A complex cyberinfrastructure such as EarthCube requires a well thought out information and system architecture in order to identify the principles, patterns, and relationships between the software, services, and data and their ultimate deployment and integration. The "Scalable Community Driven Architecture" project is funded by EarthCube to develop a conceptual architecture that serves as a high level system blueprint for the definition, construction, and deployment of both existing and new components to ensure that they can be unified and integrated into an evolutionary national infrastructure for EarthCube.This session will feature a combination of presentations and discussions led by the project team. The session is designed to inform the ESIP community about this conceptual architecture and the project's progress, as well as to get feedback from the community to help improve the design.
