Workshop
The Workshop will take place at the NCSA Access Grid Node facility,
located in a building adjacent to the National Science Foundation
offices in Arlington, VA. The agenda will cover the two full
days of Tuesday and Wednesday, September 11 and 12. There
will be 18 invited speakers and two panel discussions in addition
to a closing discussion about topics to be included in the workshop
report. Participants at the workshop are encouraged to provide their
opinions about opportunities and challenges in Computational Physics
and other input for the report to the Steering Committee.
