Massively Distributed Computing and Citizen Sciences
The exploitation of volunteer computing resources has become a popular practice in the HEP (High Energy Physics) computing community as the huge amount of potential computing power it provides. ATLAS@home, as a pioneer project in this practice, uses the BOINC middleware to harness thousands of worldwide volunteer computers, has been harvesting a very considerable number of computing resources...

Massively Distributed Computing and Citizen Sciences
Multiple scientific communities are using computationally intensive applications in their research activities. They are largely relying on national and international distributed computing infrastructures, which are mostly based on well-known grid technologies. However, with a progressively wide adoption of the cloud technologies more and more computing power is available in a form of groups of...

Oral Presentation
Taiwan is located at seismically highly active area that geologists called the convergent plate boundary between the Eurasian plate and the Philippine Sea plate. To bring seismology in a simple way to citizens at school and home, we are incorporating the research-based Quake-Catcher Network (QCN) program into an educational seismic network that is maintained by teachers in tens of high schools...
