HIP-TEK website


The Helsinki Institute of Physics (HIP) is the national research institute for theoretical and experimental particle physics in Finland. The Institute has offices and laboratories at three locations in Finland (Espoo, Helsinki and Jyväskylä) and at CERN, Geneva. The institute has established a distinct Technology Programme (HIP-TEK) to leverage the basic research done at CERN, and transfer such knowledge back to Finnish industry. Currently, the Technology Programme has committed itself fully on the global Grid initiative. The group has participated EU FP 5 and 6 in CERN-led Grid projects, namely EU-DataGrid, EU-EGEE, and EU-EGEE II. In EGEE security team UH-HIP researchers are defining the EGEE security architecture and influencing the European Grid Policy Management (EUGridPMA) efforts, which have established a common pan-european trust-fabric for research Grids in Europe.

For the year 2008, the Technology Programme has three focus areas Grid middleware, Grid applications, Cluster Computing, and Industrial collaboration.

NetGate-2 results published
2/7/08 - NetGate-2 was a one-year industrial research project finished in October 2007. It continued the work done in an earlier NetGate project. The coordinator of the project was HIP Technology Programme and the other research partners were the Technology Business Research Center of the Lappeenranta University of Technology and the University of Tampere. The project was financed by the Finnish National Technology Agency (Tekes) and the participating six companies. The project exploited national and international research on Grid technologies and transfered this knowledge to Finnish industry. The project had three focus areas: Security, Terminal Grid computing, and Grid business research.
