I also argue that eScience will play a critical role in addressing the biggest challenge facing the planet - namely climate change. The same tools used in eScinece and cyber-infrastructure such as SOA, grids, networks, clouds and virtualization can also be applied to building a zero carbon IT infrastructure and support gCommerce applications to reduce carbon footprint in other sectors of society. eScience will also democratize science and make it accessible to a much larger community of students and general public (http://citizen-science.blogspot.com/) Some excerpts from InternetEvolution-BSA] http://www.internetevolution.com/author.asp?section_id=625&doc_id=181264&f_s rc=internetevolution_gnews E-Science Will Fuel Enterprise Innovation Written by Mary <http://www.internetevolution.com/profile.asp?piddl_userid=16419> Jander Getting a handle on e-science is a bit of a challenge, since there seem to be several definitions. Here's a sampling: * Microsoft Corp. <http://www.internetevolution.com/complink_redirect.asp?vl_id=3426> (Nasdaq: MSFT), which will host an e-science event next month <http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/events/escience2009/> , says e-science addresses how "Web services and database technologies are being applied to scientific computing." The workshop at the event will focus on "Facilitating Scientific Discovery through Data-Intensive Computing." Google <http://www.internetevolution.com/complink_redirect.asp?vl_id=2294> (Nasdaq: GOOG)'s Wave technology has been cited as a new tool for e-science <http://www.william-garrity.com/journal-home/2009/8/25/google-wave-in-scient ific-communication.html> . Amazon Web Services LLC <http://www.internetevolution.com/complink_redirect.asp?vl_id=11381> has also been acknowledged as having explored techniques, albeit for commercial use, that could inform e-science. * Ed Lazowska, Bill and Melinda Gates Chair in Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Washington, says e-science is "sensor-driven (data-driven) science and engineering." It's about the analysis of massive amounts of data gathered from sensors and sensor networks on the Web, from databases, data mining, machine learning, and data visualization. In a presentation <http://lazowska.cs.washington.edu/wiche.pdf> given at a May 2009 conference, Lazowska maintained that any organization that doesn't pay attention to e-science will "simply cease to be competitive." What does this mean to the future of IT -- and your organization? For one thing, e-science should boost IT in general and the businesses it serves. It will create "the future of networking," according to Ed Lazowska. He also sees e-science as "driving advances in all fields of science and engineering," along with boosting education, medicine, and the "empowerment of the developing world." Academic research also has a track record of innovation that serves enterprises, so it's worthwhile to track e-science. ThinkerNetter Bill St. Arnaud wrote in a recent blog post <http://www.internetevolution.com/author.asp?section_id=506&doc_id=181041> that "the Internet originated with the R&E [research and education] community. Not many people realize, however, that the R&E community is also a major pioneer in new broadband architectures and business models." It's no surprise that vendors like Amazon, Google, IBM, and Microsoft have invested in e-science. Enterprises of the future will require more capable search engines <http://www.internetevolution.com/author.asp?section_id=687&doc_id=168364> , more sophisticated Web analytic tools for business <http://www.internetevolution.com/author.asp?section_id=625&doc_id=179909> , better "smart grid <http://www.internetevolution.com/author.asp?section_id=729&doc_id=171391> " energy options, and capabilities like sentiment analysis <http://www.internetevolution.com/author.asp?section_id=698&doc_id=177626> and other forms of machine intelligence that are characteristic of e-science. ------------------------------------- To subscribe or unsubscribe send e-mail to [email protected] These news items and comments are mine alone and do not necessarily reflect those of the CANARIE board or management. ------ [email protected] [email protected] http://billstarnaud.blogspot.com/ ------=_NextPart_000_0200_01CA2CA2.1DEA7830 Content-Type: text/html;
