Aim |
||
|
The aim of the conference is to create a bigger awareness about the
possibilities and advantages linked to the deployment of GRID technology
in health. In this context "Health" does not involve only clinical
practice but covers the whole range of information from molecular level
(genetic and proteomic information) over cells and tissues, to the
individual and finally the population level (social healthcare). Grid
technology offers the opportunity to create a common working backbone
for all different members of this large "Health family" and will
hopefully lead to an increased awareness and interoperability among
disciplines. | ||

Posters
A room will be available for poster presentations during the two days of the workshop, from 9h to 19h. We are providing support for posters of a maximum size of 90cm (width) x 120cm (height) [A0 format]. The support will be set so that the poster is displayed vertically. Demonstrations The room for demonstrations will be open from 9h to 19h on january 16th and 17th. As a demonstrator, you will be provided a table, power sockets, one Internet connection and support for one poster of maximum size A0 [90cm (width) x 120 cm (high)]. It is up to you to bring all the necessary equipment you need to best demonstrate your work. Your computer must be configured to retrieve a dynamic IP address through the DCHP protocol. Please note that no static IP address will be provided. For security reasons, all inbound (from the standpoint of your demonstration computer) IP traffic will be filtered out, so your computer can not be reached from the outside network. The outbound traffic will be allowed on any port. Speakers To minimize time in presentations switching, all presentation will be uploaded on a site computer. Please send your presentation (PowerPoint or PDF format) to francoise.hannecart@cec.eu.int before january, 10 2003. | ||
