<p class="Content"><strong class="Headline">Call for
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.
The First Place winner will receive $10,000 USD and and
Apple iPAD with Wi-Fi and 3G : second and third place
winners will receive $5,000 and $2,500 USD, as well as an
Apple iPad with Wi-Fi and 3G respectively.</p>
