  13. Life Science DB Mirroring • Issue identified: various entities in Singapore downloading huge Life Sciences databases from overseas sites over limited bandwidth, resulting in infrequent updatedness. • Solution: To rationalise the overseas download of common databases, provision these databases for local sharing, and failovers.

  15. Auto In-betweening Distributed Computer Assisted Cel Animation • A fully integrated 2D animation production system where many parts of 2D animation production pipeline are automated to free artists from mundane jobs to concentrate on creative tasks. • This project performs distributed cel animation from providing auto in-betweening to auto-coloring & take advantage of a large number of clusters & nodes in a grid to greatly reduce the production time & improve the quality of animation production.
