e-Science Research at Edinburgh and Glasgow

This presentation's focus is on the computer science research performed at the National e-Science Centre as part of the University of Edinburg and the University of Glasgow. Another submission reports on the community support offered by the National e-Science Centre.

e-Science facilitates bidirectional flow of methods and practice between computer science and science, art, humanities and social science. It allows these disciplines to progress their research in more efficient and novel ways. It provides computer science with feedback to enable improvement of its methods. It encourages computational thinking, which will bring long-term benefits in data-intensive research.
