Time-sharing Beneficial Time-sharing allows social science to experience the considerable economies of scale that come from paying such start up costs only once. A critical element of the TESS research strategy is multiple studies from different disciplines sharing common observational platforms, all exploiting the inferential power and measurement efficiencies of experimental designs. If the experiments were conducted independently, each investigator would use time to collect such data on their own - increasing redundancy and reducing overall efficiency. www.experimentcentral.org /tess/time.php   (510 words)

Copyright-sharing group delves into science Tech News on ZDNet An intellectual-property system that allows sharing between scientists is particularly important, given research grants that often make results proprietary, as well as recent international changes in patent law that expand the scope of data protection, the group said. "Wilbanks' addition as leader of the new Science Commons branch...marks a very exciting new phase, as the Creative Commons model is tested in uncharted areas of intellectual endeavor," Lawrence Lessig, Stanford Law School professor and organization founder, said in a statement. It also tapped entrepreneur John Wilbanks to be the director of its newly formed Science Commons division. news.zdnet.com /2100-9588_22-5447531.html?part=rss&tag=feed&subj=zdnet   (510 words)

Concurrency (computer science) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In computer science, concurrency is concerned with the study and design of systems which consist of computations that execute overlapped in time (including running in parallel), and which may permit the sharing of common resources between those overlapped computations. Some systems implement a form of transparent concurrency, in which multiple users may compete for and share a single resource, but the complexities of this competition and sharing are shielded from the user. The design of such concurrent systems often entails finding reliable techniques for coordinating their execution, data exchange, memory allocation, and execution scheduling in such a way as to minimize response time and maximise throughput. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Concurrency_(computer_science)   (359 words)

CAGIS.html Geographic information is uniquely different from other information types in several key respects, suggesting that a science of geographic information is particularly important if some of the barriers to effective use of this vitally important form of information are to be overcome. Geographic information technologies allow vital linkages to be made between apparently unrelated activities, based on common geographic location, and have led to a much higher level of integration and sharing between what were previously rigidly separated parts of an organization. Uncertainty information associated with a geographic data set can be conceived as a map depicting varying degrees of uncertainty associated with each of the features or phenomena represented in the data set, and potentially separable into three components: uncertainty in the typological attributes, uncertainty in the locational attributes, and uncertainty in spatial dependence. www.ncgia.ucsb.edu /other/ucgis/CAGIS.html   (359 words)

Data grid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The size and number of these data collections has been growing rapidly in recent years and will continue to grow as new experiments and sensors come on-line, the costs of computation and data storage decrease and perfomances increase, and new computational science applications are developed. A data grid is a grid computing system that deals with data—the controlled sharing and management of large amounts of distributed data. Current large-scale data grid projects include the Biomedical Informatics Research Network (BIRN), the Southern California Earthquake Center (SCEC), and the Real-time Observatories, Applications, and Data management Network (ROADNet), all of which make use of the SDSC Storage resource broker as the underlaying data grid technology. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Data_grid   (221 words)

validating precognition If we perform the whole experiment just ONCE, we have powerful evidence of dream precognition of a kind I hold to be truly scientific -- and a pathway for a dream science based on the raw data of experience. The involvement of the dream monitor (who may be your regular dream-sharing pal) is crucial, because this supplies external validation that the dream came before the corresponding physical event, and that the dream report was not edited. Share your dream as soon as possible with another person, BEFORE waking events catch up to the dream. www.mossdreams.com /validati.htm   (207 words)

Ontology (computer science) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A foundation ontology in computer science would serve as core ontology for both computer programs and users, influencing their view of data and events. A computer science example is that, by default, all computer programs have a foundation ontology consisting of a processor instruction set, standard library in a programming language, files in accessible file systems, or some other list of 'what exists'. The computer science usage of the term ontology is derived from the much older usage of the term ontology in philosophy. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Ontology_(computer_science)   (1545 words)

NeSC_042502_0.html Typically, a feature of such collaborative science is that it will require access to very large data collections, very large scale computing resources and high performance visualisation back to the individual user scientists. Although the Grid is being created to support the most challenging computations needed for science and engineering, it is expected that its model of managed resource-sharing is likely to be just as applicable in business or the home, in the same way that the World Wide Web evolved from specialist applications to universal public use. In addition to the £98m the Office of Science and Technology (OST) is investing in e-Science, the DTI has contributed £20m towards the e-Science core programme, ensuring UK industry and commerce has an opportunity to participate in the DTI/EPSRC-operated initiative. www.connors.com /press/NeSC_042502_0.html   (2578 words)

Technical Reports :: Princeton Computer Science By extensive closure sharing and allocating as many closures in registers as possible, our new closure conversion algorithm reduces heap allocation by 36% and memory fetches for local/global variables by 43%; and improves the already-efficient code generated by the Standard ML of New Jersey compiler by about 17% on a DECstation 5000. We have a new algorithm that exploits the use of compile-time control and data flow information to optimize closure representations. Moreover, unlike most other approaches, our new closure allocation scheme satisfies the strong ``safe for space complexity'' rule, thus achieving good asymptotic space usage. www.cs.princeton.edu /research/techreps/TR-454-94   (96 words)

HubLog: Science Commons Creative Commons is launching the exploratory phase of Science Commons, building on licensing schemes for Open Access publishers like PLOS and BMC, and entering into the realms of biomedical patents and data sharing. I have a question about the Attribution license for scientific papers, which allows anyone to 'make commercial use of the work': does 'the work' mean just the written words in the paper itself, or are you handing over the rights to the actual ideas described there?

The Astrophysics Data System and WWW In an environment of distributed data and interdisciplinary science, it is essential that data be accomplanied by a searchable database of metadata. Alternatively if the data or service is to be provided to the community in concert with other data and services, the ADS infrastructure, augmented with clear documentation available through the Xmosaic interface, may be a wise choice. Therefore, the developer or data provider does the same development of the metadata and data base organization to provide data regardless of the interface to be used. hea-www.harvard.edu /~ssm/Docs/ads_faq.html   (1464 words)

Interview with Dr. Jeffery Taubenberger Science derives a large measure of its power through the sharing of data and open debate.
