Abstract

There is great need for coordination around standards and best practices in neuroscience to support efforts to make neuroscience a data-centric discipline. Major brain initiatives launched around the world are poised to generate huge stores of neuroscience data. At the same time, neuroscience, like many domains in biomedicine, is confronting the issues of transparency, rigor, and reproducibility. Widely used, validated standards and best practices are key to addressing the challenges in both big and small data science, as they are essential for integrating diverse data and for developing a robust, effective, and sustainable infrastructure to support open and reproducible neuroscience. However, developing community standards and gaining their adoption is difficult. The current landscape is characterized both by a lack of robust, validated standards and a plethora of overlapping, underdeveloped, untested and underutilized standards and best practices. The International Neuroinformatics Coordinating Facility (INCF), an independent organization dedicated to promoting data sharing through the coordination of infrastructure and standards, has recently implemented a formal procedure for evaluating and endorsing community standards and best practices in support of the FAIR principles. By formally serving as a standards organization dedicated to open and FAIR neuroscience, INCF helps evaluate, promulgate, and coordinate standards and best practices across neuroscience. Here, we provide an overview of the process and discuss how neuroscience can benefit from having a dedicated standards body.

5. Virtually Yours: Thoughts on Where We Have Been and Where We Are Going with Virtual Reference Services in Libraries.

Author

Kresh, Diane

Subjects
*ELECTRONIC reference services (Libraries), *LIBRARY reference services, *COMPUTER network resources, *RESEARCH libraries, *LIBRARY cooperation
Abstract

The world of the reference librarian is changing. As more and more patrons go to the Internet first to meet their information needs, libraries must be there to help them locate and obtain relevant information. Libraries have been experimenting with virtual reference tools for some time. This paper will provide a brief overview of the development of virtual reference services, examine the need for and provide lessons learned from implementing virtual reference services in a major research library.

Abstract

Mestrado em Gestão de Sistemas de Informação O presente trabalho de mestrado visa otimizar o processo de gestão de risco, bem como alinhar a instituição em conformidade com as normas e boas práticas internacionais de gestão do risco operacional. Desenvolveu-se uma solução que integra a classificação e registo dos riscos associados a todos incidentes registados no Banco Nacional de Angola (BNA). Iniciou-se o projeto com a análise e levantamento de requisitos, onde foi feita uma análise detalhada dos requisitos definidos pelo cliente, o departamento de Gestão de risco (DRI). Com isso foi possível atingir o objetivo, criando um sistema de informação, bem como um processo que permita deter e analisar a informação dos principais riscos a que o Banco está exposto. Este sistema não só responde a uma necessidade clara do DRI, em gerir os incidentes e os riscos associados, como fornece uma framework de gestão de risco alinhado com as normas e melhores praticas definidas pelas instituições internacionais no âmbito da gestão de incidentes. A implementação desta ferramenta vai gerar uma mudança significativa no processo organizacional do BNA, nomeadamente em questões politicas, culturais e humanas. This master project research intends to optimize the risk management process, as well as to align the institution in accordance with the international standards and good practices of operational risk management, a solution was developed that integrated the classification and recording of the risks associated with all incidents registered with the National Bank of Angola (BNA). The project began with the analysis and survey of requirements, where a detailed analysis of the requirements defined by the client, the DRI department, was made. With this, it was possible to achieve the objective by creating an information system, as well as a process that allows collect and analyze the information of the main risks to which the Bank is exposed. This system not only responds to a clear need for the department of risk management (DRI), to manage incidents and associated risks, but also provides a risk management framework in line with the standards and best practices defined by international institutions in incident management. The implementation of this tool will generate a significant change in the organizational process of the BNA, namely in political, cultural and human issues. info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion

7. Unintentional and Unbalanced Transparency.

Author

Booch, Grady

Subjects
*RIGHT of privacy, *SECURITIES policy, *SOCIAL networks, *COMPUTER software security
Abstract

Security and privacy are interdependent concepts. Each impacts the other, but to say that they are alternatives is a false dichotomy. Both are issues of human concern; their policies and their risks may be made manifest in software-intensive systems. Architecting a system that attends to the needs of security and privacy is possible and desirable, yet there are often unintended and unexpected consequences in so doing. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

Abstract

High-performance computing facilities in the US consume enormous amounts of electricity, cutting into research budgets and challenging efforts to reduce energy consumption and meet environmental goals. Facility designs that target efficiency greatly reduce energy demand. This case study describes strategies and technologies to achieve facility energy reductions through thoughtful design.
