Their schedule seems to indicate the new projects will be announced "3/31/06", after the 4th review cycle.
quote:
World Community Grid supports research that is:
* Focused on solving problems to benefit humanity;
* Conducted by public or nonprofit organizations;
* Contributed to the public domain; and
* Accelerated by grid computing technology.
Research projects that benefit from grid technology are those that perform computations that require millions of computer processing units (CPUs) and that can be divided into smaller independent computations. |
They give some examples of the proposals they're looking at:
quote:
* New and existing infectious disease research - development of treatments for HIV/AIDS, Malaria, Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), etc.
* Genomics and disease - functions of proteins that are coded by human genes and how they might relate to cures for common diseases
* Environmental research - meteorology and severe weather warning, pollution, remediation, climate modeling, and others
* Natural disasters and hunger - earthquake warning, information on improving crop yields and livestock production, and evaluation of the supply of critical natural resources such as water |

You would think so. I wonder if they will decide to split the grid to do multiple projects at once. They could start 3 or 4 and give you a choice of which one you want to participate in.

Darn, I thought I could still have some chances to make to the top ranks in this team, but now my ego trip won't be long. Blaspheme! 
So far I'm disappointed with the WCG client interface. Abit too simplistic. Especially that you edit the device profile online.
