Information - Communication System


Geohazards: landslips - the prospective concept


Central Asian Distributed Computing
Infrastructure proposal to EC
!   The project will support the establishment of National Grid
Initiatives in the Central Asian region . This project will support
the creation of new Desktop Grids in Central Asian countries
and the connection of these Grids to European DCIs.

!   Application areas primarily targeted by the project:
1.  Seismology;
2.  Weather research and forecast
3.  Water risk mitigation
