RESEARCH & ART COMPETITION AND EXHIBITION 2nd INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON RESEARCH INFRASTRUCTURES (ICRI 2014) ATHENS 2-4 APRIL 2014Art has long been interested in research and science: from Renaissance art and Leonardo da Vinci with his studies of physics, to 20th century art with Surrealists drawing on Freud and the subconscious, to the contemporary American James Turrell working with the optical illusions of light and the young Chinese WU Juehui dealing with the visual aspects of neuroscience, artists have been fascinated by research and science and have been deeply influenced in the course of their work. However, the creative approach of art by scientists and researchers could prove highly interesting as well.

TransForm: Theoretical Foundations of Transactional MemoryThe research project TransForm, where the Institute of Computer Science of the Foundation for Ressearch and Technology – Hellas (FORTH) acted as the coordinator, has recently been completed. TransForm was a project funded by the European Commission in the context of the Marie Curie Initial Training Network Action. The project contributed significantly to building the theoretical underpinning for the design and analysis of Transactional Memory (TM) systems.
