GoingToMeet

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.

The goal of this cross-disciplinary workshop is to bring together scientists from different research disciplines to share their research and experiences of how computing is shaping their work and to provide new insights into facilitating scientific discovery. The focus will be on discussion of the computing technologies that enable scalable solutions to scientific grand challenges.

The Microsoft eScience Workshop at IUPUI will invite contributions from any area of eScience including:

* Computational enablement of scientific research in life sciences, biomedical computing, environment, energy, and other areas of scientific grand challenges
* Knowledge discovery and merging datasets
* Large-scale science data analysis, mining, and visualization
* High performance computing in science
* Dissemination of scientific literature/results, the curation of data, and the sharing/finding of research
* Scientific sensors and data gathering tools and technologies
* Collaboration and workflow tools and technologies
