Abstracts and biographies

SUMMARY –

Part of lca2010, the Open Source, Multicore and Parallel Computing Miniconf offers a space to learn and discuss about Open Source contributions (existent or in process) to the problem of developing Parallel Software.

It aims to launch a conversation on how the OSS Community, Education Sector, Scientists and Researchers, Developers and Industry are looking at this “new” scenario.

We invite presentations with a broad scope that could include between others:

– Specific code and technical developments

– Direct applications to industry and scientific research

– Training and education on Parallel Programming

– How the Open Source Model will be central to develop a sustainable platform for Multicore and Parallel Computing.

The Call for Presentations ends Monday 26 of October 2009.

Read in further posts about the type of proposals that we are after, the terms and conditions of LCA2010 and miniconferences, and other information.

This is a full day miniconf and there are a number of different speaking slots available from 5-min lightning talks and 25-min short presentations to full 40-50 min talks or collective presentations with a panel where presenters discuss the status of Open Source and Parallel Programming today and how they envision them to evolve together.
