NCeSS Showcase - New Research Tools for Social Scientists
Over the last 3 years the ESRC National Centre for e-Social Science
(www.ncess.ac.uk) has co-ordinated the development of new research tools
which harness the power of Grid computing for social scientists.
We would like to invite you to attend a showcase of these tools at the
University of Manchester from the 27 to the 29th March.
The three days will be of benefit to those working in Social Science and
others involved in Grid Computing, by updating them with recent
developments which can improve research methods and research times, as
well as informing them of trends and software which will impact on them in
the future.
A full programme is available on our website but amongst others, sessions
will cover:
-A look at relevant developments in Grid Computing at an
international/national and regional level
-A showcase of NCeSS successes including tools for virtual urban
environments, the semantic web and the collaborative analysis of audio-
visual qualitative data.
-An exploration of the benefits of Web2.0 technologies (as well as a
chance to separate the opportunity from the hype)
-Forthcoming developments from the National Grid Service
(http://www.grid-support.ac.uk/)
-P-Grade and how it can help with workflow visualisation
