Theme: 21st Century Research — Where Computing Meets Data
The voyage of 21st Century discovery is enabled by new technologies, new research methods, and above all new collaborations. At the nexus where computing meets data, researchers are using advanced visualisation, simulation and modelling to create and explore new knowledge terrains.
Making this happen requires a large number of people working together — on making it possible to re-use data, on supporting collaboration, on developing standards, policies and practices, on networks, on access and security, on pushing the boundaries of computing power, and on tools to make sense of all the information.
Researchers, practitioners, leaders and communicators in Science, Engineering, the Humanities and the Arts – what new terrains are you exploring? Join us on the journey.

* Compute Grids and Clouds
* Visualisation
* Simulation and Modelling
* Disruptive Technologies
* Bio-computing
* 3D Internet
* Sustainability
* Exemplars from Super Science initiatives
* Exemplars from other fields
The Data Track seeks submissions on topics including but not limited to:
* Data Commons
* Data Grids and Clouds
* Building Data Management Capabilities
* Data Utilities
* Generating Data
* Discovering Data
* Exchanging Data
* Reusing Data
* Combining Data
* Publishing Data
* Exemplars from Super Science initiatives
* Examplars from other fields
As for previous years, the conference is also interested in submissions to the General Program on topics including but not limited to:
* eResearch exemplars in all fields and disciplines
* Identity and access management
* Collaboration tools and environments
* Networks
* Sensors
* Instrumentation
* Legal and policy frameworks
* eResearch training and capability development
* Supporting eResearch within and among organisations
* eResearch intermediaries
Options include giving a presentation, convening a BoF (birds of a feather session), convening a workshop, and displaying a poster. Options for exhibitors and sponsors are also available.
We look forward to seeing you at the conference and hearing about your work! Please see www.eresearch.edu.au for more details and to register as an author.
