Data-Intensive Scalable Computing in Education
An invitation to apply for a workshop on
Data-Intensive Scalable Computing in Education (DISC 2008)
University of Washington, Seattle, WA
July 16 - 18, 2008
http://www.cs.washington.edu/homes/ak/clusterworkshop/
This workshop will provide material and curricular support for
undergraduate teaching institutions to prepare students for careers in
the development and maintenance of software applications for
data-intensive scalable computing (DISC). This initial workshop will
bring educators and other professionals in computer science and
software engineering to the University of Washington, where such a
course has been conducted successfully.
The goal of this workshop is to inspire the development of new
curricular materials in DISC. Participants will be introduced to
existing curriculum components for similar coursework, as well as
provided with in-depth hands-on experience using software platforms
that make such computing manageable in an undergraduate setting. Time
will be allocated for discussions between attendees and
representatives from industry and the open-source community to help
formulate new ideas to carry back to the academic institutions of the
attendees.
Undergraduate computing educators and other interested professionals
are invited to apply for this workshop at the link below. All travel,
lodging and food costs for the workshop will be covered for accepted
attendees. Please apply early as workshop attendance is limited.
Schedule and other information, including online application, are available at
