The today  started with fog in the hill of ICTP, there is cold weather

first lecture was conducted by E.Canessa, the only one and creative 
programmer of ICTP. In his brief lecture on "VIRTUAL LABORATORY STRATEGIES 
FOR DATA SHARING, COMMUNICATIONS AND DEVELOPMENT" he focused on virtual 
laboratories(VL)which are projects that involve research collaboration 
carried out at a distance,the performance of remote(or 
distributed)computing and the sharing of data between groups of 
scientists,each of whom remains in their home institutions. He overviewed 
and defined the VL approach to promote research and education in developing 
countries, to help reducing the technology gap of the digital divide and 
discussed the software tools for datasharing and e-collaboration specially 
in the presence of low band width countries. He emphasized that The 
administration of virtual laboratories should be simplified so that they 
can be run by scientists for the scientists in their own countries for the 
great cuase of dissemination and management of knowledge which are 
essential for scientific enterprise and sustainable development!
