The Open Practises E-Science Network (OPEN)
A grant proposal submitted for support to fund a research network focussed on identifying and dealing with the practical issues of enabling open practise in research. The text of the proposal was written by a large number of people and coordinated by Cameron Neylon
Open Science: Tools, approaches, and implications
The Pacific Symposium on Biocomputing is an annual meeting whose topics are determined by proposals submitted by members of the community. This document is the proposal for a session on Open Science, submitted for consideration for the PSB meeting in 2009
Document Archiving, Replication and Migration Container for Mobile Web Users
With the increasing use of mobile workstations for a wide variety of tasks
and associated information needs, and with many variations of available
networks, access to data becomes a prime consideration. This paper discusses
issues of workstation mobility and proposes a solution wherein the data
structures are accessed in an encapsulated form - through the Portable File
System (PFS) wrapper. The paper discusses an implementation of the Portable
File System, highlighting the architecture and commenting upon performance of
an experimental system. Although investigations have been focused upon mobile
access of WWW documents, this technique could be applied to any mobile data
access situation.Comment: 5 page
RootJS: Node.js Bindings for ROOT 6
We present rootJS, an interface making it possible to seamlessly integrate
ROOT 6 into applications written for Node.js, the JavaScript runtime platform
increasingly commonly used to create high-performance Web applications. ROOT
features can be called both directly from Node.js code and by JIT-compiling C++
macros. All rootJS methods are invoked asynchronously and support callback
functions, allowing non-blocking operation of Node.js applications using them.
Last but not least, our bindings have been designed to platform-independent and
should therefore work on all systems supporting both ROOT 6 and Node.js.
Thanks to rootJS it is now possible to create ROOT-aware Web applications
taking full advantage of the high performance and extensive capabilities of
Node.js. Examples include platforms for the quality assurance of acquired,
reconstructed or simulated data, book-keeping and e-log systems, and even Web
browser-based data visualisation and analysis.Comment: 7 pages, 1 figure. To appear in the Proceedings of the 22nd

Collaboration : a key competence for competing in the 21st century
It is now an accepted fact that in the 21st century competition will be between networks of organisations and individuals, which efficiently and effectively integrate their competencies and resources in order to compete in a global economy (Bititci et al, 2004). Similarly the SME'2000 conference, which was held in Bologna, concluded that 'SMEs belonging to networks are often more competitive and innovative than those operating in isolation. When working together, SMEs can increase their focus through specialisation in functions that are complementary within their networks'
