Machines, methods and music: On the evolution of e-Research.

Against a backdrop of increasing computational capability we are seeing acceleration of research through broader adoption and sharing of tools, techniques and resources, both for big science and the long tail scientist. This paper discusses the evolution of e-Research, focusing on a web-scale computational musicology project as an illustration of emerging methodology and using the myExperiment social website as a lens to glimpse future research practice. © 2011 IEEE

The Collaborative Semantic Grid.

Grid and Semantic Web technologies both enable heterogeneous resources to be joined up to achieve new functionality and capability, and their combined effectiveness has been demonstrated through a number of 'Semantic Grid' projects. These typically apply Semantic Web technologies in Grid applications, in a datagrid or within the Grid middleware. In this paper we suggest how both approaches also support distributed collaborative endeavours, and explore their combined role. We illustrate this 'Collaborative Semantic Grid' through a number of case studies, and contemplate the changing nature of collaboration as these technologies evolve. © 2006 IEEE
