  1. Computing in the Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences Marshall Scott Poole Director Kevin Franklin Executive Director

  2. Mission The Institute for Computing in Humanities, Arts, and Social Science (I-CHASS) at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign charts new ground in computing and the humanities, arts, and social sciences by creating spaces for digital discovery and learning environments. I-CHASS presents path-breaking research, computational resources, collaborative tools, and educational programming to showcase the future of the humanities, arts, and social sciences.

  3. In Pursuit of This Mission I-CHASS: • Bridges the worlds of the scholar and the technologist • Fosters the interdisciplinary and international collaborations • Provides resources for computing, data management, analysis of data, text, and images, simulation, geospatial inquiry, technology integration, and other critical functions, always exploring emerging technologies and new paths to knowledge

  4. In Pursuit of Its MissionI-CHASS: • Creates learning environments and spaces for digital discovery • Fosters engaged research that is applied to real world problems • Works to shape the future directions of computing for the humanities, arts, and social sciences I-CHASS is a network organization that serves as broker among scientists, funders, policy-makers, and organizations, both nationally and internationally

  5. Sources of Support • University of Illinois Provost • National Center for Supercomputing Applications • External Grants • National Science Foundation • National Endowment for the Humanities

  6. OAS-ARTCA • Co-founded in 2008 by I-CHASS, the Costa Rica Center for High Technology (CeNAT) and the Costa Rica – United States Foundation (CRUSA). • CRUSA provided original funding • In 2010, the OAS signed an agreement with CRUSA, which transferred all the administration rights of ARTCA and its operation funds to the OAS: OAS-ARTCA • General Cooperation Agreement Between ARTCA and RedCLARA (Spanish for Latin American Cooperation of Advanced Networks) in Costa Rica. • Cooperation Agreement Between University of Illinois and OAS.

  7. OAS-ARTCA • Research and development activities address common/hemispheric problems that arise in the natural sciences, medicine, technology, and the human sciences (humanities, arts and social sciences). • Works closely with NSF, NIH, NEH, ministries of science and technology, and Latin American national science and technology funding agencies (CONICITs)

  8. PASI: Methods in Computational Discovery for Multidimensional Problem Solving • Workshop for young scholars on Computation Based Discovery for Multidimensional Problem Solving • Funded by U.S. National Science Foundation Office of International Studies and Education (NSF-OISE) • Organizers/Resources: • Extreme Science and Engineering Discovery Environment (XSEDE) • National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) • I-CHASS • Advanced Vizualization Lab (UIUC) • OAS-ARTCA Office of Science, Technology, and Innovation • RedClara

  9. PASI: Methods in Computational Discovery for Multidimensional Problem Solving • Date: July 2013 • Duration: Ten Days • Location: Universidad del Valle de Guatemala • 35 Scholars • ExemplaryTopics: • Foundations of Data Science • Vizualizing Data for Discovery • Simulation • Complex Data Analysis • Text Analysis of Very Large Datasets • Innovative Approaches to Big Data • Nominations: Contact OAS-ARTCA

  10. OAS-ARTCA Executive Immersion Program • Executive Immersion Program is a result of the Plan of Action of Panama. • Tailored for high ranking officers form Ministries and National Councils of Science and Technology. • It show showcases the most current research and education in Innovation, human resource and technology development and supercomputing • High ranking officials will be hosted for 3 days to 1 week by 5 campuses starting in January 2012,Uof Illinois, Cornell, U of Washington, U of California, Clemson. The host University will cover housing and meals; the participant’s agency must cover airfare.

  11. Radical Innovation Summit • Workshop to explore how to create and sustain learning environments that promote the development of innovative thinking skills, behaviors, and dispositions • Innovative thinkers from academia, industry, government • Goals: • Identify and articulate strategies for implementing innovative education into pre-K – college curricula • Develop network of thought leaders and change agents • Promote design thinking in kindergarten through high school curricula • Time: July, 2013 • Place: NCSA Access Center • Funded by: National Science Foundation, Directorate for Education and Human Resources

  12. Scalable Reseach Challenge • Access to High Performance Computing Resources • Over thirty applicants • Projects: • Climate science • Digital humanities • Cognitive psychology • Biological sciences

  13. Other Possible Initiatives • Science Journalism • Engineering Education • Market Maker • Emerging Media • Resource Management and Sustainability • Digital Humanities • eSocial Science
