Posters

Please plan some time to visit the SC2003 Research Posters Area in Lobby Two of the Convention Center. This part of the technical program is designed to showcase innovative research in progress. Our call for poster submissions yielded 119 high quality submissions. From this impressive group the Posters Committee accomplished the difficult task of selecting 44 submissions for display as Research Posters. Represented topics include networking, grid technologies, and domain specific uses of technology. Posters will be on display all day Tuesday through Thursday. One poster will be chosen during the conference for the Best Poster Award.

Posters exhibitors will be on hand to discuss their research at the Posters Reception on Tuesday, November 18, from 5:00 to 7:00 pm in Lobby Two. We hope you can join us for this lively mix of wine, cheese, and ideas.

We’d like to extend our thanks to the Poster Committee Members and Referees, and to AMD for their generous sponsorship of this year’s Posters Reception.
