The Innovative Computing Laboratory (ICL) of the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, working in collaboration with the Cyberinfrastructure Partnership (CIP) between the San Diego Supercomputing Center (SDSC) and the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA), is leading an NSF-sponsored publication effort called Cyberinfrastructure Technology Watch (CTWatch). The goal of CTWatch is to establish an online forum for ideas and opinions on topics of importance to the cyberinfrastructure community, providing a new source of information and analysis concerning the latest innovations in cyberinfrastructure technology.

To create the kind of productive mix of news, information and dialogue that rapid progress in shared cyberinfrastructure today requires, CTWatch developed CTWatch Quarterly, an on-line serial publication modeled on a more traditional academic journal. CTWatch Quarterly is designed to be published on-line and is made available in both HTML and in a high-quality PDF format intended for printing on demand. Each issue of revolves around a particular area of interest for the cyberinfrastructure community and is organized by a guest editor who is a leader in that field.

The focus topics (and corresponding guest editors) for 2006-7 included:
