SUMMARY:National Leadership Class Computing Resources and Opportunities for UCLA Researchers
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Energy\, National Science Foundation\, and the National Aeronautical Space Agency support an ecosystem of “leadership class” computing facilities housing some of the world’s most advanced supercomputers and high-end visualization and data analysis resources. These facilities provide “free” computing cycles at scale and storage to researchers from academia. Access to these resources is obtained through an application process that is based on the merit of the research objectives\, and demonstration of the efficacy and parallel scalability of the software. \nThe aim of this presentation is to explain the capabilities of various “leadership class” computing facilities. It will also describe the IDRE Pipeline program which helps transition UCLA researchers from local resources and take advantage of these “free” magnificent computing facilities.

SUMMARY:Current and future requirements for Advanced Research Cyberinfrastructure - Panel Discussion
DESCRIPTION:The Institute for Digital Research and Education is pleased to announce a panel discussion on current and future requirements for Advanced Research Cyberinfrastructure (ARC). The discussion will be led by the following early career researchers from various disciplines across the UCLA campus. \n\nBao Wang – Mathematics\nAlan Farahani – Cotsen Institute of Archaeology\nKarthik Sarma – Medical Imaging Informatics\nRichard Sportsman – Chemistry and Biochemistry\nIris Chang – Material Science and Engineering\nFrancesca Albrezzi – World Arts and Cultures\n\nDate: Oct 25\, 2017\nTime: 11:45 AM-1 PM (lunch provided*)\nPlace: 5628 Math Sciences Building \nRSVP: https://idre.ucla.edu/calendar-event/panel-on-arc-oct2017 \nAbout: Decades ago\, it was hard to imagine the scale at which Advanced Research Cyberinfrastructure (ARC) at any university would drive the innovation and enhance its research capabilities. Today\, ARC is playing increasingly important role in research involving data\, computation\, communication\, and information sharing. By providing cutting-edge opportunities to researchers\, it enhances faculty competitiveness among peer organizations.  Due to the fast pace of ever-changing technology\, however\, envisaging the future requirements of the ARC  is a daunting exercise. Infrastructure planning requires inputs from various segments across the university especially from the early career researchers who are at the forefront of the use of technology in research. This panel discussion on “Current and future requirements for Advanced Research Cyberinfrastructure” is part of the exercise to get the feedback from the diverse community of early career researchers from the UCLA campus. \n*Since we need the count for lunch\, please make sure to RSVP if you plan to attend the fruitful discussion.

SUMMARY:Resurrecting Historical Monuments: 3D Models\, Metadata\, and the Case of the Lady Chapel at Saint-Germain-des-Prés
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \nSpeaker: Kristine Tanton\, Ph.D.\,\nIDRE Scholar\,\nDepartment of Art History\,\nUniversity of California\, Los Angeles \n  \nTime: 11:45 A.M. – 1 P.M. (Lunch will be served*)\nDate: May 10\, 2017\nLocation: 5628\, Math Sciences Building\nRSVP: https://idre.ucla.edu/calendar-event/resurrecting-historical-monuments#rsvp \n  \nAbstract: How do art and architectural historians study monuments that have been lost to time? Our understanding of these monuments relies mainly on fragmentary evidence such as textual descriptions\, drawings\, or lithic fragments scattered throughout various warehouses\, archives\, and museums. Advances in CAD-based software has made it possible to bring these disparate sources together to reconstruct digitally these monumental specters. A current challenge for scholars is how do we annotate our 3D models and share them across various platforms and native software.\n \nThe digital humanities project\, Paris Past and Present at UCLA (Prof. Meredith Cohen\, PI)\, aims to reconstruct digitally in 3D the lost monuments of Gothic Paris (ca. 1000~1500) with archaeological precision. By integrating the fragmented evidence remaining from these buildings into coherent virtual models\, we can expand the limited corpus of extant monuments and reshape our knowledge of medieval architecture. A significant component of our work has been developing a method of reconstruction and display that clarifies the difference between original evidence\, extrapolations based on the evidence\, and sheer hypothesis. To this end we are integrating existing architectural practices (e.g.\, OpenBIM)\, which allow us to attach data to our models.\n \nIn this paper\, I will discuss how we are developing standards for attaching\, viewing\, and sharing data for 3D models. Using our reconstruction of the thirteenth-century Lady Chapel of Saint-Germain-des-Prés as a case study\, I will discuss how our annotation process integrates existing OpenBIM technology to document all data and project workflow for our 3D models\, while also addressing the unique needs for historical reconstructions to the scholarly community. \nAbout speaker: Kristine Tanton is an IDRE postdoctoral fellow and project manager for the collaborative project at UCLA\, Paris Past and Present. Working with Prof. Meredith Cohen (PI\, Department of Art History) and a team of graduate and undergraduate students\, she manages project workflow and serves as a modeler for the project. To date\, the team has completed 3D models for about a dozen buildings that were first constructed during the reign of Louis IX (Saint Louis). \nDr. Tanton received her Ph.D. in Art History from the University of Southern California in 2013. She integrates traditional and emerging methods to study the dynamic relationship among sculpture\, architecture\, and ritual activity in the Middle Ages. She is especially interested in how new media and information technology can transform research and pedagogy in the field of pre-modern art and architectural history. Using digital tools such as 3D reconstructions\, animations to track ritual movements through architectural space\, and databases to formally and quantitatively analyze large datasets\, she has been able to reevaluate long-held assumptions about canonical sites to gain insights into medieval architectural design and construction methods. \n  \n*Lunch will be served at 11:45 AM.\n**To ensure you have a space at the seminar\, please RSVP by May 8\, 2017.
