**ACE-grid** SC Desktop: SC comes to your office

[Jennifer Teig von Hoffman]

Greetings,

Many of you have heard about SC Desktop, which uses Access Grid and inSORS Grid technologies to enable remote participation in the SC|05 conference. This is moving beyond the limits of the SC Global event -- SC Desktop gives participants access to most of the SC Technical Program.

Please help us spread the word by forwarding this along to any of our colleagues you believe would be interested in this opportunity to participate in SC at a distance.

A brief press release describing SC Desktop is located here:

http://sc05.supercomputing.org/news/press_releases_06242005.php

The registration deadline is October 15; late registrations will not be permitted due to the need for technical training and testing.

For questions about SC Desktop, including registration and technical requirements, please send mail to scglobal at sc05.supercomputing.org . 

Cheers,
Jennifer Teig von Hoffman
