Appendix 2 Cooperations and Supporting Institutions

The Laboratory for Computing, System architecture, and Programming

1. Computational Informatics
We have intensified our international collaborations. Within the framework of a formal agreement between the Universiteit van Amsterdam and the Saint Petersburg State University, Russian Federation, a joint laboratory for computational science was established in Saint Petersburg. This lab works on problem solving environments and applications. We formally collaborate with CYFRONET, Cracow, Poland, through joint Ph.D. students in the field of monitoring and scheduling for scientific computing on the Grid. In the framework of a recently started NATO Science for Peace program we collaborate with institutes of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Science in the field of biomedical diagnostic systems. Finally, a strong research cooperation is established with a number of USA based universities (Stanford University, Mississippi State University).

Through the Virtual Lab project we strongly collaborate with the Computer Architecture and Parallel Systems group. The theoretical work on evolving CA is done in collaboration with the Algorithms and Complexity Theory group of the ILLC.
