Presentation I gave at Cybera Summit 2010 in Banff, AB (September 21 - 22, 2010). Discusses different Web 2.0 / social networking technologies that can enable collaborative science and example uses of these technologies as part of collaborative science portals/gateways. Examples include a few projects that the Grid Research Centre at the University of Calgary is involved in including: GeoChronos, CyberSKA and WaterCloud - all of these projects make use of the Elgg open source social networking platform.

CFP: GCE 2010 (Gateway Computing Environments)
CALL FOR PAPERS - GCE 2010
***Submission Deadline - September 5, 2010***
Gateway Computing Environments
(Workshop at SC 2010)
November 14, 2010
New Orleans, LA, USA
Scientific portals and gateways are important components of many large-scale Grid and Cloud computing projects. They are characterized by Web-based environments, which include, but are not limited to, user interfaces and services that securely access Grid and Cloud resources, data, applications, and collaboration environments for communities of scientists. As a result, the scientific portals and gateways provide both a user-centric and a community-centric view (with social networking) of the cyber infrastructure.
Web technologies evolve rapidly, and trends such as Cloud Computing are changing the way many scientific users expect to interact with cyberinfrastructure resources. Academic clouds are being created using open source cloud technologies. Important Web standards such as Open Social, OpenID, and OAuth are changing the way Web portals are built, shared, and secured. It is the goal of the GCE workshop series to provide a venue for researchers to present pioneering, peer-reviewed work on the above discussed and other related topics to the international science gateway community.
Topics of interest include the following:
* Integration of Web 2.0 technologies with science gateways;
* Gateways to cloud computing services;
* Applications of virtual world technologies to science and education gateways;
* Social networks for scientific communities;
* Grid portals and gateways deployments, including User Portals, Application Portals, Science Gateways, Education Portals, User interface/usability studies;
* Design and architecture of Grid portals, portal containers, and gateways;
* Tools and frameworks that make developing Grid Portals and gateways easier;
* Portal security models and solutions;
* Middleware solutions in support of scientific portals and Gateways including Web Services, workflow and mashup composers and engines, and similar capabilities;
* Non-browser gateways: desktops and mobile computing gateways; and
* Summary and survey papers.

Slides from GeoChronos Presentation at #bcnet10
Presentation I gave at BCNET/CANARIE Conference 2010 (May 4-5, 2010) in Vancouver. It gives an overview of GeoChronos - and on-line collaborative portal for earth observation scientists built on social networking and cloud computing technologies. The presentation is primarily composed of a mix of slides from previous GeoChronos presentations that I have given.

Slides from "GeoChronos: Challenges and Achievements" presentation at #OGF28
Presentation I gave at OGF 28 in Munich (Mar. 15-18, 2010). It is about challenges and achievements to date in the GeoChronos project, which is aimed at the development of an on-line collaborative environment for earth observation scientists. The presentation is also available on the OGF site along with other presentations from the same session.

Cyber-SKA Canada Employment Opportunities
There are currently several employment opportunities at the University of Calgary (UofC) as part of the Cyber-SKA Canada project that I am Technical Coordinator for. Postings for employment opportunities at University of British Columbia (UBC) and McGill University should also be up soon. The CANARIE funded project will focus on development of cyberinfrastructure to process and analyze data that will be gathered by the Square Kilometre Array (SKA). See my previous blog posting for more details on this project.
Links to the UofC job postings are below. The application deadline for all positions is January 15, 2010.
