To unlock this data it is important to gain the trust of the companies that hold the data as well as showing them how they may benefit from this research. Part of this trust is gained through established reputation and the other through the technology used to safeguard the data. This paper discusses how different technology frameworks have been applied to safeguard the data and facilitate collaborative work between commercial concerns and academic institutions. The paper focuses on the distinctive requirements of e-Social Science: access to large-scale data on behaviour in society in environments that impose confidentiality constraints on access. These constraints arise from both privacy concerns and the commercial sensitivities of that data. In particular, the paper draws on the experiences of building an intercontinental Grid–INWA–from its first operation connecting Australia and Scotland to its subsequent extension to China across the Trans-Eurasia Information Network–the first large-scale research and education network for the Asia-Pacific region. This allowed commercial data to be analysed by experts that were geographically distributed across the globe. It also provided an entry point for a major Chinese commercial organization to approve use of a Grid solution in a new collaboration provided the centre of gravity of the data is retained within the jurisdiction of the data owner. We describe why, despite this approval, an embedded solution was eventually adopted. We find that ‘data sovereignty’ dominates any decision on whether and how to participate in e-Social Science collaborations and how this might impact on a Cloud based solution to this type of collaboration.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5</style></issue></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fan Zhu</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rodríguez, David</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Carpenter, Trevor K.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Atkinson, Malcolm P.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Wardlaw, Joanna M.</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lesion Area Detection Using Source Image Correlation Coefficient for CT Perfusion Imaging</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">IEEE Journal of Biomedical and Health Informatics</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">CT , Pattern Recognition , Perfusion Source Images , Segmentation</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2013</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">03/2013</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">PP</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1-8</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Computer tomography (CT) perfusion imaging is widely used to calculate brain hemodynamic quantities such as Cerebral Blood Flow (CBF), Cerebral Blood Volume (CBV) and Mean Transit Time (MTT) that aid the diagnosis of acute stroke. Since perfusion source images contain more information than hemodynamic maps, good utilisation of the source images can lead to better understanding than the hemodynamic maps alone. Correlation-coefficient tests are used in our approach to measure the similarity between healthy tissue time-concentration curves and unknown curves. This information is then used to differentiate penumbra and dead tissues from healthy tissues. The goal of the segmentation is to fully utilize information in the perfusion source images. Our method directly identifies suspected abnormal areas from perfusion source images and then delivers a suggested segmentation of healthy, penumbra and dead tissue. This approach is designed to handle CT perfusion images, but it can also be used to detect lesion areas in MR perfusion images.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">99</style></issue></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>5</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Snelling, David</style></author></authors><secondary-authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Malcolm Atkinson</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Baxter, Robert M.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Peter Brezany</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Oscar Corcho</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Michelle Galea</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Parsons, Mark</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Snelling, David</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">van Hemert, Jano</style></author></secondary-authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Platforms for Data-Intensive Analysis</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">THE DATA BONANZA: Improving Knowledge Discovery for Science, Engineering and Business</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Data-Intensive Engineering</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Data-Intensive Systems</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dispel</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Distributed Systems</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2013</style></year></dates><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">9</style></section><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">John Wiley &amp; Sons Ltd.</style></publisher><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">197-201</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Part III: &quot;Data-intensive engineering&quot;, is targeted at technical experts who will develop complex applications, new components, or data-intensive platforms.

problem in the area of portals for scientific computing; both take the same approach. The whole process

Microarray technology is a popular means of producing whole genome transcriptional profiles, however high cost and scarcity of mRNA has led many studies to be conducted based on the analysis of single samples. We exploit the design of the Illumina platform, specifically multiple arrays on each chip, to evaluate intra-experiment technical variation using repeated hybridisations of universal human reference RNA (UHRR) and duplicate hybridisations of primary breast tumour samples from a clinical study.

