We are pleased to announce a small informal workshop sponsored by ERDC
as part of PET Program. Please indicate as soon as possible your interest
to mailer at end of announcement.

WORKSHOP ANNOUNCEMENT  "Hand-Held Supercomputing"

Vision:
Personal digital assistants, digital appliances, E-books, wearable
computers, wireless networking, and emerging software infrastructures
represent some of the technologies that are likely to form part of the
everyday interface to a variety of computing environments. The
convergence of these technologies with the Grid - the evolving
information architecture integrating computing, data exploration, large
databases, and remote instrumentation - creates many new opportunities
for ubiquitous access to the nation's high performance computing
infrastructure.  This workshop will bring together people from the HPC
community to exchange information about this future.
