eScience refers to new science opportunities that require distributed collaborations and enabled by emerging internet technologies. These technologies include grid computing, distributed data management, and collaborative tools. Many tools are still in the process of rapid development, and in some cases standards are not yet established.

Data-intensive science and the marriage of science and IT is happening in astronomy, high-energy physics and genomics. The article provides successful examples of eScience and the challenges hindering the spread of eScience (e.g. lack of tools, database a

University of Washington Provost Ana Mari Cauce has allocated permanent funding to the eScience Institute to stimulate the hiring of faculty members who conduct cutting-edge research on methodologies for data-driven discovery, and whose teaching and outreach will put advanced tools and techniques into the hands of UW's broad base of outstanding researchers.

Education for eScience Professionals: Integrating Data Curation and Cyberinfrastructure Youngseek Kim

a variety of digital scholarship issues addressed, including reproducibility of escience (data + methods)

Are you a researcher, asking yourself "What is the difference between grid computing, supercomputing, cloud computing, volunteer computing and everything else? How do I know what is the right tool to use for my work?" If so, then attend the upcoming online discussion hosted by iSGTW - the weekly online computing magazine sponsored by Open Science Grid and the European Grid Initiative - called "Roundtable Q&A: Choose and use the right computing tool for your research, with feedback from the experts."

iSGTW is an international, weekly, on-line science-computing newsletter that shows the importance of distributed computing, cloud computing and supercomputing. It does so by reporting about the people and projects involved in these fields, and how these types of computing technologies are being applied to make scientific advances.

The Open Archives Initiative develops and promotes interoperability standards that aim to facilitate the efficient dissemination of content. OAI has its roots in the open access and institutional repository movements. Continued support of this work remains a cornerstone of the Open Archives program. Over time, however, the work of OAI has expanded to promote broad access to digital resources for eScholarship, eLearning, and eScience.

GnuBio is a new Harvard University spinout that is poised to become an "eBay of Biomarkers,"

Excerpt: "will involve the use of an ecosystem of interacting web-based resources, including the infrastructure provided by the Virtual Observatory, data provisioning services from Astronomy archives, a variety of analysis services such as Astrometry.net, notification services such as skyalert.org, and visualization services such as CDS's Aladin and Microsoft's WorldWideTelescope."

A collection of accepted papers, some contributed slidedecks, and supplementary documents presented at IATUL 2010 are available at http://docs.lib.purdue.edu/iatul2010/.

e-Science is about global collaboration in key areas of science, and the next generation of computational infrastructure that will enable it. These two volumes contain selected papers from the UK e-Science All Hands Meeting, which was held in Oxford, UK, in December 2009. This meeting has become the annual event where computational scientists and technologists come together to share, discuss and advance the exciting research that has grown out of the UK e-Science Programme.
