We will have the next PASIG webinar on March 14 at 8:30am PT. Chris Wood has consistently been one of the most popular and thought-provoking speakers at PASIG events. His insights on current infrastructure technologies and future trends have been very helpful to PASIG members over the years. This webinar will provide listeners with an opportunity to dive deeper on the subject of the Cloud than is normally possible during the conferences. The webinar is free for ASIS&T members and $20 for non-ASIS&T members. To register, go to: http://www.asis.org/Conferences/webinars/Webinar-Wood-3-14-2013-register.htm l ------------------------ Title: The Cloud - A Better Alternative for Long-term Preservation or Too Good to Be True? Tired of receiving another End Of Life notice from your vendor? Performing disk migrations every five years? Managing persnickety software interoperability from multiple vendors? Being monkey in the middle diagnosing multi-vendor problems? Spending all your time and money on sustaining your infrastructure vs. innovating? Go to the Cloud! Today?s latest and greatest panacea for IT indigestion. Pack up your data and your troubles and ship it out to someplace else. Sign me up! I think? I wonder if they have a 100 year contract? When they migrate my data, will my indexing application still find it? Do they really protect it? Will they support older OS versions for me? For how long? Will they sort out multi-vendor problems? Mr. Wood will discuss the current infrastructure technology and procedures required for long term preservation and then compare and contrast them with the typical business model employed by most cloud providers. Are we headed to the altar or divorce court? Tune in and find out.? Mr. Leighton C. ?Chris? Wood Jr. Mr. Wood, Director of Product Management at Oracle is responsible for product management of the Pillar Axiom family of storage systems as well as managing future development requirements for the next generation Axiom.

The Journal is intended for a wide variety of readers including academicians, developers, educators, engineers, practitioners, researchers, and graduate students. Description of the field ======================== Big Data Analytics is no longer a specialized solution for cutting-edge technology companies; it refers to a cost-effective way to store and analyze large volume of data across many industries. The applications of Big Data include health care and life sciences; supply chain, logistics, and manufacturing; online services and Web analytics; financial services; energy and utilities; media and telecommunications; and retail and consumer products. Big Data can be defined via three Vs: volume, velocity, and variety. Volume refers to the raw scale of records, transactions, tables, and files; velocity includes batch processing, near time, real-time, and streaming; while variety includes structured, unstructured, and semi-structured data. The Journal will focus on articles discussing Big Data challenges including data capture and storage; search, sharing, and analytics; Big Data technologies; and data visualization. A special focus will be given to Big Data technologies including architectures for massively parallel processing, data mining tools and techniques, machine learning algorithms for Big Data, distributed file systems and databases, cloud computing platforms, and scalable storage systems. List of topics ============== * Big Data technologies * Data capture and storage * Extracting knowledge from large datasets * Architectures for massively parallel data processing * Data mining tools and techniques * Scalable storage systems? Hadoop and HPCC (High Performance Computing Cluster) * Machine learning algorithms for Big Data * Cloud computing platforms for Big Data analytics * Network architectures for Big Data applications * Distributed file systems and databases * Data protection and privacy * Social networks and Big Data * Visualization of Big Data * Applications of Big Data to - Scientific Applications - Bioinformatics - Health Care - Life sciences - Supply Chain - Online Services - Web analytics - Financial Services - Large Science discoveries - Climate Change - Environment - Energy and utilities - Media and telecommunications - Retail and consumer products - Commercial applications Anticipated content =================== Our intent is to have various types of articles including research papers, survey and review papers, and application papers. We will also encourage and organize special issues on specific topics relating to Big Data.

We are seeking to establish a "standard" deposit agreement to be executed with Rutgers (i.e., internal) researchers who are working with us to deposit data in our RUcore institutional repository. So far, during the initial development of the repository, the process has been quite informal - we've been happy to have faculty be interested in working with us! Now as we are approaching more of a formal service model, the question has come up about verifying our legal/copyright rights to deposit and share the research data from faculty. At the request of our copyright librarian, I am attempting to collect a sample of the agreements that others have developed, to get a sense of the level of detail requested by others blazing this path. We are trying to determine how much we should rely on the researcher to affirm that "all is legitimate" or whether we ought to be doing our own investigation or validation of the ownership claims for the data. While we are initially concerned about Rutgers faculty, the issue of grant-funded projects encompassing researchers from other institutions will be an issue as well. (Note that we're not considering privacy/IRB issues with this question.) If you have an agreement that you are comfortable with, I'd appreciate being able to take a look, whether in a document or a web page. Please feel free to respond to me directly - if there's interest, I could collect and report back either on the list or at the RDAP meeting.

This is a pre-ELAG workshop. In the same week that the Research Data Alliance Plenary identified that skill-sets for research data management are in short supply, it seems timely to announce a workshop to explore where the library and research institution sit in relation to supporting research data management, and what future expectations for libraries might be. The library and research institution are having to understand their role within this changing environment, and define the necessary support mechanisms. OpenAIRE supports a range of stakeholders, namely librarians and researchers in depositing, searching as well as linking research output. LIBER supports libraries in making the transformation and acquiring an active role in evolving areas such as research data management and scientific information infrastructures. Expert speakers will cover issues such as the data life-cycle, data citation, data publication, tools, and how research institutions can support their researchers in data management. In addition, a number of scientists will present their views on how they use, share, and link research data within different domains. The day will close with a panel session, supported by members of the LIBER Steering Committee ?Scholarly Communication and Research Infrastructure? which will explore future skill-sets for librarians.
