Co- design is an emerging area in the field of informatics and this thesis is a contribution to the important research that is being performed within ...

Back in June I included a video of a Microsoft Research project called TouchLight in the keynote I gave at Eunis 2006 on how computation will affect the sciences and scientists. Afterwards I had several interesting conversations about how . It seems this is now likely that TouchLight will be brought to market this year by Eon ...

In the summer of 2005, an international expert group was brought together for a workshop to define and produce a new vision and roadmap of the evolution, challenges and potential of computer science and computing in scientific research in the next fifteen years. The resulting document, Towards 2020 Science, sets out the challenges and ...
