Computer Science as a Cornerstone in e-Science and other e-Disciplines
Jon Patrick
Chair of Language Technology
School of Information Technologies
University of Sydney
E-Science is conceived of as a revolution in the way we conduct Science
by exploiting the use of ICT to connect scientists to share knowledge.
However the role and experience of the computer science discipline has
not been identified as a contributor to setting up an e-science
infrastructure and hence it has deficits so significant that it will be
at best be a success only for the most aggressive and ICT literate
scientists and leave most of science on the sidelines.
Computer Science brings to the task of creating an e-Science revolution
two important knowledge bases: software engineering and machine
learning. The first is needed to build the e-science environment so that
it runs efficiently and satisfies all-comers. The second is needed so
that scientists can explore their data with a rich world of tools,
freely available. A model for the operations of e-Science built around
the expertises of computer scientists is discussed.
