Welcome to the SC2003 Interactive Calendar. This page provides the latest, most comprehensive guide to the conference Technical Program and other activities. You can use this page to create your own customized schedule of the sessions you don’t want to miss. Once you’re compiled your calendar by clicking on the desired sessions, you can have it sent to your laptop or formatted for your PDA.

The page will be updated and expanded regularly before and during SC2003. As an experiment for this year, this calendar will replace much of the information usually contained in the 200-page Final Program handed out at past conferences. The Interactive Calendar's Web format will provide the latest, most accurate information to conference attendees.
