David Williams27/09/2004, 09:30Plenary Sessionsoral presentation"Where are your Wares" Computing in the broadest sense has a long history, and Babbage (1791-1871), Hollerith (1860-1929) Zuse (1910-1995), many other early pioneers, and the wartime code breakers, all made important breakthroughs. CERN was founded as the first valve-based digital computers were coming onto the market. I will consider 50 years of Computing at CERN from the...Go to contribution page

M. Purschke (Brookhaven National Laboratory)27/09/2004, 12:00Plenary Sessionsoral presentationThe concepts and technologies applied in data acquisition systems have changed dramatically over the past 15 years. Generic DAQ components and standards such as CAMAC and VME have largely been replaced by dedicated FPGA and ASIC boards, and dedicated real-time operation systems like OS9 or VxWorks have given way to Linux- based trigger processor and event building farms. We have also...Go to contribution page

Ellisman (National Center for Microscopy and Imaging Research of the Center for Research in Biological Systems - The Department of Neurosciences, University of California San Diego School of Medicine - La Jolla, California - USA)28/09/2004, 11:00Plenary Sessionsoral presentationThe grand goal in neuroscience research is to understand how the interplay of structural, chemical and electrical signals in nervous tissue gives rise to behavior. Experimental advances of the past decades have given the individual neuroscientist an increasingly powerful arsenal for obtaining data, from the level of molecules to nervous systems. Scientists have begun the arduous and...Go to contribution page

David Kelsey (RAL)28/09/2004, 11:30Plenary Sessionsoral presentationThe aim of Grid computing is to enable the easy and open sharing of resources between large and highly distributed communities of scientists and institutes across many independent administrative domains. Convincing site security officers and computer centre managers to allow this to happen in view of today's ever-increasing Internet security problems is a major challenge. Convincing...Go to contribution page

Ken Peach (RAL)28/09/2004, 12:00Plenary Sessionsoral presentationJust as the development of the World Wide Web has had its greatest impact outside particle physics, so it will be with the development of the Grid. E-science, of which the Grid is just a small part, is already making a big impact upon many scientific disciplines, and facilitating new scientific discoveries that would be difficult to achieve in any other way. Key to this is the...Go to contribution page

Stan Williams (HP)29/09/2004, 11:00Plenary Sessionsoral presentationToday's computers are roughly a factor of one billion less efficient at doing their job than the laws of fundamental physics state that they could be. How much of this efficiency gain will we actually be able to harvest? What are the biggest obstacles to achieving many orders of magnitude improvement in our computing hardware, rather that the roughly factor of two we are used to...Go to contribution page

Peter Clarke30/09/2004, 11:30Plenary Sessionsoral presentationThe global network is more than ever taking its role as the great "enabler" for many branches of science and research. Foremost amongst such science drivers is of course the LHC/LCG programme, although there are several other sectors with growing demands of the network. Common to all of these is the realisation that a straightforward over provisioned best efforts wide area IP...Go to contribution page

F. Fluckiger (CERN)30/09/2004, 12:00Plenary Sessionsoral presentationThe Architectural Principles of the Internet have dominated the past decade. Orthogonal to the telecommunications industry principles, they dramatically changed the networking landscape because they relied on iconoclastic ideas. First, the Internet end-to-end principle, which stipulates that the network should intervene minimally on the end-to-end traffic, pushing the complexity to the...Go to contribution page
