A revolution in the tools of scientific and engineering research -- The research process in a digital world -- A digital infrastructure to support tomorrow's research communities -- Changing expectations of the researcher.

This report describes many of the new digital research tools for science and engineering. These tools have irreversibly revolutionized the way research is now and will be conducted. For the most part research communities are adapting by welcoming these changes as necessary improvements for fostering productivity, speed, efficiency, precision, collaboration, and creativity. This willingness to adapt is generally perceived as positive and progressive (Nissenbaum, 1998).