Results

A clear batch-specific bias was detected in the measured expressions of both the UHRR and clinical samples. This bias was found to persist following standard microarray normalisation techniques. However, when mean-centering or empirical Bayes batch-correction methods (ComBat) were applied to the data, inter-batch variation in the UHRR and clinical samples were greatly reduced. Correlation between replicate UHRR samples improved by two orders of magnitude following batch-correction using ComBat (ranging from 0.9833-0.9991 to 0.9997-0.9999) and increased the consistency of the gene-lists from the duplicate clinical samples, from 11.6% in quantile normalised data to 66.4% in batch-corrected data. The use of UHRR as an inter-batch calibrator provided a small additional benefit when used in conjunction with ComBat, further increasing the agreement between the two gene-lists, up to 74.1%.

Conclusion

In the interests of practicalities and cost, these results suggest that single samples can generate reliable data, but only after careful compensation for technical bias in the experiment. We recommend that investigators appreciate the propensity for such variation in the design stages of a microarray experiment and that the use of suitable correction methods become routine during the statistical analysis of the data. </style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">134</style></issue></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dobrzelecki, B.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Krause, A.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hume, A.

Until recently, it lacked the built-in functionality that would allow easy creation of federations of distributed data sources. The latest release of the OGSA-DAI framework introduced the OGSA-DAI DQP (Distributed Query Processing) resource. The new resource encapsulates a distributed query processor, that is able to orchestrate distributed data sources when answering declarative user queries. The query processor has many extensibility points, making it easy to customize. We have also introduced a new OGSA-DAI Views  resource that provides a flexible method for defining views over relational data. The interoperability of the two new resources, together with the flexibility of the OGSA-DAI framework, allows the building of highly customized data integration solutions.

Medical imaging acquired for clinical purposes can have several legitimate secondary uses in research projects and teaching libraries. No commonly accepted solution for anonymising these images exists because the amount of personal data that should be preserved varies case by case. Our objective is to provide a flexible mechanism for anonymising Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) data that meets the requirements for deployment in multicentre trials.
Methods  
We reviewed our current de-identification practices and defined the relevant use cases to extract the requirements for the de-identification process. We then used these requirements in the design and implementation of the toolkit. Finally, we tested the toolkit taking as a reference those requirements, including a multicentre deployment.
Results  
The toolkit successfully anonymised DICOM data from various sources. Furthermore, it was shown that it could forward anonymous data to remote destinations, remove burned-in annotations, and add tracking information to the header. The toolkit also implements the DICOM standard confidentiality mechanism.
Conclusion

Through a year‐long consultation with UK researchers, a coherent strategy has been developed, which will nurture Century‐of‐Information Research (CIR); it crystallises the ideas developed by the e‐Science Directors’ Forum Strategy Working Group. This paper is an abridged version of their latest report which can be found at: http://wikis.nesc.ac.uk/escienvoy/Century_of_Information_Research_Strategy which also records the consultation process and the affiliations of the authors. This document is derived from a paper presented at the Oxford e‐Research Conference 2008 and takes into account suggestions made in the ensuing panel discussion.

The goals of the CIR Strategy are to facilitate the growth of UK research and innovation that is data and computationally intensive and to develop a new culture of ‘digital‐systems judgement’ that will equip research communities, businesses, government and society as a whole, with the skills essential to compete and prosper in the Century of Information. The CIR Strategy identifies a national requirement for a balanced programme of coordination, research, infrastructure, translational investment and education to empower UK researchers, industry, government and society. The Strategy is designed to deliver an environment which meets the needs of UK researchers so that they can respond agilely to challenges, can create knowledge and skills, and can lead new kinds of research. It is a call to action for those engaged in research, those providing data and computational facilities, those governing research and those shaping education policies. The ultimate aim is to help researchers strengthen the international competitiveness of the UK research base and increase its contribution to the economy.

The objectives of the Strategy are to better enable UK researchers across all disciplines to contribute world‐leading fundamental research; to accelerate the translation of research into practice; and to develop improved capabilities, facilities and context for research and innovation. It envisages a culture that is better able to grasp the opportunities provided by the growing wealth of digital information. Computing has, of course, already become a fundamental tool in all research disciplines. The UK e‐Science programme (2001–06)—since emulated internationally—pioneered the invention and use of new research methods, and a new wave of innovations in digital‐information technologies which have enabled them. The Strategy argues that the UK must now harness and leverage its own, plus the now global, investment in digital‐information technology in order to spread the benefits as widely as possible in research, education, industry and government.

