Whither or whether HCI: requirements analysis for multi-sited, multi-user cyberinfrastructures

Cyberinfrastructures bring together distributed resources to support scientific discoveries. Cyberinfrastructures currently under development are intended to enable the cooperative work of diverse users over long periods of time. We analyze the challenges that cyberinfrastructures present to existing methods of user requirements analysis. Keywords Cyberinfrastructure, requirements analysis, scientific transformation ACM Classification Keywords K.4.3 [Organizational Impacts]: Computer-Supported Collaborative Work; K.6.1 [Project and People Management]: Systems Analysis and Design; General Terms: Design, Human Factors
