Microsoft eScience Workshop at the Johns Hopkins University October 13 - 15
2006 Bloomberg Center Johns Hopkins University Baltimore, Maryland

This workshop will provide a unique opportunity to share experiences, learn
new techniques and influence the domain of scientific computing using
Microsoft's tools. Attendees will learn first hand from early adopters using
Microsoft technologies such as .NET, SQL Server, Office 2007, and web
services to advance their research as well as explore in depth how modern
database technologies are being applied to scientific computing. By
providing a forum for scientists and researchers to share their experience
and expertise with the wider academic and research communities, this
workshop aims to foster collaboration, facilitate the sharing of software
components and techniques, and influence Microsoft technologies for
data-intensive scientific computing.
