WETICE 2004 Evaluating Collaborative Enterprises (ECE) Workshop - Final report

A summary of the fifth Evaluating Collaborative Enterprises (ECE) workshop which ran on June 14th at University of Modena, Italy. The overall theme of the workshop this year was evaluation within the software lifecyle rather than as a separate activity. Each of the five papers touched on this subject and the subsequent winner of Best Paper covered it thoroughly. Concerns about the level of interactivity within the workshop and WETICE itself prompted a format change to ``paired-paper'' sessions with plenty of discussion time. Several outstanding issus were identified during the discussion, including development of ``evaluation components'' alongside software components, the need to convince managers of the business case for evaluation and meta-evaluation of popular techniques with a view to avoiding studies that select inappropriate techniques or rely too heavily on one type of technique

TeraGrid User Workshop Final Report

In 2006, the NSF awarded a one-year grant to the University of Michigan’s School of Information (UM-SI) to conduct an external evaluation of TeraGrid. This report describes the results of the first major evaluation activity. On June 12, 2006 the UM-SI evaluation team conducted a workshop to begin to examine the relationship between TeraGrid’s development priorities and the needs of its users. The invitation-only workshop was funded by TeraGrid and was held at the University Place Conference Center in Indianapolis, Indiana. The TeraGrid User Workshop Final Report summarizes the data collected and information gained during the workshop.National Science Foundationhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/61841/1/TeraGrid2006_Tutortials_Survey_Report.pdfhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/61841/4/2006_TGUser_Workshop_Report.pd

Regional biodiversity monitoring partnership workshop : final report

The Biodiversity Monitoring Workgroup (Appendix 1)—which consists of federal, state, university, NGO’s, and private landowner stakeholders who are involved in aspects of monitoring biodiversity in the states of Oregon and Washington—conceived of the idea of exploring the possibilities of creating a Regional Biodiversity Monitoring Partnership. The Workgroup’s idea of hosting a workshop to explore such possibilities is grounded in a shared vision that recognizes the underlying value of biodiversity and relies on the compiling, managing, and sharing of biodiversity information in the region that will ultimately inform management and conservation efforts and decisions, and identify gaps where new efforts might be needed. The overall effort is sponsored by the U.S. Forest Service Pacific Northwest Research Station as part of the Focused Sciences Delivery Program’s Biodiversity Initiative and facilitated by the Institute for Natural Resources at OSU. Workshop participants greeted the idea and need of having a partnership with warm regard. Many regarded it as an essential component to extending and elevating the presence of monitoring regional biodiversity efforts. While participants spoke well on behalf of a partnership, this document focuses on the issues that individual participants and break-out groups thought needed to be addressed to create a viable, accessible, and sustainable regional biodiversity monitoring partnership. The issues and recommendations listed throughout the document reflect the range of views of individuals and break-out groups and do not reflect a consensus by all participants

Identification of Tasks in Office Occupations: June 1973 Workshop. Final Report

A shortened version of the final report of a Federally-funded developmental curriculum research project; the publication presents the findings of a workshop (University of Northern Iowa; 1973) for the purpose of identification of job tasks for entry-level office occupations from research-based materials. Studies by Lamb (Mary Lou); Lanham (Frank W.); and Perkins (Edward A.) were used by the workshop participants to identify job tasks for selected entry-level office occupations. Job performance tasks indicated in the research were the basis for the selection of the following job classifications: stenographer; secretary; receptionist; general office clerk; clerk typist; mail clerk; transcribing machine operator; office machine operator; and file clerk. Three sets of tables were prepared. Tables 1-9 list the percent of respondents performing tasks; arranged in descending order; for nine subject matter areas. Tables 9-18 list the percent of respondents performing tasks; arranged in descending order; according to subject matter and the above listed job classifications; tables 19-27 provide additional coverage of subject matter area and job classifications using a matrix format. Since lower percents did not appear significant in curriculum development for office occupations; the percent of respondents performing tasks below 30% was eliminated. (Approximately 120 pages consist of tables.) (Author/EA
