  2. E-Science The systematic development of methods that exploit advances in ICT to enable better research

  3. Research Projects e-Infrastructure innovation Support of Communities & Breadth of Applications Support Synergy • > Five Years of Successful e-Science • Three Significant Strengths Established • Their synergy is vital

  4. Changes Expected • Ubiquitous & mobile computing • Web2.0 effects • Industry effects • Growth in breadth of applications • All EPSRC disciplines • Increase in uptake • International collaboration

  5. Leading to Integration • All scales of research • Individual to global team • All scales of computation • Computational mites to HECToR • All scales of data • Earth observation to a datum from field observation • All time scales • Decades of observation to quick experiment • Public and private science

  6. Winning strategies • Being more adept at • Finding information and partners • Assembling and supporting a research team • Assimilating ideas and methods • Adapting and integrating methods for the research goal • Delivering supporting evidence for publication or patent faster • Depends on • Networks, Education & UK critical mass

  7. Action needed • Encourage interdisciplinary research • Invest in Research in e-Science • Methods • Technology that enables methods • Systematic & transferable • Support EPSRC researchers • To adopt e-Science methods • With economic and suitable e-Infrastructure

  8. Interdisciplinarity • How do we support it? • How do we encourage it? • How do we recognise it?

  9. E-Science Innovation • How do we stimulate the invention of new methods? • How do we demonstrate their value? • How do we create the technology that enables them?

  10. Support for e-Science • What support is needed? • How do we support researchers adopting new methods? • How do we support e-Infrastructure? • How do we persuade others to collaborate towards the e-Infrastructure the UK researchers need?

  11. Evidence of Value • How do we measure the value of e-Science?

  12. Endangered Species? • Do computing science researchers need protection?

  13. Resources • Where can we find resources? • How much can we find through alliances? • What proportion should we allocate to each goal?
