The Scientific and Engineering Computing Group (SECG) of C-DAC organized a series of one-day workshops in the areas of Computational Atmospheric Sciences, Computational Fluid Dynamics and Seismic Data Processing during March 5-7, 2002.

Participants from Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre, Thiruvananthapuram, Oil and Natural Gas Corporation, Dehra Dun, Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay, Central Water and Power Resource Station, Pune, University of Pune and Indian Institute of Tropical Metrology, Pune attended the workshop. Dr. J. Venkatratnam, Mr. Chetan Kumar and Dr. Y. Sudhakar, were the workshop coordinators.

C-DAC collaborates with several research organizations and industries to develop software using the PARAM series of computing systems, in order to augment the capabilities of research scientists to tackle issues of national importance.

The Institute of Computer Aided Design (ICAD), Moscow is one of the active users of PARAM system.

The workshops were held to review the progress of the research activities initiated on the, PARAM 10000, which was installed at the Russian Indian Centre for Advanced Computing Research (RICCR), Moscow in May 2000. The project sponsored by the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS) and Department of Science and Technology (DST), Government of India involves exchange visits of the scientists between Russia and India. Conforming to this arrangement a Russian team of five scientist's lead by Dr. Yu. D. Shevelev and including Dr. V.L. Sakharao, Dr. V.G. Gromov, Dr. V.N. Glukhov and Dr. M.N. Antonenko visited C-DAC during February 25 - March 09, 2002 to exchange information on the progress of the project.

The software developed by the Russian team with C-DAC scientists was also demonstrated on PARAM 10000 at National PARAM Super Computing Facility (NPSF), Pune.
