Science in the cloud
Saturday, January 16 10:15 – 11:20am
C. Science in the cloud – John Hogenesch
Description: A series of parallel revolutions are occurring in science as data, analysis, ideas, and even scientific manuscript authoring are moving away from the desktop and into the cloud. In this session we will focus on science and the cloud starting with the rationale for cloud-based computation, its use cases, and how new efforts are bringing cloud approaches to the entire authorship and review process.
Discuss:
I’ve personally been involved with writing three peer-reviewed publications in the cloud on GoogleDocs and it’s a wonderful way to collaboratively work on a manuscript. There isn’t much missing in this environment that you need to collaboratively write a publication. Very nice… Antony Williams, ChemSpiderman
