Some of our speaker will include:

* Dr. Kathie Olsen, National Science Foundation Deputy Director and
  Chief Operating Officer

* Dr. Earl Joseph, IDC Program Vice President for High Performance
  Computing

* Dr. Stephen Wheat, Intel's Director of High Performance Computing

* Dr. Miron Livny, inventor of Condor and Professor of Computer
  Sciences, University of Wisconsin

* Dr. Amy Apon, Associate Professor of Computer Science, University
  of Arkansas

* Dr. Kyran (Kim) Mish, Presidential Professor of Structural
  Engineering and Director, Fears Structural Engineering Laboratory,
  University of Oklahoma

* Dr. Paul Gray, Associate Professor of Computer Science, University
  of Northern Iowa

* Dr. Farideh Samadzadeh, Professor of Computer Science, Oklahoma
  School of Science & Mathematics

More speakers will be announced soon.

We'd be delighted to have you participate. It's a great way to learn
what's happening on the High Performance Computing side of your research
area.

The Symposium is FREE and comes with meals and snacks, including a FREE
reception and poster session the evening of Tue Oct 3.

Last year's Symposium had 285 attendees (out of over 400 registrations),
from 31 colleges and universities in 11 states, 44 private companies, 16
government agencies and 5 non-governmental organizations. We expect at
least as many this year -- probably more.

We're currently looking for people interested in participating, both as
attendees and also to present:

* breakout talks (30 minutes including questions);
* technical briefs (10 minutes including questions);
* posters (at the reception Tue Oct 3 5:30-7:00pm).

We're looking for talks, briefs and posters in any of a variety of areas
of Computational Science & Engineering (including computational research
in every field of engineering, physical science, biological science,
social science and business), High Performance Computing, High
Performance Networking, Grid Computing, Data Mining, HPC education and
so on.

And, if you know of students -- graduate and undergraduate -- who are
interested in these areas, this is a great opportunity to introduce them
to conferences, especially because it's FREE. We especially welcome
talks, briefs and posters by students.

Also, if you know of colleagues that might be interested, please feel
free to forward this note to them.

We'll also have a vendor exposition, where you'll have an opportunity to
learn about existing and emerging HPC technologies.
