HPDC2010 -- Call for Workshops We invite proposals for workshops to be held with the ACM Symposium 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. A workshop must be proposed in writing and sent to dthain@nd.edu.
