Over the past few years, members of the Software Engineering group at Oxford have been involved in a number of e-Science projects. In particular, they have been leading the development of distributed infrastructures to support large-scale research. Examples of such projects include climateprediction.net, CancerGrid, Integrative Biology, and e-DiaMoND.

The talk will first provide an overview of the activities of the Software Engineering group before describing the DTI-funded project GIMI The primary focus of GIMI is the development of dynamic authorisation techniques for the facilitation of secure aggregation of medical data from disparate sources.

This is a British Computer Society event, but Compsoc members are welcome. More information on the event's web page.
