lecture CERN: The Future of Information Technology
Date/Time: Thursday, 27 May 2004 - 14:30 (Europe/Zurich)
Location: QEII Conference Centre, Westminster, UK ( -Westminster Suite- )
Description: Sell to CERN, partner with CERN and learn about its pivotal role in European Grids and e-business

This afternoon event will highlight the key areas of distributed computing and enterprise applications to Information and Communication Technology companies. The meeting will be held as a joint forum with First Tuesday Geneva, a networking organisation for business and investors in the Geneva region.

The CERN Openlab for DataGrid applications is a means by which companies may partner with CERN to testbed their hardware and software products for Grid applications. Grid technology developed at CERN is already being used for particle physics and healthcare applications, making the laboratory an ideal site for collaborative development. British companies are already participating in this initiative and the opportunity is now available to medium-sized IT companies. In addition, a number of enterprise applications will be described. This software has been developed to manage the unique engineering and administrative challenges of this international organisation, which is building the largest scientific instrument on the planet. The event will be followed by a reception.
