This report documents the program and the outcomes of Dagstuhl Seminar 16041 “Reproducibility of Data-Oriented Experiments in e-Science”. In many subfields of computer science, experiments play an important role. Besides theoretic properties of algorithms or methods, their effectiveness and performance often can only be validated via experimentation. In most of these cases, the experimental res...

Due to its intensive data processing and highly distributed organization, the multidisciplinary Earth Science applications community is uniquely positioned for the uptake and exploitation of Grid technologies. Currently Enabling Grids for E-sciencE, and other large Grid infrastructures are already deployed and capable of operational services. So far however, the adoption and exploitation of Gri...

Two Australian computer science departments have worked together to introduce the world’s first degrees in “eScience”. In both universities, the eScience programs have had a positive, lasting impact on the computer science curricula. In the case of the Australian National University, the eScience programs have become self-funding and have helped to position the university well for future strate...

The research into e-Science infrastructures has changed the face of traditional scientific methods. The maturity of grid technology to get the data distributed around the globe has raised possibilities to perform ground-breaking research within a specific scientific community. However, the governance and management of user support services of e-Science infrastructures yet remain an under-studie...

The PeriodO period gazetteer collects definitions of time periods made by archaeologists and other historical scholars. In constructing the gazetteer, we sought to make period definitions parsable and comparable by computers while also retaining the broader scholarly context in which they were conceived. Our approach resulted in a dataset of period definitions and their provenances that resembl...

Collaboration has become a dominant feature of modern science. Many scientific problems are beyond the realm of individual discipline or scientist to solve and hence require collaborative efforts. Meanwhile, today’s science becomes increasingly more dataintensive, resulting in a rapid transition from computational science to e-Science (or digital science). Recently, scientific workflows have em...

now-a-days, due to the quick growth of science and technology, institutionalization of learning organizations sounds as more important among public service organizations, and that is because they should be able to offer better services to their customers in accordance with the quick changes of science and technology. one of these organizations to be emphasized upon is jahad-e-keshavarzi organiz...

Mechanism design, an important tool in microeconomics, has recently found widespread applications in modeling and solving decentralized design problems in many branches of engineering, notably computer science, electronic commerce, and network economics. Mechanism design is concerned with settings where a social planner faces the problem of aggregating the announced preferences of multiple agen...
