UE researchers explore concept of a grid for Southwest Indiana
Researchers at the University of Evansville are trying to find out if Evansville area businesses and institutions are interested in participating in a computer grid that could be used to help solve extra-large computational problems.
The Institute for Global Enterprise at the university is in the early stages of exploring the concept of a grid, said Kristina Setzekorn, assistant professor of management information systems, director of the Global Assistance Program.
Setzekorn said if there is interest, the university may use student groups to study the proposal further and see how it could be organized and work in Southwestern Indiana.
The establishment of a grid in Southwest Indiana could be used to attract high-technology development to this area, Setzekorn said.
