Abstract—Capturing provenance about artifacts produced by distributed scientific processes is a challenging task. For example, one approach to facilitate the execution of a scientific process in distributed environments is to break down the process into components and to create workflow

. This compiler has been used for developing a large number of applications in the areas of image, signal and scientific processing.

written, economists were just beginning to get into analysis of the key processes and institutions involved in technological advance. A lot has been learned since that time, and the discussion has become much more sophisticated. I will highlight two of those intellectual developments: the growing

enough to measure whether or not the students have some scientific process skills. The Scientific Process Skill Test (SPST) was given to 209 students who had been placed in science and mathematics teaching programs after the 2003 SSE. The SSE weighted Standard points of the students and their SPST

Abstract. Digital preservation research has seen an increased focus is on objects that are non-deterministic but depend on external events like user input or data from external sources. Among those is the preserva-tion of scientific processes, aiming at reuse of research outputs. Ensuring

We introduce and describe scientific workflows, i.e., executable descriptions of automatable scientific processes such as computational science simulations and data analyses. Scientific workflows are often expressed in terms of tasks and their (dataflow) dependencies. This chapter first provides

The Sketchpad system uses drawing as a novel communication medium for a computer. The system contains input, output, and computation programs which enable it to interpret information drawn directly on a computer display. It has been used to draw electrical, mechanical, scientific, mathematical

State-of-the-art and emerging scientific applications require fast access to large quantities of data and commensurately fast computational resources. Both resources and data are often distributed in a wide-area network with components administered locally and independently. Computations may

Clustering data by identifying a subset of representative examples is important for processing sensory signals and detecting patterns in data. Such “exemplars ” can be found by randomly choosing an initial subset of data points and then iteratively refining it, but this works well only

of the interaction of genetics and environment in family processes; transitions and linkages between the family and other major settings influencing development, such as hospitals, day care, peer groups, school, social networks, the world of work (both for parents and children), and neighborhoods and communities
