Computing and the Internet2
 in Life Sciences Research
Biomedical Research Institutions Information Technology Exchange
Hartwell Center for Bioinformatics and Biotechnology

      The meeting will focus on the role and application of High Performance
Computing and the Internet2 in life sciences research.  High-performance 
networking, typified by the Internet2, coupled with grid computing 
initiatives at the supercomputing centers and elsewhere are changing 
the size and scope of problems that can be addressed.  How do biomedical 
research groups tap into these resources and effectively use them for 
computation and collaborative potential they represent.  
 Ample time will also be allotted to special interest groups and technology exchange sessions. |
