RDSI is set to publish a range of articles that will highlight how researchers around Australia are benefiting from the new RDSI Node infrastructure. These articles will be told in a story format and will be released periodically as researchers continue to achieve their goals with the help of their Nodes.
Adapting to climate change: Terra Nova
There’s an important distinction between climate change and climate change adaptation. Research into climate change looks at questions of how the climate is changing and how this change will affect the environment. Climate change adaptation looks at how we can respond to these changes – how we can reduce the impacts of stresses on human and natural systems including our cities and regions, our agriculture and aquaculture, and the biodiversity of our environment, and how we can harness any beneficial opportunities. In other words, what should we do to prepare and adapt?…….

Teaming Agreement Supports Plans for R&D Centre, underlining NSW’s depth and calibre of ICT and Research
Intersect has selected Hitachi Data Systems to build the NSW node of Research Data Storage Infrastructure (RDSI). With an initial investment of around $2 million, the platform will support data intensive research and collaboration. The infrastructure cloud will connect 11 universities in NSW with other research institutions across Australia.
Intersect and Hitachi Data Systems have also signed an Australian-first Teaming Agreement to further serve the network’s members over the long term. The memorandum gives research bodies access to Hitachi’s R&D program as Intersect works towards a next generation R&D centre. The centre will enable research and innovation with ICT systems specifically designed for data driven research and collaboration.

This workshop is concerned with identifying and understanding the unique aspects of software development for Computational Science & Engineering (CSE) applications. Software development for the increasing important CSE domain has not received enough attention from the Software Engineering (SE) community. This workshop will be the next in a series of workshops that have been organized at various conferences throughout the world (see Resources tab of http://ap-secse13.cs.ua.edu).
Due to the importance of the Asia-Pacific region in the area of CSE software and the concentration of fast supercomputers, we are organizing the workshop in this region for the first time.
Deadline for full paper submission: August 11, 2013

RDSI welcomes former CAUDIT CEO, Richard Northam to the team as the new Node Development Manager. Although Richard only started in the month of July, he has already revealed his intentions for role.
“As the Node Development Manager I will be working closely with the various RDSI nodes to leverage, strengthen and develop their capabilities to enable them to hold and process large volumes of data; I will help foster collaboration between the nodes and establish a program to monitor and report on RDSI services delivered by the nodes”.
Richard went on to say “The RDSI project is important because data driven research will play a significant role into the future of this sector and will allow researchers to store and readily access the increasingly large data sets they need to further their research”.

Organised by Integrated Earth Data Applications (IEDA) and Elsevier Research Data Services, the International Data Rescue Award in the Geosciences is created to improve preservation and access of research data, particularly of dark data, and share the varied ways that these data are being processed, stored, and used.
The organisers are interested in receiving submissions from groups who have developed and completed projects that have digitized previously unavailable content or that have facilitated and improved the ingestion of research data. The award will consist of a Data Rescue trophy and a check for $US 5000.
The final submission deadline is October 10, 2013. For more information see http://researchdata.elsevier.com/datachallenge or contact Lesley Wyborn (Lesley.wyborn@ga.gov.au)
