Fundación Ibercivis Instituto de Biocomputación y Física de Sistemas Complejos de la Universidad de Zaragoza Enero 2017 Observatorio de la ciencia ciudadana en España Estudio de publicaciones científicas !1 1. ESTUDIO Lo que nos propusimos analizar es ver hasta qué punto las distintas iniciativas de la ciencia ciudadana en nuestro país alcanzan a tener un reflejo en las publicaciones científicas “profesionales”, entendiendo por tales aquellas que están recogidas en el Web Of Science (WOS1) de Thomson-Reuters. La elaboración de mecanismos de evaluación de impacto más adecuados al mundo de la ciencia ciudadana es una necesidad reclamada insistentemente por la comunidad, pero mientras no se haya podido consensuar ninguno deberemos restringirnos a la evaluación de la ciencia ciudadana con las mismas herramientas que se emplean para el estudio de la Ciencia “profesional”. Para ello, en colaboración con la empresa Kampal Data Solutions, se ha empleado un análisis del conjunto de publicaciones en los que el término “citizen science” ha quedado recogido en el título o resumen (abstract) de la publicación. A partir de ese conjunto se han identificado todos los autores, se han ubicado por nacionalidad y se ha creado una red compleja con los autores definiendo los nodos y las publicaciones representando las relaciones entre ellos. El software desarrollado por Kampal permite entonces el análisis de este sistema, el estudio de sus características más importantes, su evolución histórica, etc. Toda la información está disponible en la página web del proyecto, aunque vamos a resumir aquí las conclusiones más importantes: Desde el punto de vista histórico el origen de la significativa revolución experimentada por la disciplina podemos situarlo en 2005, fecha en la que el número de publicaciones comenzó a crecer de manera imparable. ! En el caso de España, el proceso ha sido similar, pero se ha iniciado bastante más tarde (2008), y a una escala 40 veces inferior. ! 1 https://webofknowledge.com/ Observatorio de la ciencia ciudadana en España Estudio de publicaciones científicas !2 La temática de la mayor parte de las publicaciones se enmarca dentro del área de las ciencias ambientales, donde la toma de datos de flora, fauna, sus cambios estacionales, evolución de datos climáticos, etc, son un área donde los científicos no profesionales pueden participar de forma muy eficiente. El uso de la computación voluntaria ha sido otro importante foco de participación ciudadana, en este caso mucho menos activa, pero en el marco del cual se han producido contribuciones en un espectro mucho más amplio de campos: Ciencias del espacio (SETI@home, ZooUniverse), Bioquímica (Fold-It), etc. El uso de estudios de ciencia ciudadana que tengan un reflejo en publicaciones científicas del WOK están dominadas por autores anglosajones, estadounidenses y británicos principalmente (como ejemplo, consideremos el mapa siguiente, donde se han coloreado los nodos (representan a los investigadores) en función del país de su institución de origen. Se aprecia claramente que el color verde claro -correspondiente con los EEEUU- y el gris plomo -Reino Unido- son los colores dominantes y casi los únicos donde se obtienen comunidades con publicaciones frecuentes (más de una línea de conexión). Históricamente este dominio está justificado en la larguísima tradición de sociedades científicas amateurs dedicadas a problemas medioambientales y geográficos, que se remontan en gran parte de los casos, a finales del siglo XIX. El resto de países occidentales donde esta tradición no ha existido presenta muy pocos ejemplos de ciencia ciudadana con trascendencia científica de calidad, siendo el caso de España un ejemplo claro, como se puede ver en la siguiente gráfica. Observatorio de la ciencia ciudadana en España Estudio de publicaciones científicas !3 En nuestro país se cuentan en menos de 20 los artículos de este tipo, y los grupos que los han producido, en todos los casos, lo han hecho sólo una vez. Todas las publicaciones analizadas en colaboración con la empresa Kampal Data Solutions que contenían “citizen sccience” en el título o en el abstract. Cada nodo es un firmante, si existe enlace entre ellos es que han firmado algún paper conjuntamente. ! Observatorio de la ciencia ciudadana en España Estudio de publicaciones científicas !4 2.

In this paper, we describe the experience of setting up a computational infrastructure based on BOINC middleware and running a volunteer computing project on its basis. We characterize the first series of computational experiments and review the project's development in its first six months. The gathered experience shows that BOINC-based Desktop Grids allow to to efficiently aid drug discovery at its early stages. Keywords: Desktop Grid · Distributed computing · Volunteer comput- ing · BOINC · Virtual drug screening · Molecular docking · SARS-CoV-2 1 Introduction Among the variety of high-performance computing (HPC) systems, Desktop Grids hold a special place due to their enormous potential and, at the same time, high availability.

However, that people are willing to change their current practice and say that they want to participate in Grid efforts does not mean that they are actually going to do that. Need to generate trust in the organisation that manages the Grid. People want to donate computing time for scientific applications, especially medical applications. They do not like to donate computing time to commercial or defense applications. People want feedback on the application they are running. No clear technical barriers perceived by the respondents: so this does not need much attention. Overall the respondents were rather positive about donating computing time for a Grid or about running applications on a Grid.

With science, you can turn a frog into a Ph.D. and you still have the frog you started with.” Terry Pratchett Abstract Volunteer computing offers researchers and developers the possibility to distribute their huge computational jobs to the computers of volunteers. So, most of the overall cost for computational power and maintenance is spread across the volunteers. This makes it possible to gain computing resources that otherwise only expensive grids, clusters, or supercomputers offer. Most volunteer computing solutions are based on a client-server model. The server manages the distribution of subjobs to the computers of volunteers, the clients, which in turn compute the subjobs and return the results to the server. The Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing (BOINC) is the most used middleware for volunteer computing. A drawback of any client-server architecture is the server being the single point of control and failure. To get rid of the single point of failure, we developed different distribution algorithms (epoch distribution algorithm, sliding-window distribution algorithm, and extended epoch distribution algorithm) based on unstructured peer-to-peer networks. These algorithms enable the researchers and developers to create volunteer computing networks without any central server.

  • Projects on BONIC?
    PRESENTED BY: SAJIN GEORGE PRIYANKA ANGADI Overview of the talk ● GRID and Cluster computing and what are their differences. ● What is BOINC and how it works ? ● Key features of BOINC. ● Power consumption and Energy consumption. ● Projects that are currently using BOINC ● BONIC interface and Client Software. ● How to setup your own BOINC. GRID COMPUTING A distributed computing environment that uses its own resources to handle computational tasks. Grid VS Cluster Loosely coupled Tightly coupled systems (Decentralization) Single system image Diversity and Dynamism Centralized Job Distributed Job management & scheduling Management & scheduling system Volunteer computing. Volunteer computing is an arrangement in which people (volunteers) provide computing resources to projects, which use the resources to do distributed computing and/or storage. ● Volunteers are typically members of the general public who own Internet-connected PCs. Organizations such as schools and businesses may also volunteer the use of their computers. ● Projects are typically academic (university-based) and do scientific research. But there are exceptions; for example, GIMPS and distributed.net (two major projects) are not academic www.bonic.com What is B.O.I.N.C ? is a massive open-source grid computing tool by the university of berkeley. How BOINC works ? How the software works CREDIT The project's server keeps track of how much work your computer has done; this is called credit. To ensure that credit is granted fairly, most BOINC projects work as follows: ● Each task may be sent to two computers. ● When a computer reports a result, it claims a certain amount of credit, based on how much CPU time was used.
