Overview:

Over the past decades, e-Infrastructures have mostly addressed scientific communities with somewhat extreme computing needs. These communities often share other infrastructure such as expensive scientific instruments, leading to a high degree of institutional organization.  The majority of scientific activity happens outside such "Big Science" structures.  How can we address e-Infrastructure needs of this segment, sometimes called the "long tail of science" or (in the HPC community) the "missing middle"?
