About BioGRID at the National University of Singapore
The Computational Grid is an important emerging paradigm for organizing and sharing computing, network, storage
and instrument resources in large-scale applications.
In Singapore, the Bioinformatics Centre of NUS has held a
BioGRID computing symposium on the
26th October 2001 to focus on Computational Grids in the diverse fields of Life Sciences.
The BioGrid Computing Symposium 2001 in Singapore brought together participants from an interdisciplinary background
to learn about grid applications and infrastructure with the aim of planning and discussing future directions for
grid development in the life sciences for the Asia Pacific Region beginning in Singapore.
Local and
International speakers presented the latest overview of Grid Computing and its interface with the
Life Sciences, as well as specific research developments
(Handouts). A special discussion session to coordinate
the growth of a regional BioGrid was successfully concluded.
Participants will endeavour to implement GRID computing technologies
in their own institutions and collaborate with each other on bioinformatics
projects as discussed in the
biogrid@apbionet.org mailing list of
APBioNet.
