15-6-97China as a potential HPCN market for
Europe

An EU-China HPCN Initiative has been launched last year managed by the
the European Research Consortium for Informatics and Mathematics
(ERCIM). The initiative is sponsored and funded by the European
Commission, the Chinese government and private companies from Europe
and China. It has been set-up to foster business and trade between
China and Europe in this high technology sector. It is an industrial
activity rather than research and according to the organisers over 60
companies expressed interest including many SMEs.

information technologies and SME's

During the last HPCN Europe in Vienna I had a chance to comment briefly
on the fact that SME's , one of the major focus of the EC programs
aimed at integrating advanced Information Technologies into the "
real world " , were almost absent from the conference and
exhibition (See our PrimeurLive! issue). I also attempted to identify
the causes of such absence or moderate participation, and would like,
in this article, to add a few thoughts on the subject. It seems to me
that, first of all, the Academic Structure could certainly play a
substantial role in favouring the "awareness " and
stimulating the creativity of future SME managers: such developments
could be the subject of a 'graduation thesis', and the young graduates
could almost immediately bring into the " real world " of
their industrial and commercial activity the outcome of their applied
or product research. On the contrary, it seems to me that there is not
yet a common language between Academia and the world of Small and
Medium Enterprises

13-6-97 Parallelism
improves glass manufacturing competitiveness

Glasspar is a project developed at the University of Cantabria with a
double objective. On the one hand, the project looks for a physical
model that describes a specific process of glass fabrication on an
industrial scale and, on the other, it intends to implement the model
in a parallel platform to allow modelling of different production
prototypes. Parallelism is a good and cheap option for glass
manufacturers that need large amounts of calculation. The project has a
clear industrial benefit, as it is aimed to increase enterprises'
capacity of design and product quality and thus enhance
competitiveness.
