- Introduction
Computational Science is a tool for discovery in the XXI century. Their successful application has proved to be a key element for science and technology in different arenas. Costa Rica has been deploying a cyberinfrastructure effort designated to help local scientists and technology experts place their work in the current international state of research. This workshop, Computational Science in Engineering: Bio-informatics and Nanotechnology, aims at giving the people theoretical and practical resources for improving the quality of their work and access high level computing resources as those provided by TeraGrid. In general, the workshop will consist of a core set of lectures and hands-on sessions in computational science and domain-dependent activities that will frame the resources within specific research areas.
Bio-informatics and Nanotechnology have been chosen as the main tracks of the workshop due to their pertinence to (a) the local development of science and technology, (b) existing collaborations with institutions in the US and Europe in both areas, (c) existence of local data and scientific resources and (d) compliance with a national strategy for the advancement of Science and Technology, namely, the XXI Century Strategy.
