Ten steps on the e-Science path(s)

1. Ten steps on the e-Science path(s) Malcolm Atkinson mpa@nesc.ac.uk 16 June 2011 Celebrating ten yearsof e-Science in the UKOxford e-Research Centre 1

2. We didn’t start from scratch! • Tycho Brahe and Johannes Kepler • 1546-1601 & 1571-1630 • Dennis Noble uses Mercury • The London University Computer in 1959 • to demonstrate heart beats as emergent behaviour • by simulating two ion channels • 2 papers in Nature 1960 • read “The Music of Life” by Dennis Noble

3. Think Conceptually

4. Definition of e-Science 2000 e-Science is about global collaboration in key areas of science, and the next generation of infrastructure that will enable it. e-Science will change the dynamic of the way science is undertaken. Sir John Taylor Director General of Research Councils Office of Science and Technology

16. September 2011, York The 2011 UK e-Science All Hands Meeting will provide a unique opportunity for researchers and practitioners from a wide-range of disciplines to discuss interdisciplinary research and develop the infrastructure that supports it. The 2011 UK All Hands Meeting aims to provoke and encourage collaboration across domains that would not otherwise meet, and will showcase the latest state-of-the-art e-Science research. Meeting co-chairs Professor Jie Xu, University of Leeds Professor Jim Austin, University of York Further Information www.allhands.org.uk ahm2011@wrg.york.ac.uk AHM 2010 in Cardiff
