secure data storage on the web. Application scenarios
include service oriented architectures; secure databases,
mobile and/or fragmented data. We aim to evolve these
schemes in unconventional ways to enable adaptability to
changes in the state of the data or the system.
2011 highlights include:
The South African Square Kilometre Array Project:
The MeerKAT High Performance Computing (HPC) for
Radio Astronomy Research Programme awarded a local
Computer Science-Astronomy collaboration [comprising
Dr Sarah Blyth (UCT Astronomy), James Gain, Michelle
Kuttel, Patrick Marais (principal investigator), Kurt van
der Heyden (UCT Astronomy) and Catherine Cress
(UWC Astronomy)] R3,200,000 for the period 2011-
2014 for a project on Developing Efficient Software for
Large-Scale Radio Interferometry. There are currently 3
MSc students and 1 PhD student in Computer Science
working on the project.
