Just back from JavaPolis
A brief report
I'm just back home from JavaPolis (Antwerp, Belgium), where I held my BOF on parallel computing and image processing with my pal Fabrizio Giudici. I must say I was very surprised at the high level of this conference; it's by far the best such event I've ever taken part in, at least as compared to the local (Italian) conferences, and except for JavaOne (but I can't really comment on that since I've never been there).
See full report for further details!

Bound for JavaPolis
A journey to the European Java Conference
On the 13th of december, Fabrizio Giudici and I will be giving a short talk (as a BOF session) on a Java-based parallel computing project of ours. This very application describes an application of parallel computing to image processing, with a view also to astronomy-oriented tasks.
You can find the full description of our BOF session at this link.
