Afternoon Breakout Session 1 - Presentation 1

Title:

Collaborative eScience: Evolving Approaches

Speaker:Charles Severance - University of Michigan
Time:1:30 - 2:20 PM
Locations:Camden - Executive Meeting Room - Camden Campus Center
Newark - MPR West - Robeson Campus Center
New Brunswick - MPR - Busch Campus Center
Presentation Details:This presentation will look at how technology has been applied to Collaborative eScience domains from the early 1990's to the present and then look forward. First we will attempt to define Collaborative eScience. Then we will examine how different approaches have evolved over time as new technologies have become available to add to the mix of eScience approaches. We will track how eScience efforts have affected the evolution of technology. We will summarize the current technologies which are in common use in eScience and finally look forward at one possible model for approaching the next generation of eScience projects.
