  2. The ad hoc eScience Committee tasks have been to: Conduct three workshops (Busan, Honolulu, and Cairns). Provide the APAN Secretariat with specific recommendation on actions that would promote the expansion of eScience. Recommendations developed at January 2004 Honolulu meeting. The ad hoc Committee tasks have been completed.

  3. Ad Hoc eScience Committee Recommendations(From January 2004 Honolulu Meeting) • Establish eScience page at apan.net with a broad definition of eScience and a list of activities that fall under eScience, the vision of APAN’s role, and a summary of APAN activities in developing / promoting eResearch. • Establish an eScience demonstration project. • Assemble open source eScience toolkit. • Communicate with AP organization who would have a use for eScience technologies. Invite their participation. • Communicate with organization who may provide support for AP eScience development. Develop proposal(s) for regional projects. • Continue workshops to enlarge participation in APAN. Thematic workshops could be developed to explore topics of interest across discipline lines (e.g. workshops on imagery or modeling). Could be joint workshops with PRAGMA. • Initiate entry level pre-meeting workshops: in the morning - network & eScience briefings for researchers, in the afternoon - research briefings to network technologists. Focus on local attendees to maximize attendance.

  4. At Cairns APAN Conference- Three eSomethings • eScience Workshop (July 6) and two committee meetings (July 3 and 6). • eCulture Board of Forum met July 5 and agreed to form Working Group. • eHealth Workshop July 6.

  5. In the July 6, 2004 eScience Committee meeting there was broad agreement that we should establish an eScience Working Group • We need to submit a charter. First draft circulated • on July 7, 2004. • There should be some discussion on where such • a group should be placed within APAN. • WG Chair (or co-chairs) would need to be selected • (January 2005 in BKK).

  6. Proposals for Bangkok 2005 • Facility Instruments – 90 minute Workshop • (Simon, AR, Chris, and others) • Collaboratories – 90 minute Workshop • Modeling, simulation, interactive steering • (Simon, Jane Hunter, and others). • Digital archives & metadata standards • – 90 minute workshop • (AR, Byong-Lyol Lee, Balaji, and others) • Committee Meeting – selection of chair • – or co-chairs.
