e-Science Institute 18th July 2005
This half-day event, held on July 18th and jointly organised by NeSC
and IBM UK, presented the UK's latest products and services for eScience. Chaired by Prof. Tony Hey, Director of the UK e-Science
Core Programme, it attracted a diverse audience of delegates from
both ongoing and upcoming research projects in e-Science.
Following presentations on the NGS, OMII and OGSA-DAI, a lively
Q&A panel session discussed security, product scalability and
general access to the grid. Particularly worthy of note was the interest
received from delegates working in the Social Sciences, an area into
which e-Science is rapidly expanding.
