Information Support of Scientific Researches of Virtual Communities on the Platform of Cloud Services

Abstract

The development of modern information technology generates the need in scientific research on an innovation platform called the e-science. Implementation of projects aimed at informational and technological support for research activities requires effective communication among members of virtual teams and information workers. The authors have developed a project aimed at creating a complex system of informational and technological support for scientific research conducted by virtual research teams on the platform of electronic science using cloud computing technologies. The information system provides the establishment of effective scientific communication when conducting research on the platform of electronic science. This approach increases the effectiveness of communication processes of participants in the virtual scientific team for interdisciplinary research; contributes to solving the informational aspects of scientific communication and the exchange of scientific data, information and knowledge for the convenient interaction of researchers, it also facilitates the effective search, consolidation, preservation and dissemination of research results among the scientific community.
