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.

Square Kilometre Array project awarded more than $2 million

The Grid Research Centre (GRC) will be a participant in the Cyber-SKA Canada project, recently awarded over $2 million dollars as part of the CANARIE Network Enabled Platforms (NEP2) program. The project, led by Dr. Russ Taylor, head of the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Calgary, will involve development of cyberinfrastructure to process and analyze data that will be gathered by the Square Kilometre Array (SKA). The SKA will be the world's largest radio telescope when completed around 2020. For more details on this project see the following media release by the University of Calgary: http://people.ucalgary.ca/~ria/2009/December2009/ska.html

#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.

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.
