The DFC uses the iRODS data grid middleware to implement the interoperability mechanisms needed to federate heterogeneous data repositories, information catalogs, and workflow systems. The DFC provides a collaboration environment that enables researchers to share their data products and workflows, while managing both publication and preservation of research results. A specific intent is support for reproducible data-driven research. The DFC is collaborating with the iRODS Consortium on the implementation of iRODS version 4.0. This provides a pluggable architecture for production environments, enabling the addition of new storage systems, micro-services, and authentication systems to a running system. The expectation is that data products developed in a research project will be first shared, then analyzed through processing pipelines, then published, and then preserved. At each stage, the resources used to manage the data may change, the policies used to control the environment will change, and the user community will broaden. Viable data cyberinfrastructure gracefully handles the evolution of a data collection. Presenter: Dr. Reagan W. Moore Director, Data Intensive Cyber-Environments Center Chief Scientist, Data Intensive Cyber-Environments at RENCI Professor, School of Information and Library Science University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill 22 Manning Hall Chapel Hill, NC 27599-3360 Telephone: 919 962 9548 Fax: 919 962 8071 Reagan Moore is the Director of the Data Intensive Cyber Environments Center at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, professor in the School of Information and Library Science, and Chief Scientist at the Renaissance Computing Institute. Moore coordinates research efforts in development of policy-based data management systems that are used to support data grids, digital libraries, processing pipelines and persistent archives. Moore is the co-principal investigator for the development of the integrated Rule Oriented Data System (iRODS). The iRODS technology automates the application of management policies, automates validation of assessment criteria, and minimizes the labor required to manage massive distributed data collections. The iRODS software is available as an open source distribution at http://irods.diceresearch.org. Moore has a B.S. in physics from the California Institute of Technology (1967), and a Ph.D. in plasma physics from the University of California, San Diego (1978). _______________________________________________ Sigdl-l mailing list Sigdl-l at asis.org http://mail.asis.org/mailman/listinfo/sigdl-l -- Moriana L.

The Research Forum and Poster Session provide an excellent opportunity to share a wide range of research endeavors and methodologies relevant to science and technology librarianship. The Committee adheres to mentoring principles and utilizes a ?blind? review process to select proposals. Submissions for the paper and poster presentations are selected based on the abstract and significant progress by June 2014. Writing style is critical and should be clear, concise, and organized. Abstracts should include some aspects of the research process. Some examples are: ? Hypothesis ? Problem or purpose ? research question or thesis ? stated in one sentence. ? Literature review in its simplest form ? where your project fits with scholarly community. ? Target group: people, animals, things etc. and relevant characteristics. ? Methodology with essential components ? Basic findings, including statistical limitations such as confidence intervals ? Conclusions, implications, or applications ? Contribute to the advancement of science and technology librarianship. ? Demonstrate innovative and original research. ? Contribute ideas for positioning librarians to be leaders both on and off campus. Abstracts. Abstracts should total no more than 250 words while addressing the aforementioned criteria. Abstracts should indicate presentation category: Featured, Short Paper, or Poster Session. Be sure to include your name, institution, phone, and e-mail address of all participants (not part of word count). Please indicate whether or not the project was submitted to other conferences, for publication in a journal, published or presented before. Featured Paper Presentations. Our Featured Paper Presentation will be 20 minutes in length and followed by a thoughtful 10 minute critique from a guest commentator, who offers suggestions on how to prepare the paper for publication. Proposals should reflect research that has been completed or initiatives that have already been implemented. At a minimum, significant progress should have been made toward completion or implementation. Short Paper Presentations. Short Papers are 10 minutes in length and may reflect research or initiatives that have been completed or are currently in progress. Short papers may also solicit feedback (5 minutes) on research ideas that are being formulated, outlining possible approaches and asking attendees and the guest commentator for their response. Poster Presentations. Submissions for the poster session are selected from two categories ? STS Theme and Open Session. The STS Theme for 2014 is "How can librarians assist with student diversity and retention in the STEM and health science fields at their institutions?" The Open category is for research endeavors or practitioner projects outside the Theme that enhance science and technology librarianship. Proposals should provide useful and practical findings, and opportunities for discussion. DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION OF ABSTRACTS: Galileo's 450th Birthday, Saturday, February 15, 2014. Submissions are selected by the STS Research Committee. Acceptance of proposals reflects a commitment by the author(s) to present at the ALA Annual Conference in Las Vegas. Abstracts should be submitted via e-mail to Jack Maness, jack.maness at colorado.edu, and Greg Nelson, greg_nelson at byu.edu, Co-Chairs of the STS Research Committee.
