On October 6, 2008, IBM will be sponsoring a free one-day workshop in Washington, DC on high performance computing for humanities and social science research.
This workshop is aimed at digital humanities scholars, computer scientists working on humanities applications, library information professionals, and others who are involved in humanities and social science research using large digital datasets. The session will be hosted by IBM computer scientists who will conduct a hands-on session describing how high performance computing systems like IBM’s World Community Grid can be used for humanities research.
The workshop is intended to be much more than just a high-level introduction. There will be numerous technical demonstrations and opportunities for participants to discuss potential HPC projects. Topics will include: how to parallelize your code; useful tools and utilities; data storage and access; and a technical overview of the World Community Grid architecture.
Brett Bobley and Peter Losin from the Office of Digital Humanities at the National Endowment for the Humanities have been invited to discuss some of the NEH’s grant opportunities for humanities projects involving high performance computing.
If attendees are already involved in projects that involve heavy computation, they are encouraged to bring sample code, data, and outputs so that they can speak with IBM scientists about potential next steps for taking advantage of high performance computing. While the demonstrations will be using the World Community Grid, our hope is that attendees will learn valuable information that could also be applied to other HPC platforms.
The workshop will be held from 10 AM – 3 PM on October 6, 2008 at the IBM Institute for Electronic Government at 1301 K Street, NW, Washington, DC. To register, please contact Sherry Swick,
sherry@us.ibm.com. Available spaces will be filled on a first-come, first served basis.
More about the World Community Grid
World Community Grid, a philanthropic initiative developed by the IBM Corporation, offers researchers a unique opportunity to accelerate the pace of their work while also mobilizing people worldwide around critical social issues.
Launched by IBM in November 2004, World Community Grid uses grid technology to harness the plentiful, underutilized resource of PCs and laptops to support humanitarian research. Today, volunteers around the globe have donated the computational power of close to 1 million PCs; World Community Grid is harnessing their power when the computers are on but not in use to help advance promising research. Results on critical health issues have already been achieved, demonstrating World Community Grid’s potential to make significant inroads on a great range of future projects that can benefit the world.
World Community Grid is available free-of-charge only to public and not-for-profit organizations to use in humanitarian research that might otherwise not be completed due to the high cost of the computer infrastructure required in the absence of a public grid. As part of IBM’s commitment to advancing human welfare, all results must be published in the public domain and made public to the global research community. Current research partners include The Scripps Research Institute, The University of Texas Medical Branch, New York University, University of Washingon, French Muscular Dystrophy Association, the University of Cape Town and The Ontario Cancer Institute.

We’re looking for a creative, technically sophisticated individual
who will use computer methods and structured data to augment the
resarch process for humanities scholars. We’re not an acronym-based
technical services shop; we are part of the university research

Friends,
We have now launched our fourth competition for the ACLS Digital Innovation Fellowship Program.
These fellowships are intended to support an academic year dedicated to work on a major scholarly project which is in the humanities or humanistic social sciences and which best exemplifies the integration of such research with the use of computing, networking, or other information technology-based tools. The online application for the fellowship program is located at http://ofa.acls.org; applications must be completed by October 2, 2008 (decisions to be announced in late March 2009).
Thanks to the generous support of The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, up to six Digital Innovation Fellowships will be awarded in this competition year, for tenure beginning in 2009-2010. As this program aims to provide the means for pursuing digitally-based scholarly projects, the fellowship include a stipend of up to $60,000 to allow an academic year’s leave from teaching, as well as project funds of up to $25,000 for purposes such as access to tools and personnel for digital production, collaborative work with other scholars and with humanities or computing research centers, and the dissemination and preservation of projects.
The ACLS criteria for judging applications include the project’s intellectual ambitions and technological underpinnings, likely contribution as a digital scholarly work to research in the humanities and related fields, satisfacton of technical requirements for a successful research project, degree and significance of preliminary work; potential for promoting teamwork and collaboration (where appropriate), and articulation with local infrastructure at the applicant’s home institution.
Applicants must be citizens or permanent residents of the United States as of the application deadline date and must hold a Ph.D. degree conferred prior to the application deadline. However, established scholars who can demonstrate the equivalent of the Ph.D. in publications and professional experience may also qualify.
Please distribute this notice widely!
All best wishes,
Saul Fisher

Repository Software Developer
The Centre for e-Research at King’s College London is developing a research infrastructure to support research processes across the College. A core component of this infrastructure will be a digital repository, with associated services supporting the preservation, discovery, delivery and re-use of digital content. The repository is being implemented using the Fedora software (see http://www.fedora-commons.org/), which provides a flexible repository framework rather than an off-the-shelf system, so significant design and development work will be required to implement the required services.

The United States National Science Foundation (NSF) announced on July 29, 2008, that it is now accepting applications for its Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP). The purpose of this program is to ensure the vitality of the scientific and technological workforce in the United States and to reinforce its diversity. The program recognizes and supports outstanding graduate students in the relevant science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines who are pursuing research-based master’s and doctoral degrees.
GRFPs are intended for individuals in the early stages of their graduate study. All applicants are expected to have adequate preparation to begin graduate level study and research by Summer or Fall of 2009. In most cases, this will be demonstrated by a bachelor’s degree earned prior to Fall 2009. Applicants may pursue graduate study at an institution in the United States or affiliate with a foreign institution that grants a graduate degree. Prospective Fellows are responsible for all logistical arrangements required for affiliation with the foreign institution including living arrangements and securing any necessary passports or visas.
NSF expects to award 900-1,600 Graduate Research Fellowships under this program solicitation pending availability of funds. All awards will be for a maximum of three years usable over a 5-year period. The anticipated award date is late March 2009.
To learn more about NSF’s fellowships, including eligibility and how to register, please visit our website, www.oup.org, and select the “NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program” article from our “What’s New” section.
