Carole Goble, professor in the School of Computer Science at the University of Manchester, will present the Spring 2010 Windsor Lecture at Illinois' Graduate School of Library and Information Science (GSLIS) at 4:00 p.m. on May 3, 2010. A reception will be held in the GSLIS east foyer immediately after the lecture. Goble’s lecture, “2010: An e-Science Odyssey, an epic drama of adventure and exploration,” will trace the evolution of e-Science (or Cyberinfrastructure) and explore timely questions such as: • Did semantic e-Science work out? • What are the prospects for open notebook science? • What will it take for scientists to really share data and really add metadata? • How will Web 2.0 affect the capture, curation/reviewing, and analysis of data and of publications? • What do these developments mean for information specialists? In discussing changes in the scientific method, Goble will draw on her personal experience with multiple e-Science projects to take stock. Professor Goble has a mission—leading in the Semantic Web, e-Science, and the Semantic Grid. She applies technical advances in knowledge technologies and workflow systems to solve information management problems for life scientists and other scientific disciplines. Her work makes heavy use of semantic technologies, distributed computing, and social computing. Her software has been adopted by astronomers, chemists, musicians, and digital libraries working on data preservation pipelines. She is the director of the myGrid e-Science consortium, which focuses on automated workflow-based scientific pipelines and e-laboratories for research and researchers. Goble has over 130 publications in semantics and e-Science, giving keynotes in the major conferences in Grid Computing, Web, Semantics, Digital Libraries and Bioinformatics. In 2008 she was awarded the inaugural Microsoft Jim Gray award for outstanding contributions to e-Science. DATE: Monday, May 3, 2010 TIME: Lecture begins at 4:00 p.m. A reception will follow the lecture.
