Welcome to the Early Adopters page! In this page you will find information, material and events related to the community that are the first to use the LarKC results!
Stay tuned! The first alpha release of LarKC was made available to the general public in May 2009. On top of this, early adopters will have access to examples and training material.
For more information about the resources available to would-be users and developers of LarKC components, see the community page on this website.
Who are Early Adopters?
The objective of the Early Adopters is to create a community that will get early access to project infrastructure and will be invited to experiment with plug-ins on the collider platform. This will both verify the generality of the plug-in interfaces and encourage take-up of the project results.
The more this community grows the greater the opportunity for results to be reused in other initiatives. Early adopters are important to us: they will provide a fundamental role in providing feedback about our work and drive our next research direction.
To foster the creation of the early adopters community, we plan to organize several tutorials and workshops during the project with the aim of showing results to interested researchers and giving them the chance to get in direct contact with LarKC technology and the key developers behind it.
The first tutorial was held this year in Crete at ESWC 2009. Following tutorials are planned for ISWC 2009.

1st Early Adopters Tutorial
The first early adopters tutorial was held in conjunction with ESWC 2009 in Crete, Greece on the 1st of June 2009. This was the first opportunity for the research community to get their hands on LarKC results and the event was well attended.
2nd Early Adopters Tutorial
The second early adopters tutorial was held in conjunction with ISWC 2009 in Washington DC, USA on the 25th of October 2009. This tutorial enabled participants from the US to the get access to early research results and technologies from the LarKC project.
3rd Early Adopters Tutorial
The third early adopters tutorial will be held in conjunction with ESWC 2010 in Crete, Greece on the 30th of May 2010. This tutorial will enable participants to the get access to early research results and technologies from the LarKC project.
