Why the LSST will change astrophysics forever

Why the LSST will change astrophysics forever

My slides from #NAM2015 where I introduce the idea of Service Oriented Astronomy: An approach whereby researchers develop novel methods for common data analysis tasks that are shared as hosted services with their peers.

  7. Service Oriented Architecture > A service-oriented architecture (SOA) is an

    architectural pattern in computer software design in which application components provide services to other components via a communications protocol, typically over a network. The principles of service-orientation are independent of any vendor, product or technology. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Service-oriented_architecture
