-------------------------------------------

[Microsoft is undertaking some creative strategies and technology
development in the eScience and ebusiness fields (e.g. rumoured Cloud OS)
that depart significantly from its traditional business practices, so I
think this event will be very worthwhile to gain some insight on some
possible future directions for the company - BSA]


Registration for the 2007 Microsoft eScience Workshop at RENCI is now open!

It is no longer possible to do science without doing computing.

 

The use of computers creates many challenges as it expands the realm of the
possible in scientific research and many of these challenges are common to
researchers in different areas. The insights gained in one area may catalyze
change and accelerate discovery in many others. This workshop is explicitly
cross-disciplinary, with the goal of bringing together scientists from
different areas to share their research and experiences of how computing is
shaping their work, providing new insights and changing what can be done in
science. The focus is on the research, and the technologies that make that
research possible.

 

Co-chairs:

Dan Reed, Director, Renaissance Computing Institute

Tony Hey, Corporate Vice President for Technical Computing, Microsoft
Corporation

 

We would like to invite contributions from any area of eScience; examples
include: 

.          Modeling of natural systems 

.          Knowledge discovery and merging datasets 

.          Science data analysis, mining, and visualization 

.          Healthcare and biomedical informatics 

.          High performance computing in science 

.          Innovations in publishing scientific literature, results, and
data 

.          The impact of eScience on teaching and learning 

.          Applying novel information technologies to disaster management 

.          Robotics in science 

.          Scientific challenges with no obvious computing solutions

 

All registered attendees are invited to submit an abstract for consideration
as a talk at the Workshop. Abstracts will be evaluated by the program
committee and those not selected for presentation will be offered poster
presentation as an alternative.
