ESLEA proposal to FGCS Journal accepted
|
A proposal to publish a special section onfindings from the ESLEA project has been accepted by Future Generation Computer Systems (FGCS), a leading international archival research journal focused on all the aspects of grid and distributed computing.
ESLEA researchers have been invited to submit papers based on one or more of the following topics:
• Advanced circuit reservation
• Network protocols research, e.g. DCCP and high speed TCP
• ATLAS particle physics application
• CDF particle physics application
• Radio astronomy (e-VLBI) application
• High performance computing applications
• Integrative Biology e-health application.
The deadline for submission of papers for internal review is 1st June 2007.
Further details, including important dates, are available in the Call for Papers or by contacting Colin Greenwood , ESLEA Project Manager. |

e-VLBI : 0.5 Gbps Trans-Atlantic user data transfer on UKLight
|
|
The recent iGRID2005 and SC2005 demonstrations in September and November 2005 enabled the e-VLBI and networking communities to make major steps forward in the development of global e-VLBI. Close collaboration between radio astronomy and networking experts from the US, Japan, the UK, Sweden and the Netherlands resulted in a very successful global experiment. |
