@article{wilson2012practices, abstract = {Scientists spend an increasing amount of time building and using software. However, most scientists are never taught how to do this efficiently. As a result, many are unaware of tools and practices that would allow them to write more reliable and maintainable code with less effort. We describe a set of best practices for scientific software development that have solid foundations in research and experience, and that improve scientists' productivity and the reliability of their software.}, author = {Wilson, Greg and Aruliah, D.

People want to help their communities respond to threats such as earthquakes, wildfires, mudslides and hurricanes, and they want to participate in research that helps them understand and improve their environment. “Citizen Science” projects that facilitate this interaction include projects that monitor climate change, water quality and animal habitats. My thesis explores the design and analysis of community-based sense and response systems that enable individuals to participate in critical community activities and scientific research that monitors their environments.}, author = {Olson, Michael J.}, interhash = {a9cdee464e76cd5210c13d7f66981e83}, intrahash = {d9e22a1a5e9404a805aee5cb0fd406c4}, school = {California Institute of Technology}, title = {Cloud computing for citizen science}, type = {Master's thesis}, url = {http://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechTHESIS:08232011-122341638}, year = 2012 }
