In order to have a state-of-the-art view of the romanian blogosphere, Carmen Holotescu is leading a very interesting research: RoBloggers Survey. You can find the details on her weblog: http://www.timsoft.ro/weblog/index.php

Good luck! 

Here I am among the finalists of "Tesla - Neverending Story" Conference.

My work was entitled "Some aspects of grid systems' dependability and security" and I took the third price. I am glad.

Now my mission is complete!

I am an engineer. I took 10 points (out of 10) to the diploma project exam. Am I better? No, it's the same me...

I am during the diploma project exam...Waiting for the teachers to view my programm....

 

I guess it's almost one week since thespoke is not working properly. My other blog (the first in which I wrote):

My diploma project is done. In the next few days - reviewing and PPT presentation! I can not believe it... 5 years are no more :|

I will be an engineer - so what? :) 

 

I forgot and I wish I wont remember: I didn't obtain an entire scholarship for Master. From Nuffic, nothing. This means that I wont leave after all.

Getting Computer Grids to Talk to Each Other
IST Results (06/08/06)

While grid computing has been one of the most significant developments in the computer industry, its success has led to the creation of numerous systems hamstrung by their inability to communicate with each other. The IST-funded UniGrids project set out to develop an interoperability layer to overcome that incompatibility, a problem exacerbated by the varying strengths of operating systems such as Globus and UNICORE. The UniGrids Atomic Services interoperability function allows multiple grid systems to exchange data and facilitates the creation of new grid applications independent of the core grid infrastructure. The UniGrids project also built out the UNICORE system, making it compatible with the Open Grid Services Architecture standards. The UniGrids developers also coordinated with the Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards, the Global Grid Forum, and other major standards organizations to help develop the emerging standards for grid systems. To capitalize on the economic potential of grid computing, the project is also developing brokering software to allow commercial groups to rent vast computing resources when necessary. The scientific community will be the principal beneficiary of the project, though. "Scientists have told us that our work now allows them to do things they couldn't do before. Where before they might be able to study the genes of a fruit fly, now they can do genetic studies on humans," said Daniel Mallmann, coordinator of the UniGrids project.

Blogs can lead to conflict in the workplace: few businesses warm to the 
idea f a public discussion about what goes on inside their offices. But more and
more, young people unfamiliar with the mores of the corporate world and
raised with instant messaging and personal web pages are blogging about
their experiences at work. And the most publicized cases, where 
employees ere fired because of the content of their blogs, haven't served asdeterrents. 

(In fact, several people shown the door have received lucrative ook or movie deals!) 

Only now are companies starting to address blogging intheir corporate policies. Read on at:
