About MacResearch By joel at Sun, Dec 18 2005 2:06pm Mission MacResearch.org is an open and independent community for scientists using Mac OS X and related hardware in their research. It is the mission of this site to cultivate a knowledgeable and vibrant community of researchers to exchange ideas and information, build a community knowledge-base, and collectively escalate the prominence of Apple technologies in the scientific research community.
Animate Projects explores the relationship between art and animation, and the place of animation and its concepts in contemporary art practice. We offer artists a unique space to create work, and develop initiatives that allow an international audience to
Protected UsefulChem Project This is an open source science project in chemistry led by the Bradley Laboratory at Drexel University. Since all laboratory experimental results are made public, we refer to this work as Open Notebook Science as well. Cli
...research already in progress is opened up to allow labs anywhere in the world to contribute experiments. The deeply networked nature of modern laboratories, and the brief down-time that all labs have between projects, make this concept quite feasible.
Research Papers from Globus Alliance Members The Globus Alliance has produced a broad collection of papers on the Grid, distributed computing, applied computer science, and related topics.
The Santa Fe Institute is devoted to creating a new kind of scientific research community, one emphasizing multi-disciplinary collaboration in pursuit of understanding the common themes that arise in natural, artificial, and social systems.

Cyberinfrastructure Technology Watch (CTWatch) is an online venue designed to engage the science and engineering research community in the news, ideas, and information surrounding the emergence of cyberinfrastructure as the essential foundation for advanc
Virtual research environments (VREs), as one hopes the name suggests, comprise digital infrastructure and services which enable research to take place. The idea of a VRE, which in this context includes cyberinfrastructure and e-infrastructure, arises from and remains intrinsically linked with, the development of e-science. The VRE helps to broaden the popular definition of e-science from grid-based distributed computing for scientists with huge amounts of data to the development of online tools, content, and middleware within a coherent framework for all disciplines and all types of research. This article highlights some of the issues relating to the development and deployment of VREs and introduces three VRE projects in which Oxford University is leading or playing a significant role.
