Dear colleagues, Wolfgang asked me to forward the following text. I am happy to do so since I consider this event most interesting for people involved in HPC, Cloud and high performance networking: Dear Colleague, please consider this International Conference on Cloud Computing: ISC Cloud'12 - HPC & Big Data Meet Cloud While cloud computing is gaining traction for enterprise computing, the suitability of such centralized computing resources for meeting the demand for high performance computing (HPC) and big data continues to be widely discussed and analyzed. On September 24-25, 2012 cloud computing experts and end-users from around the world will gather at the 3rd ISC Cloud Conference at the Dorint Hotel in Mannheim, Germany. The conference will focus on compute and data intensive applications, their resources needs in the cloud, and strategies on implementing and deploying cloud infrastructures, for industry and academia. Please go to http://www.isc-events.com/cloud12/ to find out all about the conference. ISC Cloud'12 is the third conference in the series and is presented by the same organization that hosts the International Supercomputing Conference (ISC). The key topics of the ISC Cloud'12 are: - Keynote Session with CERN's Bob Jones, Rupert Lueck from EMBL, and Wolfgang Lengert from ESA - Industrial Cloud Best Practices - Academic Cloud User Experiences - Engineering Applications in the Cloud - Modeling HPC Clouds - Key Security & Compliance Issues - Critical Aspects of HPC & Big Data Clouds - and a cloud vendor panel including a tabletop exhibition, full catering, and an evening event at a famous winery in the Pfalz Rhine Valley, as well as the conference proceedings.
