Tutorial

• All day, Monday (M02)
• Includes hands-on
• David Bernholdt coordinating
• Boyana, Ben, Gary, and David speaking
• Many more helping with hands-on
• Watch tutorial-wg list for final call for
  volunteers
• no response means you wont be put on the list
  and wont be able to get into the tutorial room

Booths

• No SciDAC booth!
• ORNL booth will be larger and significantly
  rearranged again
• Exhibit Hall Schedule
• Monday, 7-9pm Opening Gala
• Program managers frequently tour just before
  opening!

Poster Discussion

• Email changes to db or put on wiki
• Deadline Sunday 9 October 2005
• Need to have a short discussion here

10
Anticipated Booth Content

• Posters
• Comment on proofs by Sunday!
• Demos
• 1 demo station available, shared with PPT loop,
  handouts
• What demos will be available?
• Proposal demos on demand rather than
  pre-arranged
• PPT loop (volunteer needed to coordinate)
• Show continuously on Monster Laptop (?)
• Unless space needed for demos
• 2-pagers (individual responsibility)
• Create, copy (50-200 copies), and bring
• db will reproduce final SciDAC2 highlight
• db will create reproduce CCA _at_ SC2005 handout

Additional Notes

• Booth needs to be staffed at all times
• Generally 1-2 people
• Volunteer needed to coordinate signup
• Booth will be crowded and cannot be a hangout!

Part II CCA Now a Best-Selling Book!
13
Progress Report

• Series of telecons since July meeting
• Defined audience
• Created outline
• Assigned chapter editors
• Determined page budgets
• Determined schedules
• book_at_cca-forum.org mailing list
• CVS repository
• CVSROOT cca-forum.org/cvs/cca-book
• Module book
• See planning/

14
Audience

• High-level managers, decision makers
• Software architects/engineers
• Computational scientists w/o particular CS
  knowledge/experience
• including grad students, postdocs, etc.
• including educators and students
• Owners of large codes/libraries who may not be
  aware of components
• more large-scale programming experience than
  computational scientists
• Applied mathematicians
• CCA component developers
• CCA component users (do we have enough content
  for this audience?)
• CS academics interested in CCA vs other component
  technologies
