IECnet

Part of the DTI-funded Technology Programme, IECnet is a collaborative project involving Intellect and the National e-Science Centre in Edinburgh. Its mission is to secure UK commercial leadership in the provision and exploitation of Inter-Enterprise Computing (IEC). The project is aimed specifically at exploiting the benefits of grid computing technologies in selected UK public and private sectors through the establishment of a Knowledge Transfer Network (KTN).

The key activities of the IECnet project are driven by its 4 major objectives:

  • establish a wide understanding of the potential of IEC particularly among the IT user community
  • accelerate the recognition of requirements and issues for IEC
  • prepare the UK technology industry, users and Government for IEC
  • follow through the e-Science Core Programme vision in which demanding scientific research stimulates significant advances in grid technology which are then transferred to UK industry, healthcare and Government

IECnet will engage with all organisations that could exploit grid technologies for their business.
