Grid Expertise and Volunteers to Assist in<br>
Establishing Emergency Response Network to Combat SARS in
Taiwan<br><br>
</b></font>Given the rapid spread of SARS (severe acute respiratory
syndrome),<br>
researchers at the National Center for High-Performance Computing
(NCHC)<br>
are working with the Department of Health of Taiwan, the World
Health<br>
Organization (WHO) of the United Nations, and the Center for
Disease<br>
Control (CDC) of the United States to install access grid technology
in<br>
three hospitals in the north of Taiwan.<br><br>
Our PRAGMA Partners at NCHC
(<a href="http://www.nchc.gov.tw/" eudora="autourl">http://www.nchc.gov.tw/</a>)
are requesting assistance from the world grid community for volunteers
with expertise in access grid technology to provide additional technical
advice as and when needed. <b>An immediate need</b> is for expertise in
establishing an access grid server in Taiwan. The need is immediate, as
first steps need to be in place <b>by 20 May 2003</b>.<br><br>
