Dear All
Please may we bring to your attention the following forthcoming event:
'Building Preservation Environments'
Speaker: Dr. Reagan W. Moore, San Diego Supercomputer Center
Date: 17 Feb 2006, 15:00 - 16:30 (GMT)
Location: Oxford Internet Institute, 1 St Giles, Oxford, OX1 3JS
Attendance: This event is open to the public, if you would like to attend
please email your name and affiliation to [log in to unmask]
This event is run in collaboration with DELOS (NoE in Digital Libraries)
Digital Preservation Cluster.
Abstract:
Multiple projects in the US are using data grid technology to build
preservation environments. The concept driving this approach is the
recognition that at the point in time when new technology is being
incorporated in a preservation environment, both the old and the new
technology are present. The data virtualization mechanisms provided by data
grids make it possible to interact simultaneously with both versions of the
technology. A preservation environment based on data grid technology
inherently contains the functionality needed to manage technology evolution.
I will discuss the concepts used to implement data grids (data
virtualization, trust virtualization, latency management, collection
management, and federation management) and map the concepts onto the
principles used to manage preservation environments (authenticity,
integrity, and infrastructure independence).
Biography:
Moore is Director of Data and Knowledge Systems at the San Diego
Supercomputer Center. He coordinates research efforts in development of
massive data analysis systems, data grids, digital libraries, and persistent
archives. Moore is the principal investigator for the development of the
Storage Resource Broker data grid technology, which is used to support
international shared collections. Moore has been at SDSC since its
inception, initially being responsible for operating system development.
Prior to that he worked as a computational plasma physicist at General
Atomics on equilibrium and stability of toroidal fusion devices. He has a
Ph.D. in plasma physics from the University of California, San Diego, (1978)
and a B.S. in physics from the California Institute of Technology (1967).
