Call For Participation

2005 NSF CISE/CNS Infrastructure Experience Workshops

Siebel  Center for Computer Science

Urbana,  Illinois

July 27, 2005

We would like to invite you to participate in the NSF Infrastructure  
Experience Workshops.  The NSF Infrastructure Experience Workshops are  
organized in two areas:
1.       NSF Infrastructure Experiences in Pervasive Computing  
(http://www.cs.uiuc.edu/events/expwork-2005/pervasive)
2.       NSF Infrastructure Experiences in Cluster Computing  
(http://www.cs.uiuc.edu/events/expwork-2005/cluster)

The goal of these workshops is for the PIs of NSF CISE Infrastructures  
and other researchers who have or are considering -establishing  
Infrastructures in the area of Pervasive Computing and Cluster  
Computing to -come together to exchange (a) experiences about their  
lessons learned/failures, (b) experiences about unexpected/pleasant  
surprises, (c) best buy practices of equipment, (d) demonstrations of  
neat engineering solutions that came out of the NSF CISE  
Infrastructure, (e) creation of experience portals in these areas, and  
other experiences.

The interested participants should register online at the joint  
workshops web site: http://www.cs.uiuc.edu/events/expwork-2005   by  
July 8, 2005. The deadline for hotel reservations  is  July 3, 2005  
(see workshops web site for travel arrangements).

Call for Extended Abstracts

The attendees of the NSF-funded Infrastructure Experience Workshops on  
both Cluster Computing and Pervasive Computing are encouraged to submit  
two page extended abstracts reporting on one of the following topics:
·          lessons learned/ failures/problem experiences with cluster  
computing or building pervasive environments/smart rooms
·          unexpected/pleasant surprises and experiences with  
establishing the infrastructure
·          best buying practices and establishing relationships with  
vendors

Submission Guidelines
·          The deadline for the abstract submissions is July 15, 2005.
·          Submitted abstracts must be in electronic PDF format.
·          The format of the extended abstracts should be: 2 pages,  
double column, ACM-style format, 10pt font or larger.

The submissions will NOT be peer-reviewed since the NSF goal is to  
share any experiences that you have gathered in cluster/pervasive  
computing during the NSF CISE Infrastructure grant lifetime. The  
abstracts will be published in proceedings distributed to participants  
of the workshop and also posted into the experience workshop portal  
that will be accessible throughout the year by the academic community.

All submissions should be emailed to abstracts at cs.uiuc.edu. Please  
include Pervasive Computing Workshop Abstract or Cluster Computing  
Workshop Abstract in the Subject of the email.

The NSF Infrastructure Experience Workshops will be held on July 27,  
2005 (Wednesday) in parallel in the Department of Computer Science,  
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Siebel Center, 201 North  
Goodwin Avenue, Urbana, Illinois 61801
