Ninth IEEE International Symposium on

Westin William Penn Hotel, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, August 1-4, 2000


Call for Demos

HPDC is providing conference participants with an opportunity to demonstrate their work to their colleagues. The demos will be shown in conjunction with the reception and poster session on Wednesday evening Aug 2, 2000 outside the main paper session hall. Each demo will have its own 6' foot table and network connection and can remain setup for the entire conference (as an exhibit) if you would like to show your work one-on-one or during breaks.

Important Dates

Who to contact

If you're interested in presenting a demo, please send a brief 1-paragraph proposal (ASCII text please) to Dave O'Hallaron (droh@cs.cmu.edu) by June 30, 2000. In the proposal, please indicate what kind of equipment you would like us to provide for you.

For technical information about the HPDC networking connection, please contact Ken Goodwin (goodwin@psc.edu)

Notes

o We're planning on holding 10 high quality demos.

o If you're rather not ship in your own equipment, we'll try to provide you with the equipment you'll need (e.g. machines and/or display monitors).

o The demo room will have 20 10/100 Ethernet ports attached to a 44 Mb/s T3 connection (see the figure below). The other end of the T3 connection terminates at the Pittsburgh GigaPoP.

o We have received permission to route our traffic over the Abilene backbone. The Pittsburgh GigaPoP provides a 155 Mb/s OC-3 connection to the Abilene backbone.

o The demo room is adjacent to both the main gathering area during breaks and the ballroom where the papers are being presented. So the demos and exhibits will be highly visible throughout the conference.
