ISC 2017 BOF SESSIONS

Please note that the call for BoFs is now closed!

Like-minded ISC attendees come together in our informal Birds-of-a-Feather (BoF) sessions to discuss current HPC topics, network and share their thoughts and ideas. Each 60-minute BoF session addresses a different topic and is led by one or more individuals with expertise in the area.

Submitted BoF proposals will be reviewed by the ISC 2017 BoFs Committee, which is headed by Dona Crawford, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, with Dr. Georg Hager, University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, as Deputy Chair.

The BoF sessions will be held from Monday, June 19 through Wednesday, June 21, 2017. Attendance will require at least an Exhibition Pass.
