  1. Virtual Research Environments: Into the Future Dr Liz Lyon Director, UKOLN, University of Bath, UK JISC Conference, Birmingham, April 2008 UKOLN is supported by: This work is licensed under a Creative Commons LicenceAttribution-ShareAlike 2.0

  2. Four themes • Citizen science • Collective intelligence • Predictive data-centric science • Mixed reality environments (Multi-disciplinary and cross-sectoral activity is assumed……)

  3. Collaboration: with other scientists and the public…..

  4. Citizen science • Collaborative activity not just with peers • Interaction with the public • Citizen science • Crowd-sourcing? Capacity-building? • We need dedicated interfaces to exploit this under-used workforce

  5. Collective intelligence • Today: aggregations, comments, tags, annotations, ratings, reviews, opinions… • Tomorrow: “collective intelligence” to analyse, assess, mine, extract, evaluate…. • We need tools to leverage this resource

  6. “National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) announces 5 new Centers of Excellence focussing on the emerging field of Predictive Science.” US DoE $17million grant to each Center Simulations of hypersonic flight, supernovae…. 7th March, 2008

  7. Predictive science • Content is infrastructure e.g. Protein Data Bank • Today: primary data, images, text • Tomorrow: digests, simulations, models • Today: discovery to delivery • Tomorrow: mine & model, simulate & synthesise • Today: statistics • Tomorrow: Predictive science We need verification & validation methodologies….

  8. “London Polyclinic” Imperial College / Nat Phys Lab

  9. Mixed reality environments • Opportunities for participative exploration • Rich test-bed for experimentation • Mimic, innovate and extend • Immerse and experience • Ubiquitous? Pervasive? Persistent? • We need to achieve seamless transition, integration, linking between worlds…..
