AUTOMOTIVE

April 24 is the deadline for submissions in the areas of: • Technical Papers • Tutorials • Panels • Workshop proposals • SC Global sessions • Education Program • Gordon Bell Prize Notices of intent to participate in the HPC Analytics Challenge and the ACM Student Research Competition are also due by April 24. Sample submission forms and instructions available at: its Web site. The Technical Papers program is seeking original papers reporting experimental or theoretical results, novel designs, case studies, science and industry applications, and trend-setting ideas at the intersections of those areas. Details can be found at: its Web site. Proposals for tutorials are being solicited for introductory to advanced level, full-day (6 hours) or half-day (3 hours) sessions and may include hands-on exercises. A distinguished panel of experts will competitively choose tutorials. Suggested topic areas are listed at: its Web site. For SC06, the deadline for Workshop proposal submissions has been moved up. This year, the committee will be considering two categories of workshops: small informal meetings without a peer-reviewed program; and mini-conferences with a peer-reviewed program. Acceptance criteria will include workshop topic relevance to the SC06 Technical Program, its likelihood to repeat for several years, and the potential for the topic area to be absorbed into future SC programs. Details are on line at: its Web site. SCGlobal'06, which will focus on collaborative tools and programs, encourages submissions on all forms of high-end technologies implementing collaborative tools and programs that enable people to work together at a distance.
