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.

Slides from "Social Networking and Scientific Gateways" presentation at #SC09
Presentation I gave as part of the Grid Computing Environments (GCE) Workshop at SC09 in Portland on Nov. 20, 2009. Describes different approaches for integrating social networking in scientific gateways, and highlights our experiences using Facebook, Ning and Elgg in developing the GeoChronos scientific gateway. Paper can be found here.

#SC09 demo schedule for the @GeoChronos scientific gateway (Visit booth 142)
I will be demonstrating the GeoChronos scientific gateway (http://geochronos.org/) at SC09 in Portland. GeoChronos, which is funded as part of the CANARIE Network Enabled Platforms (NEP) program, is an on-line collaborative platform for earth observation scientists that leverages social networking, cloud computing and Semantic Web technologies.
Demonstrations will take place at the Compute Canada - CANARIE booth (#142) at the following times:
Tuesday Nov. 17th: 2pm - 3pm
Wednesday Nov. 18th: 2pm - 3pm
Note that on Friday Nov. 20 at 1:30 p.m. I will be presenting a paper entitled "Social Networking and Scientific Gateways" as part of the Grid Computing Environments (GCE) workshop at SC09. It is a paper co-authored by Roger Curry, myself and Rob Simmonds that compares several approaches for integrating social networking into scientific gateways. It highlights our experience using Facebook, Ning and Elgg in the development of GeoChronos.

Schedule of GRC Presentations/Demonstrations at Summit 09
I will be giving several presentations/demonstrations on behalf of the Grid Research Centre (GRC) at Summit 09 in Banff from Oct. 12 - Oct. 16, 2009. Below is the schedule. Please come check them out if you will be at Summit 09!
- 6:30p.m., Tuesday Oct. 13, 2009 - Dynamic Provisioning of Service Environments with ASPEN as part of the Summit 09 Cloud Challenge
- I will demonstrate a cloud-based infrastructure for dynamically provisioning virtualized resources called the Automated Service Provisioning ENvironment (ASPEN) , which we developed at the GRC in collaboration with HP Labs. I will showcase two different dynamically provisioned service environments that we are hosting in an ASPEN instance running on the HP Labs Data Centre at the University of Calgary. One is a comprehensive user environment for the Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) that allows users to upload and edit input files, submit simulations, interactively visualize results and share results via a Facebook based interface. The other, developed as part of a Cybera funded pilot project, is a graphical rendering environment built on top of the Elgg open source social network platform that enables users to render and share animations/movies. Virtual resources running the services for these environments are dynamically provisioned/reclaimed based on user demand.

- 10:30a.m., Wednesday Oct. 14, 2009 - Integration and Management of Diverse Environmental Data Sets as part of the New Frontiers in Data Integration Session
- I will give a presentation discussing some projects that the GRC is working on that involve managing and integrating a variety of environmental data sets. I will discuss the use of Semantic Web technologies such as the Resource Description Framework (RDF) for linking and mapping data and associated metadata and also provide some demonstrations of initial prototypes we have developed.

- We will demonstrate a platform called GeoChronos that we are developing as part of a CANARIE funded Network Enabled Platforms (NEP) project. It is an on-line platform leveraging social networking, cloud computing and Semantic Web technologies that is aimed at enabling earth observation scientists to access and share scientific data and applications more easily and to collaborate more effectively.

GeoChronos Presentation/Demonstration Given at CANARIE NEP-1 Synergy Workshop
One of the projects that the Grid Research Centre (GRC) is working on is GeoChronos (http://geochronos.org/), an on-line platform for earth observation scientists that facilitates collaboration, sharing of data and sharing of applications. It leverages social networking (Elgg) and cloud computing (ASPEN - another GRC project) technologies and is being funded as part of the CANARIE Network Enabled Platforms (NEP) Program.
Below is a presentation that a gave at the CANARIE NEP-1 Synergy Workshop in Winnipeg on April 21, 2009.
