Campus Bridging Workshop Overview: Reducing Obstacles on the Path to Big Answers

Summary form only given. The complete presentation was not made available for publication as part of the conference proceedings. Campus Bridging: Reducing Obstacles on the Path to Big Answers workshop is held in conjunction with IEEE Cluster 2015. The organizers have brought together a panel of professionals working with various campus bridging technologies and initiatives across multiple organizations to give a series of talks regarding their areas of expertise. Campus bridging is a relatively new discipline, occupying the need for national cyberinfrastructure to be accessible to the researchers who rely upon it to complete their work. The goal of campus bridging is to provide resources - whether in terms of consulting and education or cluster management software or simplifying the process of moving data between one resource (such as a laptop) and another (such as a national-tier supercomputer) - for both researchers and the IT professionals who support them.
