The 6th BOINC Workshop

A workshop on volunteer computing and BOINC will be held 31 Aug - 1 Sept 2010, at ​King's College London, Strand Campus.

The objective of this workshop is to share information about BOINC and projects using it, through short presentations and informal discussions, in a relaxed, open and friendly atmosphere. The workshop aims to stimulate new developments and activities related to volunteer computing, by allowing participants to share their experience and requirements, giving developers the opportunity to outline their plans, and stimulating new collaborations between participants.

The workshop is being held in conjunction with a Citizen Cyberscience Summit conference, to be held in the same location on 2-3 Sept (announcement forthcoming). BOINC workshop attendees are encouraged to attend the CC Summit as well.
