 "CALL CLOSED - INFO ARCHIVAL"

------------    ------------

Overview

The SC Conference <www.supercomp.org> is the premiere technical and industrial meeting for high-end networking and computing and computational science. At the SC’2001 conference, to be held in Denver, November 10-16, 2001, we will create the first truly global technical conference on the Grid; a multi-national and multi-cultural meeting place for communication and discussion of ideas relating to high-end computing and communications and its impacts on science and society.

The SC Global event will use Access Grid technology <www.accessgrid.org> to link the SC Core at the Denver Convention Center with dozens of SC Constellation Sites distributed both across the U.S. and worldwide. We encourage SC Constellation sites to develop unique local programs that combine SC Global with local material.

We encourage SC Constellation sites to develop local programs and workshops of interest to the HPC Community, which will be able to be tied into the SC01 Program. Program ideas relating to SC Global should be submitted via the Call for Content.  Please check http//www.sc2001.org for details and deadlines.

ParticipatingParticipating
Once you have reviewed the ‘Becoming a SC Global Constellation Site’ document and have determined that you will be able to dedicate your time and efforts to participating, here's how to go about responding to the call for participation

· By January 12th, send e-mail to planners@mcs.anl.gov indicating your interest in participating and let us know if you will be attending the Access Grid Retreat and/or Access Grid Tutorial <http//www.mcs.anl.gov/fl/accessgrid/ag-retreat-2001/ag-retreat-2001.htm>

· By February 16th, send e-mail to planners@mcs.anl.gov including the following information
    1. Institution Name and location.
    2. Primary contact person's name, institution, e-mail address.
    3. Contact information for all collaborators (name, institution, e-mail address).
    4. Title of local workshop/program you hope to hold during the SC Conference (if none, see question 5)
        a. A paragraph summary of your workshop and its significance
        b. URL address for further documentation.
    5. A paragraph stating how you plan to contribute to SC01?
    6. What type of audience will you remotely bring to SC01 (background, how many people do you estimate to be in attendance?)
    7. Potential obstacles that we may be able to assist you in overcoming.
    8. A description of how you plan to deploy the Access Grid technology at your side, and the wide area network connectivity you plan to have prior-to and during
    SC'2001. This information is *very* important as we will use it to evaluate your site's ability to participate effectively in the SC Global event. We thus hope to avoid
    disapointments on either side due to e.g. inadequate technical capabilities.

Any questions?  Feel free to contact us at planners@mcs.anl.gov
