Abstract

By taking an organizational communication approach to examine the meta influences on scientific IT infrastructure development, a preliminary analysis reveals that existing practices in a field with the Internet and computer technologies, the agenda of the funding agency, and the competing theories and methodologies held by participating scientists and groups are three such meta organizational influences. Instead of presenting key findings in the form of statements, the student author instead raises meta questions to be asked as we develop and design large-scale scientific IT infrastructure in the early 21st century.
