COST Action 283
-Computational and Information Infrastructure in the Astronomical DataGrid-
Start date : 23rd November 2001
Duration : 4 Years
End date : 22nd November
No. Participating Countries : 9
OBJECTIVES
The objective of the Action is to develop innovative and well focused approaches to data and information handling, in the context of astronomy and astrophysics. This includes processing and interpretation of data and, more generally, information, at the time of data capture or later ("archival research"), and including aspects of the collaborative work and man-machine environments needed for this. To achieve this very broad goal, this Action will address a range of problems on the interface between astronomy and astrophysics, and the computational sciences. Serendipitously this Action will seek to tie together the work of astronomers and computer scientists, to mutual benefit.
