DAS3 Opening Symposium

On the occasion of the installation of the third generation of the Distributed ASCI Supercomputer (DAS3), the ASCI research school organized a symposium at Delft University of Technology on June 1, 2007. The program of the symposium included scientific presentations and demonstrations of work performed with the current and previous generations of the DAS, of two keynote presentations on wide-area computing, and of the official inauguration of the DAS3. The symposium was especially meant for members of ASCI and researchers in the BSIK programs Virtual Lab for e-Science (VL-e) and MultimediaN.
