[Reverse Engineering Computing Brain Human (News Dollar)] Msc Mobile Computing: use of mobile computing devices and its effects on their motivation to learn, engagement in learning activities, and support for learning processes. Data collected from students in four elementary and two seventh grade science classes in Northeast Ohio included usage logs, student work samples, student and teacher interviews, and classroom observations.

[Welcome to Mobius Venture Capital, Inc.] United Devices Unveils HPC Collaboration Center: "With traditional pilots it's impossible for companies to validate the business benefits of collaborative HPC -- because geographical, political, operational and technology challenges make it too difficult to sufficiently test a production implementation," said Ben Rouse, chief executive officer at United Devices. "HPC3 is the only facility of its kind that offers the heterogeneity customers need to replicate their real-world HPC environment in all its complexity, so they can rapidly quantify the benefits of their own collaborative HPC solution."

 [Jroller.com] Grid Computing by Nikita Ivanov : Weblog: Despite ill-fated comparison to academia HPC, Computational Grids can be applicable to businesses of any size - from small size companies to Google and Yahoo of this world. For example, even a relatively small company may have a need to speed up a business report generation from 1 minute to 5 seconds to make it suitable for online access on their website - and in most cases Computational Grids is the only practical approach to achieve 10 times performance improvement.

[Byteandswitch.com] Byte and Switch - Grid Computing - Chinese Gridwork - Storage ...: Designed to support bioinformatics and imaging research, HP's ChinaGrid, however, is notable for its sheer scale. Sure, there are some grid projects underway in the U.S, but ChinaGrid is designed to support 290 million students, almost as many people as the entire U.S population.

 [Ianlumb.wordpress.com] Ian Lumb’s Blog: An increasing affinity for Web Services - Based on the ongoing convergence between Web Services and Grid Computing under the umbrella of the Open Grid Services Architecture (OGSA), but contingent upon a degree of downward percolation, this inference seemed reasonable if only a little vague. In retrospect, I should’ve qualified that this would impact at the infrastructural before the application level - e.g., existing models and simulations written in Fortran aren’t likely to be refactored for Web Services overnight!

 [Gridtech.blogspot.com] gridtech: HPC Analytics at Super Computing 2005: "I expect HPC Analytics to be one of the most exciting initiatives at SC|05", said Bill Kramer, SC|05 General Chair of the conference. "HPC Analytics adds to the significance of SC|05's HPC Computing, Network and Storage efforts, bringing these resources together while adding sophisticated analysis methods to solve some of societies' most challenging problems."
