Dear all,<br>
<br>
We are less than a month away from the 1st ACM Workshop on Scientific
Cloud Computing (ScienceCloud2010, <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://dsl.cs.uchicago.edu/ScienceCloud2010/">http://dsl.cs.uchicago.edu/ScienceCloud2010/</a>),
which is co-located
with the ACM International Symposium on High Performance Distributed
Computing (HPDC, <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://hpdc2010.eecs.northwestern.edu/">http://hpdc2010.eecs.northwestern.edu/</a>), and will take
place in Chicago Illinois on Monday
June 21st. <br>
<br>
I wanted to bring a few things to your attention:<br>
<ol>
<li>We have Dr. Dennis Gannon from Microsoft Research giving the
keynote talk

including all
session chairs and accepted papers.</li>
<li>We have a panel discussion organized as a conclusion to the
workshop; more information on the panel can be found at <a

The panel discussion moderator is Dr. Pete Beckman
(Argonne National Laboratory & University of Chicago),
and the five panelists are Dr. Manish Parashar (Rutgers
University), Dr. Dennis Gannon (Microsoft Research), Dr. Kate
Keahey (Argonne National Laboratory & University of Chicago),
Dr. Peter Dinda (Northwestern
University), and Dr. Bob Grossman (University of Illinois at Chicago).
Please submit questions for the panel discussion you would
like to see answered during the panel to <a

href="mailto:iraicu@eecs.northwestern.edu">iraicu@eecs.northwestern.edu</a>
with a subject "ScienceCloud2010: panel discussion questions". </li>
<li>With the generous sponsorship of Microsoft Research and Indiana
University, we will be organizing and hosting a general workshop
reception/dinner on Monday evening, for which all registered HPDC
and/or workshops attendees will be able to attend free of charge. The
specifics around this reception/dinner are still in the works, but if
you will be in Chicago on Monday evening, keep your calendar open.</li>
</ol>
Don't forget that the HPDC/workshop early registration ends June 1st,
after which the registration fees will increase.<br>
<br>
We look forward to seeing you in Chicago next month!<br>
