DEVOXX 2008

Thu, 22 Jan 2009 07:13:00 GMT

Ok, I know: I should have written this post more than a month ago. But I’ve been very busy lately and I have to process my backlog of work, including new updates to this website. After all, they say “better late than never”...
So, here we go: the 2008 edition of the Devoxx conference (formely JavaPolis: by the way, why the heck did Sun have this name changed?) was held (as usual) in Antwerp, Belgium, from December 10th to 12th, after the two-day Devoxx University.
This was my second time at Devoxx, after 2006 when I had managed to take part as a speaker (having held a BoF together with my ol’ pal Fabrizio Giudici ).

Just back from JavaPolis

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

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.
