University of Budapest, Institute for Theoretical Physics Department
of Lorand Eötvös Nominated by Craig Barrett of Intel for 2003
Computerworld Honors Collection

Case Study will be archived in 30 countries as leading example of how
IT is used in Science to benefit society

San Francisco, CA April 6, 2003 --- University of Budapest, Institute
for Theoretical Physics Department of Lorand Eötvös has submitted a
case study on augmentative theoretical physics research into the
origin of the Universe (the Big Bang theory), which will officially
become part of the Computerworld Honors Collection Sunday, April 6th
in San Francisco City Hall when the 2003 Collection is formally
presented to the Global Archives, and University of Budapest,
Institute for Theoretical Physics Department of Lorand Eötvös is
presented with the Medal of Achievement.

"The Computerworld Honors Medal of Achievement is presented annually
to men and women around the world who have made outstanding progress
for society through the visionary use of information technology," said
Patrick J. McGovern, Chairman of the Computerworld Honors Chairmen's
Committee and the founder of International Data Group.

Craig Barrett, CEO of Intel and member of The Chairmen's Committee,
nominated University of Budapest, Institute for Theoretical Physics
Department of Lorand Eötvös for inclusion in the 2003 Science
category. Their case study now becomes part of a collection of over
300 case studies in ten categories from 33 countries.

The 2003 Collection, which will now be archived in libraries, museums
and academic and research institutions around the world, will serve as
primary source material for scholars and as a resource for individuals
who hope to use information technology to build solutions that benefit
society.

"The Class of 2003 continues an outstanding tradition of IT innovation
in which service to real people doing important work in the real world
takes precedence over anything else," according to Executive Director
Daniel Morrow. "These Laureates are a source of pride and inspiration."

The overview of this case study reads:

A supercomputer built from a cluster of personal computers supports
the world's only project to compute the origins of the universe in
four dimensions, to explain why, in the beginning, there was slightly
more matter than anti-matter.

"Each year, Computerworld Honors identifies and recognizes individuals
around the world whose visionary use of information technology
produces and promotes positive social, economic and educational
change," said Bob Carrigan, President and Publisher of Computerworld.
"The innovators represented in this Collection have been recognized by
the leading IT industry Chairmen as true revolutionaries in their
fields."

Case studies from the 2003 Computerworld Honors Collection will be
available at http://www.cwheroes.org, the official internet site of
the Computerworld Honors Program, where the entire Collection is
available to scholars, researchers and the general public worldwide.
In addition, the Collection is distributed annually to the Honors
Program's Archival Partners around the world. These partners include
some of the world's finest research and scholarly institutions, each
of which has generously agreed to include the Collection in its
archives.

Each year, the Computerworld Honors Chairmen's Committee nominates
organizations who are using information technology to improve society
for inclusion in the Computerworld Honors Online Archive and the
Collections of the Global Archives. The Global Archives represents the
100 plus institutions from more than thirty countries that include the
Computerworld Honors Collection in their archives and libraries.
Founded in 1988/89, the Computerworld Honors Program searches for and
recognizes individuals who have demonstrated vision and leadership as
they strive to use information technology in innovative ways across
ten categories: Business and Related Services; Education and Academia;
Environment, Energy and Agriculture; Finance, Insurance and Real
Estate; Government and Non-Profit Organizations; Manufacturing; Media,
Arts and Entertainment; Medicine; Science; and Transportation.
