Executable Paper Grand Challenge is a contest created to improve the way scientific information is communicated and used. It asks: How can we develop a model for executable files that is compatible with the user=E2=80=99s operating system and architecture and adaptable = to future systems? How do we manage very large file sizes? How do we validate data and code, and decrease the reviewer=E2=80=99s workload? How to support registering and tracking of actions taken on the =E2=80=98executable paper?=E2=80=99 The purpose of the Executable Paper Challenge is to invite scientists to put forth their ideas pertaining to these pressing and unsolved questions. See http://www.executablepapers.com for more information, deadlines, etc. Cheers - bw --=20 Bill White . billw@wolfram.com . http://members.wolfram.com/billw "No ma'am, we're musicians."
