The aim of this paper is to showcase recent developments in the UK arts and humanities e-Science initiative. A specific grass-roots research agenda in arts and humanities e-Science has been developing over the past few years in the UK. In this paper, we will look at the new research questions and institutions emerging in the many e-Science grass-roots activities.

e-Science projects face a difficult challenge in providing access to valuable computational resources, data and software to large communities of distributed users. On the one hand, the raison d’être of the projects is to encourage members of their research communities to use the resources provided. On the other hand, the threats to these resources from online attacks require robust and effectiv...

This paper aims at designing a possible path of convergence between the Open Access and the Semantic Web communities. In section 2, it focuses on the problems that the current Web has to face to become a fully effective research means, with particular regard to the question of selection according to subjective quality criteria. Section 3 exposes the main principles and standards which lie behin...

To a large degree information and services for chemical eScience have become accessible -anytime, anywhere -but not necessarily useful. The Rule Responder eScience middleware is about providing information consumers with rule-based agents to transform existing information into relevant information of practical consequences, hence providing control to the end-users to express in a declarative ru...

In this paper we present a new paradigm for the identification of datasets extracted from the Virtual Atomic and Molecular Data Centre (VAMDC) e-science infrastructure. Such identification includes information on the origin and version of the datasets, references associated to individual data in the datasets, as well as timestamps linked to the extraction procedure. This paradigm is described t...

E-government and related Information and Communication Technology (ICT) are commonly understood to provide a great opportunity to innovate the business of government by fostering efficiency and reforming public management. This paper argues that the main approaches and methodologies used for the development of egovernment applications, services and infrastructure overlook the potential to provi...

The CoAKTinG project aims to advance the state of the art in collaborative mediated spaces for the Semantic Grid. This paper presents an overview of the hypertext and knowledge based tools which have been deployed to augment existing collaborative environments, and the ontology which is used to exchange structure, promote enhanced process tracking, and aid navigation of resources before, after,...

The computability and decidability an introduction for students of computer science that we provide for you will be ultimate to give preference. This reading book is your chosen book to accompany you when in your free time, in your lonely. This kind of book can help you to heal the lonely and get or add the inspirations to be more inoperative. Yeah, book as the widow of the world can be very in...

This paper formulates a conceptual model for designing wireless sensor networks as a development enabling tool in extremely resource-limited environments. The model effectively integrates the conventional communications and networking approach with data processing techniques and usability interfaces. The paper also highlights several novel design mechanisms that have been developed around the p...