Implementing the Strategy would deliver the computational infrastructure and its benefits as envisaged in the Science &amp; Innovation Investment Framework 2004–2014 (July 2004), and in the reports developing those proposals.

To achieve this, the Strategy proposes the following actions:
	

1. support the continuous innovation of digital‐information research methods;
2. provide easily used, pervasive and sustained e‐Infrastructure for all research;
3. enlarge the productive research community which exploits the new methods efficiently;
4. generate capacity, propagate knowledge and develop skills via new curricula; and
5. develop coordination mechanisms to improve the opportunities for interdisciplinary research and to make digital‐infrastructure provision more cost effective.

To gain the best value for money strategic coordination is required across a broad spectrum of stakeholders. A coherent strategy is essential in order to establish and sustain the UK as an international leader of well‐curated national data assets and computational infrastructure, which is expertly used to shape policy, support decisions, empower researchers and to roll out the results to the wider benefit of society. The value of data as a foundation for wellbeing and a sustainable society must be appreciated; national resources must be more wisely directed to the collection, curation, discovery, widening access, analysis and exploitation of these data. Every researcher must be able to draw on skills, tools and computational resources to develop insights, test hypotheses and translate inventions into productive use, or to extract knowledge in support of governmental decision making. This foundation plus the skills developed will launch significant advances in research, in business, in professional practice and in government with many consequent benefits for UK citizens. The Strategy presented here addresses these complex and interlocking requirements.</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fergusson, D.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hopkins, R.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Romano, D.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vander Meer, E.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Atkinson, M.</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Distributed Computing Education, Part 1: A Special Case?</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">IEEE Distributed Systems Online</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2008</style></year></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://dsonline.computer.org/portal/site/dsonline/menuitem.9ed3d9924aeb0dcd82ccc6716bbe36ec/index.jsp?&amp;pName=dso_level1&amp;path=dsonline/2008/06&amp;file=o6002edu.xml&amp;xsl=article.xsl&amp;;jsessionid=LZ5zjySvc2xPnVv4qTYJXhlvwSnRGGj7S7WvPtrPyv23rJGQdjJr!982319602</style></url></web-urls></urls><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">9</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">0806-o6002</style></pages><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></issue></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fergusson, D.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hopkins, R.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Romano, D.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vander Meer, E.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Atkinson, M.</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Distributed Computing Education, Part 2: International Summer Schools</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">IEEE Distributed Systems Online</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2008</style></year></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://dsonline.computer.org/portal/site/dsonline/menuitem.9ed3d9924aeb0dcd82ccc6716bbe36ec/index.jsp?&amp;pName=dso_level1&amp;path=dsonline/2008/07&amp;file=o7002edu.xml&amp;xsl=article.xsl&amp;</style></url></web-urls></urls><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">9</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">0807-o7002</style></pages><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">7</style></issue></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Low, B.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cassidy, K.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fergusson, D.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Atkinson, M.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vander Meer, E.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">McGeever, M.</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Distributed Computing Education, Part 3: The Winter School Online Experience</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Distributed Systems Online</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2008</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">09/2008</style></date></pub-dates></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&amp;arnumber=4659260</style></url></web-urls></urls><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">IEEE Computer Society</style></publisher><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">9</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">8</style></pages><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The International Summer Schools in Grid Computing (ISSGC) have provided numerous international students with the opportunity to learn grid systems, as detailed in part 2 of this series (http://doi.ieeecomputersociety.org/10.1109/MDSO.2008.20). The International Winter School on Grid Computing 2008 (IWSGC 08) followed the successful summer schools, opening up the ISSGC experience to a wider range of students because of its online format. The previous summer schools made it clear that many students found the registration and travel costs and the time requirements prohibitive. The EU FP6 ICEAGE project held the first winter school from 6 February to 12 March 2008. The winter school repurposed summer school materials and added resources such as the ICEAGE digital library and summer-school-tested t-Infrastructures such as GILDA (Grid INFN Laboratory for Dissemination Activities).

