BEinGRID at VordelWorld 2009

BEinGRID will be represented at VordelWorld 2009, in Dublin, on November 4-6, 2009.
David Brossard, Senior Researcher, Security Futures Practice, BT Innovate & Design, will be presenting a case study based on the security cluster and Business Experiment in Enhanced IMRT planning using Grid services on-demand with SLAS (BEinEIMRT).

Case Study:
Using Grid Computing and the Cloud to deliver Critical Health Care Services for Radio Therapy analysis

Speaker:
David Brossard, Senior Researcher, Security Futures Practice, BT Innovate & Design

Abstract:
David will illustrate how secure access to computer resources has been achieved by innovating on top of products form Vordel and Axiomatics. He will use the RadioptherapyGrid pilot as an example. RadiotherapyGrid is a solution that enables a group of hospitals to securely access in-Cloud services for radiotherapy processing that utilise Grid Computing technology in order to plan the best possible radio therapy treatment for cancer patients. This service offers two core functions: verification of plans using accurate, but computationally expensive, techniques and searching for the optimal treatments. These tools improve the efficiency and effectiveness of planned treatments as well as reducing the overall cost of treatment planning.RadioptherapyGrid is on of the 25 business pilots delivered by the BEinGRID project, which cover most sectors of the European market Financial Services and Media to eHealth and eScience, and include all key stakeholders in their respective value chains.BEinGRID is the largest collaborative research investment on ICT for business funded by the European Commission to date. It delivers business studies in commercial applications of Grid and Cloud Computing and technical innovation in the areas ranging from Identity and Access Management to Data Management and Virtual Hosting.
