Valuing Diverse Computing Science Research
Computing Science is a diverse, exciting, and expanding discipline. Inevitably the Computing Science community pulls itself in different directions, sometimes with the result that some worthwhile research is under-valued. This paper explores systemic issues of general applicability, and makes some constructive suggestions.
متن کاملScience Goals for Antarctic Infrared Telescopes
Over the past few years, site-testing at the South Pole has revealed conditions that are uniquely favourable for infrared astronomy. In particular, the exceptionally low sky brightness throughout the nearand mid-infrared leads to the possibility of a modest-sized telescope achieving comparable sensitivity to that of existing 8–10 metre class telescopes. An 8metre Antarctic telescope, if constru...
متن کاملe-Science from the Antarctic to the GRID
Monitoring life-processes in a frozen lake in the Antarctic raises many practical challenges. To supplement manual monitoring we have designed, built and successfully deployed a remote monitoring device on one of the lakes of interest. This returns data to the Antarctic base over the Iridium satellite phone network. This provides us with a new and uniquely detailed view of the lifeprocesses in ...

متن کاملValuing Nature
Nature conservation work has come a long way in just over a century. In the 19th century, species were grouped into useful and harmful ones. Protection, which was beginning to be enshrined in laws and international treaties, was only extended to the useful species. Nuisances such as lions and bears were unflinchingly earmarked for destruction. Since the foundation of the International Union for...
