[Swift-devel] Call for Participation: IEEE eScience 2012 in Chicago, IL, October 8-12, 2012

[Ioan Raicu]

*Call for Participation*

*IEEE eScience 2012*

*http://www.ci.uchicago.edu/escience2012/index.php*

*October 8^th -12^th , 2012 -- Chicago, IL, USA*

The 8th IEEE International Conference on eScience (eScience 2012) will 
be held at the Hyatt Regency Chicago, Chicago, Illinois, *8-12 October 
2012*, with workshops (including the Microsoft eScience Workshop) on 8-9 
October and the main conference events on 10-12 October.

Scientific research is increasingly carried out by communities of 
researchers that span disciplines, laboratories, organizations and 
national boundaries. These activities involve geographically distributed 
and heterogeneous resources such as computational systems, scientific 
instruments, databases, sensors, software components, networks, and 
people. Such large-scale and enhanced scientific endeavors are carried 
out via collaborations on a global scale in which information and 
computing technology plays a vital role and are thus popularly termed as 
e-Science.
