PURPOSE OF WORKSHOP
This edikt workshop will feature a series of talks about research computing around the University. The purpose of the workshop is for researchers to exchange knowledge and experience in research computing amongst interested parties.
The edikt (eScience Data, Information and Knowledge Transformation) project has been running since May 2002 and is using computational science to extract knowledge from vast datasets and simulation models. edikt is funded by the Scottish Funding Council.
For more information on edikt, see the project web site at http://www.edikt.org.
AGENDA
The workshop will be an update on three of the four embedded edikt2 posts. Talks will be given by Dr. Andrew Turner (Chemistry), Dr. Javier Santoyo-Lopez (DPM) and Dr. Jano van Hemert (NeSC).
There will also be a discussion around what we can do to facilitate software being produced by the University being released to the general public or other researchers.
