                Abstracts: The Executable Paper Grand Challenge</strong><br>
              <strong>Organized by the Journal of Computational Science,
                Elsevier, and the International Conference on
                Computational Science (ICCS)</strong>.</p>
            <p class="Content"><strong>The Challenge: How can data
                intensive research be made repeatable and workable
                within the context of a scholarly journal article? </strong></p>
            <p class="Content">Data sets, code, and software are but
              some of the crucial elements in data intensive research;
              yet, these elements are noticeably absent when the
              research is recorded and preserved in perpetuity by way of
              a scholarly journal article. Further, most researchers do
              not deposit data related to their research article; and if
              they do so, it is often deposited on their personal or
              institutional websites, lacking consistency, reliable
              dissemination, discoverability, proper association (to the
              research article), documentation, validation, and
              preservation. To address all these concerns and to
              accommodate the every increasing body of data intensive
              science, considerable adaptations to the existing journal
              article are fundamental to accommodating the need to
              disseminate, validate, and archive research data, as well
              as a method to allow this data, in some way or form, to be
              validated, citable, tractable, and executable. To achieve
              this adaptation to scholarly publication, several issues
              must be addressed; the most vital being:</p>
            <ul>
              <li class="Content"><strong>Executability</strong> - How
                to make equations, tables and graphs interactive in such
                a way that reviewers and readers can check, manipulate
                and explore the result space? How to make the components
                of the experiment that generates these elements
                available to the reader so the experiment can be
                repeated and manipulated?</li>
              <li class="Content"><strong> Short and long-term
                  compatibility</strong> - How can we develop a model
                for executable files that is compatible with the user's
                operating system and architecture and adaptable to
                future systems?</li>
              <li class="Content"><strong>Validation</strong> - How do
                we validate data and code, and decrease the reviewer's
                workload? How can validation of this information be made
                easy for the reviewer?</li>
              <li class="Content"><strong>Copyright/licensing</strong> -
                Data of this nature should always be freely available to
                researchers: how can this principle be encouraged, while
                maintaining author's patent and intellectual property
                protection?</li>
              <li class="Content"><strong>Systems</strong> - How do we
                convey work done on large-scale computers, which are
                possibly only available to a small portion of the
                author/reader community? </li>
              <li class="Content"><strong>Size</strong> - How do we
                manage very large file sizes?</li>
              <li class="Content"><strong>Provenance</strong> - How to
                support registering and tracking of actions taken on the
                'executable paper?'</li>
              <li><span class="Content"><strong>Other issues</strong> -
                  How do we tackle risks and liabilities, including
                  viruses and code contamination, plagiarism, or other
                  problems? </span></li>
            </ul>
            <p class="Content">The Challenge is open to all
              professionals, instructors, students or enthusiasts in the
              field of computer science, who are invited to put forth
              ideas pertaining to these pressing and unsolved issues.
