The TeraGrid ’09 conference will showcase the capabilities and impact of the TeraGrid in research and education. All interested individuals are invited to participate. Submissions are sought for the science and technology presentation tracks, poster session, visualization showcase, and tutorials. 

SCIENCE TRACK

Submissions should demonstrate the impact of the TeraGrid through scientific results or the emergence of new communities. Submissions should: articulate the scientific problem; describe the scientific and computational methods and TeraGrid resources used; and present results, impact of the TeraGrid, and future plans. Work previously published in another venue or presented at another conference may be submitted for consideration. Accepted submissions will be included in the conference as 30-minute presentations.