The winter schools shared the goals of the summer school, which emphasized disseminating grid knowledge. The students act as multipliers, spreading the skills and knowledge they acquired at the winter school to their colleagues to build strong and enthusiastic local grid communities.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">9</style></issue></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fergusson, D.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Barbera, R.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Giorgio, E.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fargetta, M.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sipos, G.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Romano, D.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Atkinson, M.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vander Meer, E.</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Distributed Computing Education, Part 4: Training Infrastructure</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Distributed Systems Online</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2008</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">10/2008</style></date></pub-dates></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&amp;arnumber=4752926</style></url></web-urls></urls><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">IEEE Computer Society</style></publisher><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">9</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></pages><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">In the first article of this series (see http://doi.ieeecomputersociety.org/10.1109/MDSO.2008.16), we identified the need for teaching environments that provide infrastructure to support education and training in distributed computing. Training infrastructure, or t-infrastructure, is analogous to the teaching laboratory in biology and is a vital tool for educators and students. In practice, t-infrastructure includes the computing equipment, digital communications, software, data, and support staff necessary to teach a course. The International Summer Schools in Grid Computing (ISSGC) series and the first International Winter School on Grid Computing (IWSGC 08) used the Grid INFN Laboratory of Dissemination Activities (GILDA) infrastructure so students could gain hands-on experience with middleware.

have major economic and social benefits. Online and financial businesses already
successfully use grid computing technologies, for instance. There are already demonstrations
showing the benefits to engineering, medicine and the creative industries as well. New
research methods and technologies generate large data sets that need to be shared in order to
ensure continued social and scientific research and innovation. e-Infrastructure provides an
environment for coping with these large data sets and for sharing data across regions. An
investment in educating people in this technology, then, is an investment that will strengthen
our economies and societies. In order to deliver e-Infrastructure education and training
successfully in the EU, we must develop a policy framework that will ensure shared
responsibility and equivalent training in the field. This document focuses primarily on the
current state of grid and e-Science education, introducing key challenges and the
opportunities available to educational planners that serve as a starting point for further work.
It then proposes strategies and policies to provide a supportive framework for e-Infrastructure
education and training.

The ETTF Report concludes with policy recommendations to be taken forward by the e-IRG.
These recommendations address issues such as the level of Member State investment in

Combinations are formed by applying operators to curated gene expression patterns from the atlas, thereby resembling gene interactions in a spatial context. The space of combinations is searched using an evolutionary algorithm with the objective of finding the best match to a given target pattern.

We focus specifically on the identification of barriers and enablers of uptake and the taxonomy developed to structure our findings. Based on these findings, we describe the development of a number of interventions such as training and outreach events, workshops and the deployment of a UK 'one-stop-shop' for support and event information as well as training material. Finally, we will describe how the project relates to other ongoing community engagement efforts in the UK and worldwide. Introduction Existing investments in e-Science and Grid computing technologies have helped to develop the capacity to build e-Infrastructures for research: distributed, networked, interoperable computing and data resources that are available to underpin a wide range of research activities in all research disciplines. In the UK, the Research Councils and the JISC are funding programmes to support the development of essential components of such infrastructures such as National Grid Service (www.ngs.ac.uk) or the UK Access Management Federation (www.ukfederation.org.uk) as well as discipline-specific efforts to build consistent and accessible instantiations of e-Infrastructures, for example the e- Infrastructure for the Social Sciences (Daw et al. 2007). These investments are complemented by an active programme of community engagement (Voss et al. 2007). As part of the community engagement strand of its e-Infrastructure programme, JISC has funded the e-Uptake project, a collaboration between the ESRC National Centre for e-Social Science at the University of Manchester, the Arts &amp; Humanities e-Science Support Centre at King's College London and the National e-Science Centre at the University of Edinburgh. In this paper we present the project's activities to date to widen the uptake of e-Infrastructure services by eliciting information about the barriers to and enablers of uptake, developing adequate interventions such as training and outreach events, running workshops and the deploying a UK 'one-stop-shop' for support and event information as well as training material. </style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>47</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chue Hong, N.

