What about projects like Fight Malaria @ Home (www.fight-malaria.org) or Docking @ home (project of a university)? You are already running with Boinc and I think that it would be suitable candidates for WCG. we had this project: https://secure.worldcommunitygrid.org/research/gfam/overview.do but u can suggest those UNI to send a proposal here: https://secure.worldcommunitygrid.org/research/viewSubmitAProposal.do  |

Docking@home is over.
----------------------------------------The malaria project is more than just malaria now, it is available here http://findah.ucd.ie and known as FightNeglectedDiseases@home. If they want WCG support, then they should submit a proposal. AMD Ryzen 5 1600AF 6C/12T 3.2 GHz - 85W AMD Ryzen 5 2500U 4C/8T 2.0 GHz - 28W AMD Ryzen 7 7730U 8C/16T 3.0 GHz |

Sorry guys ,
----------------------------------------i have the two projects from a list Boinc and thought it is currently. @ Falconet: The project would also good.The only question is whether and how WCG could participate (if it would be feasible)  AMD 3900X - 21 Threads @ 4,00 GHz - 24/7 Samsung Xcover4 - 4 Threads @ 1.43 Ghz - 24/7 [Edit 2 times, last edit by Still Alive at Jul 5, 2015 9:12:03 PM] |

No harm in trying, and if its possible they could submit a proposal.  |

I would take a survey. One thing important to me is Epilepsy but I see no distributed computing projects for it. I'm not a scientist or a researcher so I can't submit an official application to WCG, but it is one thing I would love to see getting researched.

You need a target area and define it and crystallize it, so you can make a 3D model of this, before you can let mass distributed computing loose on a disease... a string of genes, something. If there are researchers out there that have this, contact them and explain what WCG can do to find compounds that fit [in simulation]. The proposal forms to complete are ready to be fetched from the website.

Before we issue a survey, I think we should call a meeting.

Hello everyone,
I would like to point out that a survey can have a risk: The risk that people vote in favour of a project on a certain disease, and afterwords WCG will not be able to find scientists having a project for this very disease. The result might be frustration of particpiants of the survey. Just my opinion. All the best MS |

Unless WCG has changed the why it works, a survey would be useless. WCG doesn't (I repeat, "does not" ) define what it wants works on. Scientists and researchers from investigation centers and universities around the world come to WCG with proposed projects for WCG to work on. Now, I imagine that WCG investigates and votes on the received proposals and decides if it proper for WCG to work on it or not. But in a nutshell, WCG doesn't get it pick what projects to work: the projects come to WCG, not the other way around.

So we need people on other areas...& inform them about other projects... not asking them about new science on WCG, which MIGHT NOT happen! ;) |
