on High
Performance Distributed Computing to be held in Chicago, Illinois in
June 2009.
Workshops will be held June 21-22, preceding the main conference
sessions June
23-25.
Workshops provide forums for discussion among researchers and
practitioners on
focused topics or emerging research areas. Workshops may be
organized in
whatever way is appropriate to the topic, possibly including invited
talks,
panel discussions, presentation of work in progress, or full peer-
reviewer
papers. Each workshop will be a full day event hosting 20-40
participants.

OGF 27 UPDATE: ONE WEEK TO GO
OGF 27 is co-locating with Summit 09: Partnerships in CI Development
in Banff, Canada
during October 12 - 16, 2009. The week-long event brings together an
international gathering
of developers, suppliers, and users who push the capabilities of
cloud computing, Web 2.0,
advanced networks and other emerging cyberinfrastructure.
For more information, please visit http://www.summit09.ca.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION AND HIGHLIGHTS:
Summit 09 Cloud Challenge -- Deadline Extended!
Summit 09 is hosting a live cloud challenge and is inviting entries
for live demonstrations
of the deployment and orchestration of cloud-based services using
underlying grid
computing infrastructures. For more details on how to enter your
cloud demo, click here:
http://www.summit09.ca/cloudchallenge
Has Your Research Been Transformed by Cyberinfrastructure?
Researchers who have seen their work transformed -- either from
collaborations made
possible, remote instrumentation accessed, or mountains of data
rendered intelligible --
are invited to participate on a panel and share their story. If you
would like to take part,
please email summit09(a)cybera.ca.
Opening Reception - Tuesday, October 13
Join us for drinks, hors d'oeuvres, and a chance to mingle and