The original emphasis of grid computing lay in the sharing of computational resources but technological and scientific advances have led to an ongoing data explosion in many fields. However, data is stored in many different storage systems and data formats, with different schema, access rights, metadata attributes, and ontologies all of which are obstacles to the access, integration and management of this information.

In this chapter we examine some of the ways in which these differences can be addressed by grid technology to enable the meaningful sharing of data. In particular, we present an overview of the OGSA-DAI (Open Grid Service Architecture - Data Access and Integration) software, which provides a uniform, extensible framework for accessing structured and semi-structured data and provide some examples of its use in other projects. The open-source OGSA-DAI software is freely available from http://www.ogsadai.org.uk.</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>47</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ure, J.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Proctor, R.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Martone, M.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Porteous, D.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lloyd, S.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lawrie, S.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Job, D.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Baldock, R.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Philp, A.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Liewald, D.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rakebrand, F.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Blaikie, A.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">McKay, C.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Anderson, S.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ainsworth, J.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">van Hemert, J.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Blanquer, I.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sinno</style></author></authors><secondary-authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">N.

Many of these mistakes have been attributed to a lack of information about the conditions within the fire and the imminent consequences of the event.

E-Science offers an opportunity to significantly improve the intervention in fire emergencies. The FireGrid Consortium is working on a mixture of research projects to make this vision a reality. This paper describes the research challenges and our plans for solving them.</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>47</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Antonioletti, M.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Atkinson, M.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hong, N.

They are used as local improvement strategies within a variable neighbourhood search (VNS), an evolutionary algorithm (EA) utilising a new encoding of solutions, and an ant colony optimisation (ACO).We compare the performance in terms of effectiveness between these three hybrid methods on a suite  f popular benchmark instances, which contains instances too large to solve by current exact methods. Our results show that the EA and the ACO outperform the VNS on almost all used benchmark instances. Furthermore, the ACO yields most of the time better solutions than the EA in long-term runs, whereas the EA dominates when the computation time is strongly restricted.</style></abstract><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">inproceedings</style></work-type></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>47</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dobrzelecki, B.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Antonioletti, M.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Schopf, J.

The e-Science vision of a globally connected community has broader application than science with the same fundamental technologies being used to support eCommerce and e-Government. 

The broadest vision of e-Science outlines a challenging research agenda for the computing community. New theories and models will be needed to provide a sound foundation for the tools used to specify, design, analyse and prove the properties of future grid technologies and applications. Fundamental research is needed in order to build a future e-Science infrastructure and to understand how to exploit the infrastructure to best effect. 

A future infrastructure needs to be dynamic, universally available and promote trust. Realising this infrastructure will need new theories, methods and techniques to be developed and deployed. Although often not directly visible these fundamental infrastructure advances will provide the foundation for future scientific advancement, wealth generation and governance. 

• We need to move from the current data focus to a semantic grid with facilities for the generation, support and traceability of knowledge. 
• We need to make the infrastructure more available and more trusted by developing trusted ubiquitous systems. 
• We need to reduce the cost of development by enabling the rapid customised assembly of services. 
• We need to reduce the cost and complexity of managing the infrastructure by realising autonomic computing systems.

Scheduling of multiple observations parallel in time, each having their own constraints, requires a more intelligent and flexible scheduling function then operated before.  
	  In support of the LOFAR radio telescope project, and in co-operation with Leiden University, Fokker Space has started a study to investigate the suitability of the use of evolutionary algorithms applied to complex scheduling problems. After a positive familiarisation phase, we now examine the potential use of evolutionary algorithms via a demonstration project. Results of the familiarisation phase, and the first results of the demonstration project are presented in this paper.</style></abstract><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">inproceedings</style></work-type></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>47</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Eggermont, J.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">van Hemert, J.

