Third International Conference on e-Social Science
7 - 9 October 2007
Ann Arbor, Michigan, US
The UK ESRC funded National Centre for e-Social Science (NCeSS) was
formed in 2004 to explore how new forms of distributed, computer-based
infrastructure (known as the 'Grid' in the UK and 'cyberinfrastructure'
in the US) can be applied to benefit the social sciences. Essentially,
cyberinfrastructure is the computing and networking technologies that
will enable the discovery, access to, integration, manipulation,
analysis and display of the huge bodies of digital data that are
becoming available.
The aim of this third conference is to bring together international
representatives of the social science and cyberinfrastructure research
communities in order to create better mutual awareness, harmonize
understanding, and instigate coordinated activities to accelerate
research, development, and deployment of cyberinfrastructure to support
the social science research community. A related objective is to
articulate both the technical and social/organizational prerequisites
for success in these endeavours.
The e-Social Science 2007 Conference will feature three keynote
speakers:
- Daniel E. Atkins, first director of the U.S. National Science
Foundation's Office of Cyberinfrastructure
- Roberta Balstad, who until recently was director of Columbia
University's Center for International Earth Science Information Network
(CIESIN)
- Carole Goble, director of the myGrid project in the UK, the largest UK
e- Science pilot project.
For full details on this conference, and to register, please visit

October, 12 noon.
