CamGrid Symposium 2011 Special
Description
A collection of presentations by some CamGrid users describing their work on the university's computational grid. Various research fields spanning the biological and physical sciences will be discussed in the context of solving associated problems using distributed computing.
Target audience
University students, researchers and PIs involved in computationally intensive work, irrespective of discipline. Non Cambridge University members please contact us to register for this event.
