Note: On 21 - 23 May 2008 I will participate in the "Workshop on Publishing Scholarly Journals" to be held in Ateneo de Manila University, Philippines. I will represent the Philippine Computing Journal (PCJ) and the Philippine Information Technology Journal (PITJ); both journals are published by the Computing Society of the Philippines (CSP).
Below are some details:
Workshop on "Publishing Quality and Online Strategy for Philippine Journals"
An INASP (International Network for the Availability of Scientific Publications, an Oxford-based program of the International Council of Science (ICSU)), workshop in collaboration with
the Philippine Association of Scholarly and Academic Publishers (PASAP) , National Book Development Board (NBDB) , Ateneo De Manila University ,
De La Salle University-Manila , C&E Publishing, and Asia Pacific College,
21 May to 23 May 2008.
Workshop objectives:
1. To assess and improve journal quality
2. To assist the journals to plan for publishing online
3. To discuss and establish procedures for the establishment of a Journals Online programme within the Philippines
Participants:
The workshop is specifically designed for editors and publishers who are involved in journal publishing, have a responsibility for some or all of the management of their publications, and are interested in participating in the Philippines Journals Online project.
Workshop administrative details:
Location: Rm. 114 CTC Building, Ateneo de Manila University, Katipunan, Loyola Heights, Q.C. Philippines

ABSTRACT
The Medical Grid (MedGrid) Project was initiated in 2004 to study and demonstrate the use of grid technology in medical applications, in particular, in the management and analysis of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) datasets. For this, the MedGrid testbed was formed to provide a platform for the study and to demonstrate the feasibility of the idea. In this paper, we summarize the progress we’ve made in the last four years in implementing a grid-based fMRI data management and analysis framework within the MedGrid testbed.

The Role of Local Journals in Advancing Information Technology Research in the Philippines by Dr. Rafael Saldaña
PHILIPPINE INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY JOURNAL (PITJ)

Editor’s Notes:
The Role of Local Journals in Advancing Information Technology
Research in the Philippines*

There is no doubt that information technology (IT) plays a vital role in today’s society. Every facet of one’s life is practically linked to IT. The Internet, one of the marvels of modern society, has spawned several industries and fueled considerable economic growth. But the Internet did not develop overnight. It is a product of academic researchers who made such revolutionary technologies possible.
Information technology contributes immensely in advancing knowledge in many fields of endeavor. For example, information technology enables scientists and academics to collaborate remotely on common research projects which speed up the process of discovery and the search for new knowledge.
Sadly, many schools and institutions in our country lack access to one key ingredient in the promotion of information technology research -- the availability of local journals in information technology.
It is for this reason that in the year 2005 the Computing Society of the Philippines (CSP) founded a local journal dedicated to advancing computing research in the country. Thus, the Philippine Computing Journal (PCJ), the official publication of the Computing Society of the Philippines was born. The PCJ is primarily the outlet of research papers presented during annual conventions of the CSP – the Philippine Computing Science Congress (PCSC), and other CSP-initiated research fora such as the Symposium on Mathematical Aspects of Computer Science (SMACS) and the Workshop on Modeling, Simulation and Scientific Computing (MODEL).
But what about IT educators that are not yet within the sphere of CSP?
To help further develop IT research in the country, the Computing Society of the Philippines has teamed up with the Philippine Society of Information Technology Educators (PSITE) to produce a journal of information technology, the PITJ or Philippine Information Technology Journal, which is aimed at promoting greater participation from IT educators in doing IT research in our country.
We recognize the important role of local journals in advancing IT research in the Philippines. In evaluating IT programs in schools, the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) looks for the schools’ subscriptions to local IT journals. Now, schools in the Philippines are given more options.
We hope that with the publication of local journals such as the Philippine Computing Journal and the Philippine Information Technology Journal, IT research in the Philippines will prosper.
