| The EEF Global Computing Summer School will
be held in Edinburgh, one of the world's most beautiful cities.
Edinburgh has a wealth of both architectural and natural
beauty.
|
|
|
|
|
| The aim of the EEF Global Computing Summer
School is to provide researchers with insights into the problems of
the design and construction of global computing systems. Global
computation is an active field of research which includes
distributed and mobile computation and addresses the foundational
problems in the area such as security, access control, resource
control, discovery, architecture and decentralised organisation.
The fundamental tools used to analyse and build such systems are
type systems, process algebras, modelling languages and
state-of-the-art programming languages and environments. |
