In a survey of the economies in the U.S., France, > Germany, Ireland, Italy, Spain, and the U.K., the report found that 5.8 > million U.S. jobs will be directly attributable to the Internet by 2002, > and in Europe the number is 3 million. When Internet-related jobs in other > industries are factored into the forecast, the total number comes to 10 > million. "The good news is that the Internet is creating more jobs than it > is destroying, even when you look at traditional business models," says an > Andersen partner. The bad news is that hiring on both sides of the Atlantic > is stymied by a lack of suitably skilled workers, posing the single > greatest obstacle to future growth.

These grids allow users who have access to customer owned dark > fiber or optical networks like CA*net 3 to undertake data collection and > distributed computing which in turn will allow researchers, students and > sometimes the broader public to participate in the acquisition and analysis > of information. Invited speakers will talk about high-performance > applications currently in use on research and education networks and > application grids that are currently being planned or deployed for seismic, > undersea, high energy, high performance and ecological applications. > Application grids such as these might well point the way towards a new mode > of science and education, one that is built on a much more distributed, > network-enabled process of data collection and analysis, and a much more > tightly coupled process of problem solving among researchers and educators. > > The following is a list of confirmed speakers and topics: > > Guy Almes - Vice-President Network Development, Advanced Network & Services, > Inc. is dedicated to advancing education and science through the promotion, > use, and diffusion of networking technology. > http://advanced.org/ > > Charlie Catlett - Sr. Program Coordinator/Manager, Mathematics and Computer > Science Division at the Argonne National Laboratory will review the work of > the Grid Forum. > http://www-fp.mcs.anl.gov/division/welcome/default.asp > > Andrew R.
