Tuesday—Friday, February 20-23, 2007--Registration is now open for the LCI Workshop at the University of
Oklahoma
.


SUMMARY:


The workshop will focus on both system administration of, and
applications on, clustered computing platforms (e.g., Linux
clusters).

The registration deadline is Friday January 19 2007. See:

https://www.linuxclustersinstitute.org/

You can find an outline of the program from our most recent
workshop at:

https://www.linuxclustersinstitute.org/program.html

 

DETAILS:

LCI's highly successful workshops are intensive, hands-on sessions
for cluster system administrators, analysts, computational scientists,
engineers, and researchers. LCI's technical materials are vendor
neutral, highlighting information that attendees cannot easily find
elsewhere.

LCI workshops offer advanced technical training for those interested
in deploying high-performance Linux computing clusters. System
administrators learn about issues related to the administration of
Linux clusters supporting secure and reliable, high-performance
computing. The workshops enable computational scientists, researchers,
analysts, and engineers to develop applications that achieve maximum
performance and scalability on Linux clusters of all sizes.
Prospective users of Linux clusters find the workshops a detailed
and informative introduction to the process of configuring, acquiring,
and using Linux clusters.

Each workshop spans three and one-half days. They cover a range of
issues from systems administration and management (hardware choices
and configuration, system software stack, cluster administration,
interconnects and storage options) to scientific/technical application
development and optimization (compilers, libraries, messaging options,
hardware performance counters, debugging and performance optimization
and tools).

You are encouraged to register early for workshops. The deadline
for registration is Fri Jan 19 2007:

https://www.linuxclustersinstitute.org/

The Linux Clusters Institute (LCI) includes some of the world's
foremost specialists in building and deploying Linux clusters at the
National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) at the
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, the Center for High
Performance Computing at the University of New Mexico (HPC@UNM), the
Advanced Computing Technology Center (ACTC) at the IBM Watson Research
Center, and Cray Inc. The group was founded by NCSA, HPC@UNM, and ACTC
at IBM Research.

LCI Mission Statement: To provide education and advanced technical
training for the deployment and use of Linux-based computing
clusters to the high-performance computing community worldwide.

https://symposium2007.oscer.ou.edu/

 

Our keynote speaker will be Dr. Jay Boisseau, Director of the Texas Advanced Computing Center, speaking on “How to Build the Fastest Academic Supercomputer in America – Twice in One Year.”

 

More speakers will be announced soon.

 

We’d be delighted to have you participate.  It’s a great way to learn what’s happening on the High Performance Computing side of your research area.

 

The Symposium is FREE and comes with meals and snacks, including a FREE reception and poster session the evening of Tuesday, Oct 2.

 

Last year’s Symposium had 300 attendees (out of over 500 registrations), from 38 academic institutions in 14 states, 43 private companies, 16 government agencies and 5 non-governmental organizations.  We expect at least as many this year -- probably more.

 

We’re currently looking for people interested in participating, both as attendees and also to present any of the following:

·         breakout talks (30 minutes including questions);

·         technical briefs (10 minutes including questions);

·         Birds of a Feather sessions (30 minutes including questions);

·         posters (at the reception/poster session Tuesday, October 2, 5:30 pm – 7:00 pm

 

We’re looking for talks, briefs, BoFs and posters in any of a variety of areas of Computational Science & Engineering (including computational research in every field of engineering, physical science, biological science, mathematics, social science, business and the arts), High Performance Computing, High Performance Networking, Grid Computing, Data Mining, Scientific Visualization, HPC education and so on.

 

And, if you know of students – graduate and undergraduate – who are interested in these areas, this is a great opportunity to introduce them to conferences, especially because it’s FREE.  We especially welcome talks, briefs and posters by students.

 

Also, if you know of colleagues that might be interested, please let them know of this Symposium.

 

We’ll also have a vendor exposition, where you’ll have an opportunity to learn about existing and emerging HPC technologies.

Title: Generating New Course Material from Existing Ones

Speaker:

 

Vincent Oria, PhD.

Associate Professor

School of Computing

New Jersey Institute of Technology

 

Abstract: Creation of appropriate educational content is a major challenge and

cost factor in the increasing important areas of on-line and life-long learning.

The aim of this lecture is to present how a new course can created by

recomposing parts extracted from existing annotated course materials. Course

materials comprising a variety of learning objects (slides, video, audio,

textbook, etc.), are gathered, decomposed into elementary learning fragments,

appropriately annotated, indexed, and stored. They are further augmented with

course structures and dependencies (prerequisite and precedence). A course

designer who has a particular training goal in mind can pose a query to the

Courseware-on-Demand system, expressing that goal. The first step in processing

the query is to locate course fragments containing material relevant to the

goal. Then, taking into account the dependencies, the system can define a

minimal path in the metadata network that leads to the goal. The last step is to

physically extract the parts of the course materials retrieved during the

previous step, and compose the new teaching material.

 

Dr. Oria is currently an Associate Professor (with tenure) of Computer Science

and Information Systems in the School of Computing in New Jersey Institute of

Technology (NJIT) after a tenure-track Assistant Professor position from 2000 to

2006. Prior, He worked as a Research Scientist at the ENST Paris from 1994 to

1996 before joining Prof. Tamer Ozsu's group at the University of Alberta,

Canada as a Post-Doc from 1996 to 1999 where he was the primarily researcher of

the DISIMA project. Dr. Oria published more than 100 research papers and reports

on Databases and Hypermedia Systems.

 

Dr. Oria received a Diplôme d'Ingénieur (M. Eng) in 1989 from the Institut

National Polytechnique, Yamoussoukro, Côte d'Ivoire (Ivory Coast), a D.E.A (MS)

in 1990 from Université Pierre et Marie Curie (Paris VI), Paris, France, and a

Ph.D. in 1994 in Computer Science from the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des

Télécommunications (ENST), Paris, France.
