Let us know your feedback asap. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Title: Hand-Held Supercomputing: eSCape 2000 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 commonplace 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 including ubiquitous access to the nation's high performance computing infrastructure. SC2000 will host a technology demonstration eSCape 2000 to explore this vision of computing and information access anticipated in the 21st century. This workshop will bring together people from the HPC community to exchange information about this future and in particular to arrange and coordinate eSCape 2000 efforts. Date: Wed-Thur, July 12-13, 2000 (provisional - we need to check about possible conflicts) Place: SCRI conference room, FSU campus, Tallahassee, FL Times: Wed 9 AM - 5 PM, Thur 9 AM - 3 PM (allows for flights home that evening) Wednesday evening: a catered dinner at SCRI, followed by a panel discussion of burning issues advertise to DOD, PACI, DOE, industry(somehow), and SC2000 communities Deadlines: paper submissions May 1 paper acceptances May 15 program announcement June 1 program would be approx 18 submitted talks (30 min) and 4 invited talks (45 min) we will establish at SCRI a conference email address Conference Organizing Committee: Fox, Duke, West, Jones Conference Program Committee: Fox, Duke, Turcotte, Wallach, Dan Reed, 2-3 others Industry participation: Palm, SUN, Nokia (via Wallach), IBM, Lucent, Cisco (via SCInet) need to coordinate (to some degree) with SCInet 2000 Budget: $10,000 to support food, etc for all attendees - we assume 50 (assuming no conference fees) $ 8,000 to support four invited speakers - -------------------- Total $18,000 Remaining open questions: 1. Tutorial(s) on Tues Jul 11 ? (Might generate too much interest!) 2. Technology demos on Wed night or during one or both afternoons? ------- End of Forwarded Message
