HPDC-12: The Twelfth IEEE International Symposium

22-24 June, 2003
Sheraton Seattle Hotel and Towers

The Twelfth IEEE International Symposium on High-Performance Distributed
Computing will be a forum for presenting the latest research findings on
the design and use of highly networked systems for computing,
collaboration, data, analysis, and other innovative tasks. Submissions
are encouraged on all aspects of Grid and high performance distributed
computing. Case studies describing novel applications are also of
interest. A more complete list of topics can be found at this address
http://www-csag.ucsd.edu/HPDC-12/.

The 8th Global Grid Forum

24-27 June, Seattle, WA

Sheraton Seattle Hotel and Towers

With the theme ?Building Grids: Obstacles and Opportunities?, this GGF
will update global Grid practitioners, enthusiasts and researchers on
the current state of Grid technology. The GGF8 program will include
esteemed Keynote Speakers, Technology Updates, Application Updates,
Industry Updates and Special ?Grid Debate? Panels. The plenary session,
BoF?s, workshops, WG/RG Sessions and tutorials will round out the four
day program. More information about GGF8 can be found here

Call For Participation

The 3rd IEEE/ACM International Symposium on
Cluster Computing and the Grid
(CCGrid 2003)
May 12-15, 2003
Tokyo, Japan
http://ccgrid2003.apgrid.org
http://www.ccgrid.org/ccgrid2003/

This is the third international symposium on cluster computing and the
Grid sponsored by IEEE and ACM to bring together international cluster
and grid computing researchers, developers, and users to present and
exchange the latest innovations and findings that drive future
research and products. The conference consists of the refereed paper
presentations, tutorials, posters, and several workshops related to
cluster and grid technologies. The conference program highlights are
enclosed for your consideration.

On-line Registration & Accommodation Reservation is now open. Advance
Registration should be done by April 11. For information about your
Registration and Accommodation, please visit the pages on the Website.

If you require an invitation letter or any other documents, please
download the Visa Application Form from the Registration guidance page
from the CCGrid2003 website, fill in your information and send it back
to ccgrid2003-visa@.... Along with your registration, we
will be providing support documents for obtaining visa to visit Japan.
Note that for many countries, obtaining visa to visit Japan is not
required, but will be necessary for some countries such as China. We
will send you the required documents immediately after we confirm your
registration and payment. Note that for some countries visa requests
will take some time to be granted, so please send your information as
soon as possible. Note that basically we will only be assisting you
if you have some form of technical presentation during the conference.
If you are merely participating, we will only be assisting you on a
case-by-case basis.

If you have any questions regarding CCGrid2003, please feel free to
ask us at any time. Please visit the Website periodically for up-date

Subject: LeafySeaDragon 0.2 Cetacean Interaction Grid Released

Leafy Sea Dragon 0.2 is a proof-of-concept, 100% Java, grid prototype
sending simulated Cetacean sounds over the Internet and playing them
back on an ordinary PC.
This version contains a Cetacean audio simulator
and 3 nodes working on 3 different hosts:
a Cetacean interface node (CUiNode),
a c2h converter node to convert Cetacean signals to human formats
(C2hNode),
and a human interface node (HUiNode) to play and display the Cetacean
signals
(and eventually to send human signals to Cetaceans).
The installation of the 3 nodes should be simple and the application
detects
the readiness of nodes and possible anomalies prior to starting the
simulation.
The Leafy Sea Dragon system is designed to be used
for Cetacean research and for setting up a world-wide Internet-based
Cetacean listening
and two-way acoustics interaction system (human-to-cetacean and vice
versa).
This version also includes a generic grid package,
org.smgridlayer0, that can be used for any type of IP-socket-based
distributed application.
