EDUCAUSE Center for Applied Research (ECAR) publishes ARC case
study
A Collaborative IT Support Model for Research at Georgetown
University: This case study, authored by Donald
Spicer and Judith Pirani depicts the
formation, characteristics, and organizational success factors
of Georgetown University's Advanced Research Computing
(ARC) division. In collaboration with university researchers,
ARC provides a range of services from computational support
to multi-layered, multi-institutional support for research.
A companion to ECAR's 2006 research study, IT Engagement
in Research: A Baseline Study, this case study describes
how Georgetown created a unique, collaborative, shared-cost
IT division specifically for university researchers that now
provides a secure environment for computational equipment and
increases Georgetown's grant and fundraising competitiveness.

(Note. Due to brevity, the above article omits
the essential role that the Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer
Center -especially Dr. Robert Clarke - plays in the caBIG
contract. ARC is part of the LCCC caBIG team in the architecture
workspace.)
- ARC launches GridsWatch
- an academic portal to track, update, and summarize public
information about grid and grid-related (HPC) projects worldwide.
We are actively seeking partners and sponsors for GridsWatch.
