Opening Science : The evolving guide on how the Internet is changing research, Collaboration and scholarly publishing
Modern information and communication technologies, together with a cultural upheaval within the research community, have profoundly changed research in nearly every aspect. Ranging from sharing and discussing ideas in social networks for scientists to new collaborative environments and novel publication formats, knowledge creation and dissemination as we know it is experiencing a vigorous shift towards increased transparency, collaboration and accessibility. Many assume that research workflows will change more in the next 20 years than they have in the last 200. This book provides researchers, decision makers, and other scientific stakeholders with a snapshot of the basics, the tools, and the underlying visions that drive the current scientific (r)evolution, often called ‘Open Science.’
Distributed, High-Performance and Grid Computing in Computational Biology ; International Workshop, GCCB 2006, International Workshop, GCCB 2006, Eilat, Israel, January 21, 2007, Proceedings
Modern computational biology and bioinformatics are characterized by large and complex structured data and by applications requiring considerable computing resources, such as processing units, storage elements and software programs. In addition, these disciplines are intrinsically geographically distributed in terms of their instruments, communities and computing resources. Tackling the computational challenges in computational biology and bioinformatics increasingly requires high-end and distributed computing infrastructures, systems and tools.