The project only started up in February 2001, and this collection (frozen at 1 Sept 2001) shows that it got off to a productive start. Versions of some of these papers have been submitted to conferences and workshops: the website will have more information on publication status and history.
GRUMPS decided to begin with a first study, partly to help the team coalesce. This involved installing two pieces of software in a first year computing science lab: one (the &quot;UAR&quot;) to record a large volume of student actions at a low level with a view to mining them later, another (the &quot;LSS&quot;) directly designed to assist tutor-student interaction. Some of the papers derive from that, although more are planned. Results from this first study can be found on the website. The project also has a link to UWA in Perth, Western Australia, where related software has already been developed and used as described in one of the papers. Another project strand concerns using handsets in lecture theatres to support interactivity there, as two other papers describe. As yet unrepresented in this collection, GRUMPS will also be entering the bioinformatics application area.

The GRUMPS project operates on several levels. It is based in the field of Distributed Information Management (DIM), expecting to cover both mobile and static nodes, synchronous and detached clients, high and low volume data sources. The specific focus of the project (see the original proposal on the web site) is to address records of computational activity (where any such pre-existing usage might have extra record collection installed) and data experimentation, where the questions to be asked of the data emerge concurrently with data collection which will therefore be dynamically modifiable: a requirement that further pushes on the space of DIM. The level above concerns building and making usable tools for asking questions of the data, or rather of the activities that generate the data. Above that again is the application domain level: what the original computational activities serve, education and bioinformatics being two identified cases.  The GRUMPS team is therefore multidisciplinary, from DIM architecture researchers to educational evaluators. The mix of papers reflects this.</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>5</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Atkinson, M.</style></author></authors><secondary-authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Klaus Dittrich</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Giovanna Guerrini</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Isabella Merlo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Marta Oliva</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">M.

The JavaTM programming language is a typical example of a strongly-typed, object-oriented programming language that is becoming popular for building enterprise applications. It therefore needs persistence. The present options for obtaining this persistence are reviewed. We conclude that the Orthogonal Persistence Hypothesis, OPH, is still persuasive. It states that the universal and automated provision of longevity or brevity for all data will significantly enhance developer productivity and improve applications. This position paper reports on the PJama project with particular reference to its test of the OPH. We review why orthogonal persistence has not been taken up widely, and why the OPH is still incompletely tested. This leads to a more general challenge of how to conduct experiments which reveal large-scale and long-term effects and some thoughts on how that challenge might be addressed by the software research community. </style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>5</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Atkinson, M.

It depends on a new persistent object store, Sphere, and provides facilities for class evolution. This evolution technology supports an arbitrary set of changes to the classes, which may have arbitrarily large populations of persistent objects. We verify that the changes are safe. When there are format changes, we also convert all of the instances, while leaving their identities unchanged. We aspire to both very large persistent object stores and freedom for developers to specify arbitrary conversion methods in Java to convey information from old to new formats.

Evolution operations must be safe and the evolution cost should be approximately linear in the number of objects that must be reformatted. In order that these conversion methods can be written easily, we continue to present the pre-evolution state consistently to Java executions throughout an evolution. At the completion of applying all of these transformations, we must switch the store state to present only the post-evolution state, with object identity preserved. We present an algorithm that meets these requirements for eager, total conversion.

This paper focuses on the mechanisms built into Sphere to support safe, atomic and scalable evolution. We report our experiences in using this technology and include a preliminary set of performance measurements.

The first genetic programming variant is weighting data records for calculating the classification error and modifying the weights during the run. Hereby the algorithm is defining its own fitness function in an on-line fashion giving higher weights to `hard' records. Another novel feature we study is the atomic representation, where `Booleanization' of data is not performed at the root, but at the leafs of the trees and only Boolean functions are used in the trees' body.  As a third aspect we look at generational and steady-state models in combination of both features.</style></abstract><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">inproceedings</style></work-type></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>47</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">van Hemert, J.
