To Pisa and Crete
I am off to Pisa, Italy for a CoreGRIDWP3 meeting and then to Crete, Greece for a workshop on Grid and P2P Architecture where I am going to give a 30 min talk on what we’ve been doing here as part of WS-GAF. In both meetings I am going to push the “Web Services are…

Microsoft and distributed, high-performance computing
This article mentions Microsoft‘s unannounced efforts for “grid” computing. This sounds extremely interesting. I can’t wait to see more information about this. One of the things I want to concentrate as part of my research, now that WS-GAF is almost finished (White Dwarfs, CHEERS info soon), is the use of the .NET platform and Indigo…
