ISCG 2008
The International Symposium on Grid Computing (ISGC) 2008 was held in Taipei, Taiwan from 7 to 11 April 2008. Organized by ASGC since 2002, ISGC is stepping into the 7th year of this grand event. ISGC is one of the most significant annual international events in the Asia Pacific region that brings together scientists and engineers to exchange ideas and to present on challenges, solutions and future development issues in the field of Grid Computing.
ACGT was represented by our partner Poznan Supercomputing Center. Juliusz Pukacki presented the Grid aspects of ACGT in the "Biomedicine and Life Sciences" session. The presentation included a general overview of ACGT goals, and the role of Grid technologies in cancer research.
ACGT Technical meeting, Milan
In February we had a nice and fruitful general consortium meeting in Milan, Italy, organized by our partner European Institute of Oncology (IEO). We thank our hosts IEO, the food (of course!) was excellent and to top it all up, ACGT members were introduced to our new guest star (the ACGT Magnetic piggy)!
EBCC-6, Berlin, April 15-16
In the recent European Breast Cancer Conference (EBCC-6) ACGT organized the workshop ?Advancing Clinico Genomic Trials on cancer: open grid services for improving medical knowledge discovery?. Attended by over 50 delegates from both industry and academia the workshop presented the rationale of the ACGT initiative together with latest results both on the clinical and technical aspects of the project.
