A Collection of Scientific Facts

Provenance in collection-oriented scientific workflows

We describe a provenance model tailored to scientific workflows based on the CollectionOriented Modeling and Design paradigm. Our implementation within the Kepler scientific workflow system captures the dependencies of data and collection creation events on preexisting data and collections, and embeds these provenance records within the data stream. A provenance query engine operates on self-co...

Parallel/High-Performance Object-Oriented Scientific Computing Today

Scientific programming has reached an unprecedented degree of complexity. Sopisticated algorithms, a wide range of hardware environments, and an increasing demand for system integration, portability, and fault tolerance have shown that language-level abstraction must increase; at the same time performance must not be compromised. Work presented at previous POOSC workshops has shown that the OO ...

Faculty development: Yesterday, today and tomorrow

Faculty development, or staff development as it is often called, has become an increasingly important component of medical education, and most medical schools now offer formal faculty development programmes and activities. As McLean and colleagues have stated in their recent AMEE Guide “with demands on medical faculties to be socially responsible and accountable, there is increasing pressure fo...

With demands on medical faculties to be socially responsible and accountable, there is now increasing pressure for the professionalisation of teaching practice. Developing a cadre of professional and competent teachers, educators, researchers and leaders for their new roles and responsibilities in medical education requires ...
