Innovating through e-Science

The first projects to be funded under the UK e-Science Programme are now mature enough to demonstrate clearly how e-Science can enable faster, better or different research. Many will be discussed or demonstrated at this conference. Embargoed press releases on some of the highlights will be issued on EurekAlert! over the next few days.

Here is a taster of some:

  • Particle physicists will announce the next step in constructing a global Grid to enable them to exploit the massive data streams expected when the Large Hadron Collider in CERN turns on in 2007.
  • The AstroGrid project will announce the first release of a working 'Virtual Observatory' for astronomers.
  • A web services based system will be demonstrated that incorporates real-time weather forecast data into the SARIS search and rescue information system.
  • An e-Science technique will be presented that helps researchers to find needles of insight in haystacks of data generated by bigger and better facilities to probe matter with intense particle or X-ray beams.
  • The e-Materials project has predicted a previously unidentified crystal structure, or polymorph, of a drug molecule.
  • Archaeologists will demonstrate the use of e-Science techniques in the field.
  • A pharmaceutical company is using an output of the Discovery Net project to speed up the process of drug discovery
  • Results will be presented from the first use of UKLight, the UK's national switched circuit optical network.

    Journalists are invited to attend an informal media briefing at 3pm on Wednesday 21st September where they will be able to meet the researchers who have been involved in these and other developments (see below for registration details).

    The conference is a forum for all e-Science researchers, developers and users, no matter what their discipline. Sessions will address key Grid middleware issues, as well as scientific applications, including how to make e-Science
