The speaker is Pete Beckman from the University Of Chicago Computation Institute. He is a Chief Architect at the Argonne Leadership Computing Facility. http://www.cct.lsu.edu/events/talks/305 There will be a meeting with the workpackage leaders, people leading tasks within workpackages, leaders of science drivers, and a few key people from LONI on Wednesday, January 9, from 8AM until 1PM, with lunch provided at CCT. We can have Access Grid connections for people who really cannot make it. We need to define toy problems from the science side that have elements of the ultimate goals, which will direct the CyberTools development initially, and a description of the ultimate goal of the science that needs to be supported by the tools. We then need a follow up with a broader "All Hands Meeting", possibly the next week (Monday, Jan 14 maybe?), where the WP and Science Drivers leaders present their plans to everyone, including students, postdocs, research staff, LONI staff, etc, with plenty of time for question and answer and iteration on some of the plans. This will similarly take a half-day or so. http://cybertools.loni.org/news.html A calendar for activities related to the NSF EPSCoR RII project has been set up.

It will be updated very often, so it should be used as a reliable source of information for all interested parties. http://cybertools.loni.org/news.html On October 18th, the first All-hands Meeting for the NSF RII award took place in Baton Rouge. As members of the RII Advisory Board, Ron Hutchins, Jordan Konisky, and Vince McCoy were present. Two of the LONI Institute fellows attended the meeting as well. You can download presentations of Drs. Allen, Cortez, Gaver, Khonsari, and Seidel.
