DESCRIPTION:CANARIE and McGill University Office of Research and Innovation
  invite you to share your perspective on the development and use of reusab
 le research software tools.\n\nCANARIE designs and delivers digital infras
 tructure\, and drives its adoption for Canada’s research\, education and i
 nnovation communities. CANARIE keeps Canada at the forefront of digital re
 search and innovation\, fundamental to a vibrant digital economy.\n\nFor t
 he past decade\, CANARIE has been funding researchers to develop research 
 platforms. Research platforms are typically large\, custom software system
 s that support most or all of the research workflow.  Early in the program
  it became apparent that regardless of discipline\, these platforms had si
 gnificant commonality. In order to leverage this commonality to reduce sof
 tware development time and accelerate research\, CANARIE began to fund sof
 tware services. Service are smaller\, re-useable software components that 
 contribute one piece of functionality to a research platform. Research pla
 tforms can be built faster as using previously developed services turns ti
 me-consuming software development tasks into shorter software integration 
 efforts.\n\nBut there’s a problem. Although the service model makes resear
 ch platform development more efficient\, there are still too many new rese
 arch platforms being created. There is still duplication of functionality 
 in areas that are not covered by the service library and more platforms me
 ans more spent on maintenance and less funding available to support new re
 search.\n\nThis is where you come in. CANARIE is exploring ways to evolve 
 the program to support more platform-level reuse\, including cross-discipl
 ine re-use\, and we’d like your opinion. We want to make sure the program 
 meets the needs of Canadian researchers.  For discussion:\n\nDirect Platfo
 rm Re-use Model\n\nCANARIE would fund those with access to software resear
 ch platforms to make those platforms re-useable by others.\n	Who would cont
 ribute a re-useable platform? Would it make more sense for faculty from Co
 mputer Science/Software Engineering departments to maintain research platf
 orms on behalf of others?\n	What would be the incentive(s) for platform con
 tributors?\n	How would potential new users be identified?\nResearch Softwar
 e Institute Model\n\nCANARIE funds a team of research software experts to 
 work with researchers developing custom software.\n	Software re-use would b
 e accomplished through the knowledge of different projects gained by this 
 team.\nGuest speaker: Scott Henwood\, Director\, Research Software\, CANAR
 IE\n\nA light lunch and refreshments will be served. \n\nPlease RSVP to li
 nda [dot] rice [at] mcgill [dot] ca\n\n \n\n \n\n \n
