes 2-pg. Executive Summary. Some key concepts:
- Infrastructures != Systems
- Gateways
- Reverse Salients
- Path Dependence
- Tension / resistance -> Infrastructural Learning
- Cyberinfrastructure should be grown from ground up, not built top down
- Incorporating Flexibility into Infrastructure design
- What Researchers Want (SurfShare) (PDF)
