Science as Voyage: Ian Foster at TEDxCERN

Ian Foster's research for high performance distributed and parallel computing has many call him 'father of grid computing'. Ian will take us on a journey of Big Process for Big Data, with a call to action for the kind of collaborative processes we need.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
