CERN openlab Whitepaper on Future IT Challenges in Scientific Research
Full text linkThis whitepaper describes the major IT challenges in scientific research at CERN and several other European and international research laboratories and projects. Each challenge is exemplified through a set of concrete use cases drawn from the requirements of large-scale scientific programs. The paper is based on contributions from many researchers and IT experts of the participating laboratories and also input from the existing CERN openlab industrial sponsors. The views expressed in this document are those of the individual contributors and do not necessarily reflect the view of their organisations and/or affiliates
Automated treatment of electronic resources in the Scientific Information Service at CERN
Full text linkWe describe the automatic method of importation of meta data, developed in the Scientific Information Service, SIS, at CERN. The program, called Uploader, allows importation into the CERN library databases of bibliographic records and full text documents harvested from several Internet sources. The database sources offer essentially grey literature in physics and related subjects (e.g. DOE, KEK, Math-Doc, TipTop, etc.). This acquisitions policy is dependent on the automatic treatment of electronic resources and raises questions concerning the growing number of documents collected and on the enlargement of the subjects treated. Our constant efforts to enrich this meta data and to facilitate access to it, via the hyperlink model, brings new professional aspects to libraries
Britain at CERN
No full textFrom 14 to 17 November 30 British companies will exhibit leading edge technologies at CERN*. This is Britain's 18th exhibition at CERN since 1968. Out of the 30 companies, which attended the Britain at CERN exhibition in 1998, 25 have received an order or a contract relating to CERN during the last two years
Britain at CERN
No full textOn 8 October, H.E. Mr David Beattie, British Ambassador to Switzerland, Mr John R. Nichols, H.M. Consul-General in Geneva and, Prof. Christopher Llewellyn Smith, CERN*'s Director General, formally opened the industrial exhibition of thirty-three British hi-tech companies at CERN, which takes place from 8 to 11 October, 1996. The exhibition offers British companies the opportunity to display their products in fields that are of immediate importance to the scientists, engineers and technicians working at CERN, and also to scientists from non-Member States who take part in research projects at CERN
From Fulltext Documents to Structured Citations: CERN's Automated Solution
Full text linkFor many years, CERN has been collecting all High Energy Physics documents to make them easy to access to physics researchers. A repository of up to 170,000 electronic documents is available via the CERN Document Server, the main gateway to CERN's digital library. On top of the creation of this digital archive, the computing support has been looking towards possible improvements in order to ease the task of searching through and reading the articles kept. In addition to the acquisition, cataloguing and indexing of standard metadata, specific treatments have been applied to the data itself.
In this paper, after a brief description of process applied to fulltext data, we shall focus on the specific work done within a collaboration between CERN, Geneva University and the University of Sunderland in order to successfully achieve the automated acquisition of structured citations from fulltext documents
Greece at CERN
No full textGreece, one of CERN*'s founding Member States, inaugurated its first Industrial Exhibition at the Meyrin site on Tuesday, 14 October. After a meeting with CERN's Director General, Professor Christopher Llewellyn Smith, Professor Emmanuel Frangoulis, the General Secretary of the Greek Ministry of Industry, accompanied by Prof Emmanuel Floratos, Greek delegate to CERN council visited the DELPHI experiment on the LEP collider, guided by Andromachi Tsirou, a Greek physicist
Le CERN prépare son avenir
No full textHubert Curien elected President of CERN Council. The CERN Council, where the representatives of the 17 Member States of the Organization decide on CERN's scientific programmes and financial resources, held its 97th Session on June 25 under the chairmanship of Sir William Mitchell (United Kingdom)
Poland at CERN
No full textOn 17 October 2000, the second Polish industrial and technological exhibition opens at CERN*. The first one was held five years ago and nine of the companies that were present then have come back again this year. Six of those companies were awarded contracts with CERN in 1995. Three Polish officials were present at the Opening Ceremony today: Mrs Malgorzata Kozlowska, Under-secretary of State in the State Committee for Scientific Research, Mr Henryk Ogryczak, Under-secretary of State in Ministry of Economy and Prof. Jerzy Niewodniczanski, President of National Atomic Energy Agency
9th CERN School of Physics
No full textThe 1970 CERN School of Physics differed from the earlier Schools in that it was organized in collaboration with the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR), Dubna, USSR. In addition, it replaced this year the Liperi School of Physics normally arranged each summer by the Research Institute for Theoretical Physics, Helsinki
