Workshop: Engineering Research Communication 2020 - Data and Software Curation and the Relationship to Reproducible Research. November 5,6, 2016, Washington D.C.

本次研讨会将为出版专业人士和各个利益相关者社区的成员提供一个建设性对话的论坛，这些社区对公共传播工程和信息科学方面的学术研究有着共同的兴趣，以各种 IEEE 协会为代表，包括信号处理、控制系统、机器人和自动化、信息理论以及电路和系统。参与者将探讨三个相互关联且日益重要的问题，这些问题涉及未来从工程研究产品中获得最大可能利益的方法：1。学术工程研究的基本成果是什么？这些成果在未来可能会发生怎样的变化？2．向公众提供工程研究产品的经济上可持续的方法是什么？3．随着非传统类型的研究产品（例如数据和软件）成为策划的工程研究记录的重要组成部分，质量保证应该如何组织和支付？确保未来工程研究最大程度地可重复的目标是所有这些问题的基础。出版专业人士的研讨会演讲将探讨工程和其他学科中当前和计划的数据和软件管理方法。目前为此类管理提供平台的数据专业人士以及从事基础数据科学、数据基础设施和网络基础设施研究的数据专业人士也将进行演讲。将探索使用新的管理和发布技术最有效地从策划的研究产品中获取价值，以符合美国国家科学基金会既定的目标，即在数据基础设施和分析、可重复性、隐私和保护以及人类数据界面研究方面取得新进展。研讨会涵盖的主题包括：-数据管理-道德数据管理-软件管理-档案文献的版本控制-研究再现性-包括再现性指标-同行评审-数据、软件、版本-如何管理-学术出版商、研究人员和研究图书馆之间不断发展的关系。参与者将包括研究人员、选定出版商的代表、数据管理专业人员、工程研究人员以及来自美国国家科学基金会和其他美国政府研究机构的公众访问代表。研讨会的初步日期和地点为2016年11月5日、6日在华盛顿特区。

This workshop will provide a forum for constructive dialogue between publishing professionals and members of various stakeholder communities with a shared interest in public dissemination of scholarly research in engineering and the information sciences, as represented by a variety of IEEE societies including, Signal Processing, Control Systems, Robotics and Automation, Information Theory, and Circuits and Systems. Participants will explore three interrelated and increasingly important questions concerning future approaches to deriving the maximum possible benefit from the products of engineering research:1. What are the essential products of scholarly engineering research, how will these be likely to change in the future?2. What are economically sustainable approaches to providing public access to engineering research products?3. As nontraditional types of research products (e.g. data and software) become a significant component of the curated engineering research record, how should quality assurance be organized and paid for?The goal of ensuring that future engineering research will be maximally reproducible underlies all these questions. Workshop presentations by publishing professionals will explore current and planned approaches to data and software curation in engineering and other disciplines. There will also be presentations by data professionals who currently provide platforms for such curation as well as those engaged in research on fundamental data science, data infrastructure, and cyber-infrastructure. Using new curation and publishing technologies to most effectively harvest value from curated research products will be explored in alignment with stated National Science Foundation objectives of developing new advances in data infrastructure and analytics, reproducibility, privacy and protection, and research in the human-data interface. The topics to be covered by the workshop include,- Data curation -ethical data management- Software curation- Versioning of archival literature- Research reproducibility -including reproducibility metrics- Peer review -data, software, versions - how to manage- The evolving relationship between scholarly publishers, researchers, and research libraries.The participants will include researchers, representatives of selected publishers, data curation professionals, engineering researchers, and public access representatives from the U.S. National Science Foundation and other U.S. Government research agencies. The preliminary date and venue of the workshop are November 5,6, 2016 in the Washington DC area.
