This paper considers the ways in which virtual research environments (VREs) can provide a new context for practice-led research in dance. It will focus on the role VREs have played in the Stereobodies project in defining new methodological approaches to composition and the contribution to the ongoing debates concerning ‘presence’, ‘liveness’ and ‘virtual embodiment’ in performance. We focus on ...

There are a lot of life science databases and services on the Internet nowadays, especially in life science e-science. In this paper, we will present an E-Learning Semantic Grid that integrates these resources provided by both teachers and scientists for life science education. It uses domain ontologies to integrate these heterogeneous life science database and service resources, and supports o...

The annual e-Science All Hands Meeting (AHM) is the premier e-Science conference held regularly in the United Kingdom, and provides a forum for the e-Science community to present and demonstrate their research, exchange ideas and socialize. This Theme Issue, entitled 'e-Science: novel research, new science, and enduring impact', features selected papers from AHM 2010 with the aim of highlightin...

With the promises of e-commerce have come problems and opportunities for researchers and practitioners. One of these opportunities is taking a design science approach to e-commerce research. The argument is made that design science contributes to the theory in business school research. Contributions of design science to the research and practice of e-commerce are categorized into artifacts that...

Current digital preservation is strongly biased towards data objects: digital files of document-style objects, or encapsulated and largely self-contained objects. To provide authenticity and provenance information, comprehensive metadata models are deployed to document information on an object’s context. Yet, we claim that simply documenting an objects context may not be sufficient to ensure pr...
