PHOENIX, Az. Next fall thousands of high-performance computing and networking experts will flock to SC2003, the annual high performance networking and computing conference, between November 15-21 to see the latest technological tools, to learn about new scientific applications, and to listen to other experts present their most recent research. This exchange of ideas will enable SC participants to create innovative applications that take advantage of these advances in high-performance computing and networking. In short, the focus of SC2003 is igniting innovation. This year’s conference will be held in Phoenix, Arizona. Organizers are now seeking technical paper abstracts as well as proposals for tutorials, workshops, panel discussions, and other program content. Submissions will be accepted at the SC2003 website beginning April 7. The submission deadline for technical papers, tutorials, workshops, panels, and Gordon Bell Prize nominations is April 25.
