This prestigious award was made to CERN for its innovative application of information technology to the benefit of society, and it followed the laboratory's nomination by Lawrence Ellison, chairman an...
I don’t remember exactly who first proposed running physics batch jobs on a UNIX workstation, rather than on the big IBM or Cray mainframes that were doing that kind of production work in 1989 a...
That the World Wide Web - invented at CERN - has revolutionized the world of business is clear. Less well known is the lab's continuing role in transferring Web-based technology to industry. Finnish ...
Faced with the difficulty of doing exact calculations, theorists are turning to approximation techniques to understand and predict what happens at the quark level.
Personal computers are steadily making inroads into some specialist and very impersonal fields.
Advances in physics go hand in hand with those in experimental techniques, and increasingly so with progress in computing and analysis. A recent workshop at Fermilab surveyed this fast-developing ar...
Plans for the next generation of network-based information-handling systems took a major step forward when the European Union's Fifth Framework Information Society Technologies programme concluded ne...
