Grid computing is recognized as one of the top ten emerging technologies that will have a major impact on the quality of science and society over the next 20 years. Under the flagship project Gridbus, students of Grid Computing and Distributed Systems (GRIDS) Lab at the University of Melbourne are actively engaged in developing next-generation grid technologies that power e-science and e-business applications. Many of these technologies have earned international recognition, both in industry and academia.
The Dreamlarge award-winning Knowledge Transfer (KT) project, entitled, "Knowledge Transfer of Next-Generation Grid Technologies to Empower Emerging Economies", shares GRIDS Lab and Gridbus research and innovations with leading institutions of South-East Asian countries, such as India and Bangladesh, with the following objectives:
|
An interactive knowledge transfer process with international communities through research forums such as workshops, seminars and conferences.
Involvement and use of recent technologies, such as a specialized KT Website, coupled with videos and online streaming.
Preparation and distribution of KT Kits to the partners and active student participants.
Publication of KT Experiences through magazines and newsletters.
Sharing research-based knowledge in Grid computing with emerging economies such as India and Bangladesh.
Bridging technology gaps and building strong research and education linkages.
Positioning the University of Melbourne as a Leading Destination for research and teaching, and as the Knowledge Transfer Leader in a global scale.
Alignment with the university’s ‘growing esteem’ vision of two-way knowledge transfers, since it exhibits mutual benefits for the students and partnering organizations.
A potential benchmark for future KT activities, since it could initiate student exchange and research collaboration between the university and partner organizations.
Direct relation to the university’s teaching, learning and research agenda, since showcasing of this project would enable valuable feedback from the international communities.
It is highly achievable since it is supervised by KT award winning Mentor, who assured to provide full support.
KT Experiences will reach out to the communities through the KT Website, online streaming, videos and publications in the UniNews, GradFlash, UMPAnews and Engineering Newsletters.
Preparation of promotion materials such as a KT Website, videos, and kits (Sept. – Nov. 2008).
KT workshop organization, knowledge sharing and research demonstrations at international institutions such as Anna University, IIT Madras, Satyam, C-DAC, InfoSys, Bangalore University in India; and BUET, Dhaka University, KUET in Bangladesh (Dec. 2008 – Jan. 2009).
Commercialization and patenting substantial technologies developed by project members (Feb. – May 2009).
Publishing knowledge transfer experiences (Jun. – Aug. 2009).
