A question I have been thinking a lot about lately, given the upcoming 
sociocybernetics conference in Urbino Italy, is: what is the link between 
e-science, 
web science and complexity science?  There seems to be tremendous overlap.  Scholars like Barry Wellman and Barabasi do web science, but are complexity scholars.  Manuel Castells is a sociologists who studies global network society, but a major part of his work is web science.  And, all of the tools of complexity science are e-science, computational thinking tools.  this seems to be a worthy paper or at least blog discussion.  Any ideas?
