SC07 Education Program in Reno in November
and Summer 2007 Workshops
Registration is now open for Summer 2007 Workshops and the SC07 Education Program scheduled for November in Reno. The workshops are funded by a number of sources including the SC07 Education Program, NSF, National Computational Science Institute, Mathematical Association of Amercia, The Ralph Regula School of Computational Science at OSC, TeraGrid, and other sources. We thank these organizations for their support and encourage you to also express your appreciation.
Please read the descriptions and locations below carefully before registering!
Summer Workshop Information:
Summer workshops will run if 12 people register prior to the specified notification date. Registration will remain open until the workshop is full or until 21 days prior to the workshop, which ever occurs first.
The summer workshop participants are asked to pay a registration fee of $150 to cover workshop food and materials. This fee will be refunded only if notification of cancellation is received on or before the stated cancellation date.
In the event a workshop is not conducted, or if you are not accepted due to over-enrollment, the registration fee will be refunded in full. Scholarships are available for people unable to cover the registration fee.
Housing costs are provided for participants that are not able to commute to the workshop on a daily basis. Meals and materials are provided to participants. Participants are responsible for all of their own travel expenses. Participants may be asked to pay some of the costs that are covered, for which they will be re-imbursed. The details of any expected on-site re-imbursable costs will be provided to participants in advance.
SC07 Education Program in November in Reno:
The SC07 Education Program will occur November 10-13, 2007 in Reno, Nevada. Participants will be engaged in hands-on activities to engage them in applying computational science, grid computing and high performance computing resources in education.
Housing, travel and meal costs are provided for participants. Participants are asked to pay a registration fee of $75 to cover food and materials. This fee will be refunded if notification of cancellations is received by October 1, 2007. Scholarships are available for people unable to cover the registration fee.
Education Program participants are encouraged to stay for the full SC07 conference to benefit from all that the conference has to offer. Participants will need to cover their own housing and meals after November 13 through the remainder of the conference.

Parallel and Cluster Computing, with an emphasis on Biology and Chemistry
This workshop will begin with an emphasis on parallel and cluster computing in an educational setting as well as teaching issues in parallel computing. Examples suitable for classroom use will be presented, including both simple codes that can be made available for student modification and more complex examples that use state of the art open source community codes. Participants will learn about the use of the Bootable Cluster CD computing environment, and will receive copies of the BCCD software for their use. Current protocols for parallel programming will be covered.
In addition, participants will have the opportunity to be introduced to computational biology and computational chemistry tools and resources.

Integrating Computational Science into the Undergraduate Curriculum
THE REGISTRATION FOR THIS WORKSHOP IS CLOSED. YOU MAY REGISTER TO ATTEND, BUT YOU WILL BE PLACED ON A WAITING LIST IN THE EVENT THAT A POSITION BECOMES AVAILABLE.
The goal of the workshop is to give faculty, from a variety of fields, the foundation for incorporating computational science into their undergraduate courses. The workshop is intended for faculty who have used some computational science tools in their research or teaching, or have completed an introductory workshop on computational science. Those completing the workshop will prepare or adapt at least one instructional module to use in their classroom along with an implementation plan for that instruction. The topics that we are prepared to cover if four or more people are interested:
- Introduction to Modeling and Simulation
- Computational physics
- Computational chemistry
- Structural modeling
- Computational fluid dynamics
- Computational biology
