Overview
Microsoft Research hosted a two-day e-science workshop on Thursday, October 6, 2005 and Friday, October 7, 2005 in Redmond, Washington. This workshop was a follow-on workshop to the successful SciData 2004 Workshop.
The eScience Workshop provided a unique opportunity to learn and affect what is happening in the realm of data intensive scientific computing within Microsoft. Attendees learned first hand from early adopters using Microsoft Windows, Microsoft .NET, Microsoft SQL Server, and Web services in these problem spaces, as well as explored in-depth how modern database technologies and techniques are being applied to scientific computing. By providing a forum for scientists and researchers to share their experiences and expertise with the wider academic and research communities, this workshop fostered collaboration, facilitated the sharing of software components and techniques, and established a vision for Microsoft Windows and .NET in data intensive scientific computing.
