This announcement is posted on behalf of Travis Tate, XSEDE Media Communications Coordinator:
The Extreme Science and Engineering Discovery Environment (XSEDE) is the most powerful and robust collection of integrated advanced digital resources and services in the world. It is a single virtual system that scientists can use to interactively share computing resources, data, and expertise. XSEDE accelerates scientific discovery by enhancing the productivity of researchers, engineers, and scholars by deepening and extending the use of XSEDE's ecosystem of advanced digital services and by advancing and sustaining the XSEDE digital infrastructure. XSEDE is a five-year, $121-million project and is supported by the National Science Foundation.
The XSEDE15 conference — to be held in St. Louis, Missouri, 26-30 July 2015 — will start accepting technical papers and tutorial submissions on 1 March. Full papers will be included in the conference proceedings and submitted to the ACM Digital Library. In addition, selected papers from all the tracks will be invited to extend the manuscripts to be considered for publication in a special issue of the journal Concurrency and Computation Practice and Experience. Papers accepted for the "Education, Outreach, and Training" track will be invited to extend the manuscripts for publication in the Journal of Computational Science Education. Deadlines for the XSEDE15 technical program will begin in March and continue through the end of May.
The XSEDE15 conference program will offer tutorials, plenary talks, panels, and in-depth technical content that will challenge experts in the field while also providing introductions to all aspects — the tools, technologies, and methods — of computational science to people new to the use of these resources and services. This event will also provide a forum for discussion of challenges, opportunities, and solutions among High-Performance Computing Center directors, computational scientists, researchers, engineers, students, educators, XSEDE staff, industry, and government agency representatives from across the United States and internationally. Last year's XSEDE14 conference attracted more than 630 attendees from 45 states and 10 countries.
