You are cordially invited to the opening IIC Colloquium of the 2009-10
academic year.
Exploiting and Providing Research Data: Finding Strategies to Help
Researchers
September 9, 2009, 4:00pm
309 Cruft Laboratory, 19 Oxford Street (**NOTE NEW LOCATION**)
Malcolm Atkinson
UK e-Science Envoy and Director of the e-Science Institute
and
David De Roure
Professor of Computer Science, University of Southampton
Abstract
Data-intensive research is emerging as a new paradigm with the
pervasive growth in digital data, communication and devices. Profs.
Atkinson and De Roure, who are embarking on a fact-finding mission to
the U.S., will illustrate their talk with examples from a range of
disciplines. They will report on progress toward understanding how to
economically enable a large community of researchers to become fluent
in whatever uses of data will benefit their research. Issues include
technical and socioeconomic factors as well as the nature, maturity,
structure and scale of data.
About the Speakers
Malcolm Atkinson, FRSE, FBCS, is the UK e-Science Envoy, plays a
leading role in the Open Middleware Infrastructure Institute UK, and
is on the advisory boards of the National Grid Service and Baltic
Grid. He led the EU IST project “International Collaboration to Extend
and Advance Grid Education” (ICEAGE). This project organized the
International Summer School on Grid Computing 2007 (ISSGC’07). He
chaired the ISSGC’06, ISSGC’07 and ISSGC’08 Programme Committees. He
is a member of the Joint Information Systems Committee Board and JISC
Support of Research Committee. He is a representative of the UK at the
e Infrastructure Reflection Group. He is an Associate Editor of the
International Journal of Distributed Systems and Technologies (IJDST).
David De Roure, FBCS, is a professor of computer science in the School
of Electronics and Computer Science at the University of Southampton,
UK, where he is a founding member of the School’s "Intelligence,
Agents and Multimedia" Group, leads the e-Research activities and is
Director of the Pervasive Systems Centre. He has been closely involved
in the UK e-Science and e-Social Science programmes with leading roles
in a variety of multidisciplinary projects ranging from bioinformatics
and chemistry to psychology, environmental modelling, social
statistics and computational musicology. He has also been involved
with commissioning e-Science projects for multiple UK funding
programmes from e Infrastructure and Technology Enhanced Learning to
Social Sciences, Arts and Humanities, and in the formation of European
strategy. Currently he directs the myExperiment project, is chair of
the Open Middleware Infrastructure Institute UK and a co-director of
the e Research South consortium.

Hi Everyone,
Some of you may have noticed that I updated the website. However, I
wanted everyone to know that I'm not entirely done with the website
yet. I rewrote all the html and css from scratch, and so, there's
still some bugs depending on what browser you look at the website with.
I wrote the website using the latest version of firefox so the
website is best viewed with that particular browser. Also, I had
mentioned previously that I was planning on switching the website to a
wordpress based website, but this proved to be somewhat problematic in
that you cannot host a wordpress based website on people.bu.edu. You
can however host a free wordpress based website on other sites but
there were other issues associated with that so I abandoned the idea
altogether. There will be more updates/fixes to the website in the
future; I will let everyone know when it is "finished".
Mike

Hi everyone,
We'll be having lunch with Mikko Mottonen and Charlie Marcus at noon. If
you are interested, we'll meet in front of the chemistry building at noon.
After the lunch, Mikko will be visiting with the Marcus group.
