An algebra tutorial designed by a San Diego high school student and a mathematical game created by a 4th grade math teacher in San Diego were among five projects assisted or developed by the Educational Technology Laboratory at the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) that won awards at the 11th annual "SIGKids" competition. The recognition was made as part of SIGGRAPH, the annual national graphics convention, which was held July 27-31 at the San Diego Convention Center and attended by about 25,000 registrants. The juried SIGKids competition was designed to recognize computer visualization projects that promote the development of multisensory interactions, multilingual formats, lifetime learning, and interdisciplinary approaches.

SDSC's Director of Visualization Mike Bailey will be a busy man at this year's SIGGRAPH computer graphics convention. As he has done in previous years, Bailey will teach the day-long "Introduction to Computer Graphics" course, which is one of the most popular attractions of the conference. Bailey also will be one of four computer visualization experts to teach a second, half-day course, "3D Hardcopy: Converting Virtual Reality to Physical Models."

This week's official release of the Globus Toolkit, 3.0 (GT3) is a milestone in the evolution of Grid computing, which lets people share computing power, databases, and other tools securely online across corporate, institutional, and geographic boundaries without sacrificing local autonomy. GT3 is the first full-scale implementation of Grid software compliant with the Open Grid Services Infrastructure (OGSI) version 1.0, a new specification that the Globus Project played a key role in defining.

For the past several years, the HPWREN team has been collaborating with the San Diego County Sheriff's Department. Initially, the Sheriff's Department provided the HPWREN team access to several of their remote communications sites throughout the county, which greatly helped with the buildout of the HPWREN backbone network.

Judges recently named the two winners of the 2003 Computational Science Olympics, with the two top student entries from San Diego State University (SDSU) focused on a frighteningly topical subject matter: bioterrorism. One of the two student groups that tied for first place simulated the spread of anthrax through a 100-story building. The other group investigated the effectiveness of smallpox inoculation programs against a bioterror attack on a population of 100,000 people, a small city approximately the size of Bismarck, North Dakota.
