• Some ideas for small projects that we might seek funding for in the next 6 months that I thought of:
  • Looking forward to the 2011 UK Census of Population. A feasibility study for psuedoannonymisation of name and address information such that health and other records can be linked with census records in a safe way.
  • Parallelising and extending Grids to use SRB and enhancing terrain processing capabilities.
  • Developing a service for creating and distributing Individual and Household Synthetic Population data for the UK
    • Integrating Census data with other data and providing annual forecasts.
  • UKBorders Cartograms
  • SimCity for Real
  • Grid enabling GAM on the NGS
  • Investigating security implications of using computational resources on different grids to analyse confidential data.
• Funding Opportunities and Priorities
  • JISC Capital Programme Call in April
• Stuart still not managed to set up a web page for this working group. He is working on it, but is having problems with the style council.
• Chris talked around the same slides he presented at the JISC First Joint Meeting of the GEMS/GEESE/GRID OGC Collision/NCeSS eInfrastructure Projects 2006-10-10 Blog entry
  • I should check out the GDAS GeoLinking OGC stuff re: OGSA-DAI bridge for MoSeS to link GEMS and GEESE.
