ASCR is in the process of, in partnership with the other Science programs, a series of collaborative meetings, each focusing on the grand challenges of a specific scientific domain and the role for scientific computing in addressing those challenges.  The primary goal of these meetings is to engage the relevant scientific communities in a dialogue to identify the opportunities and challenges ahead and the role for scientific computing and multi-disciplinary partnerships.

Each meeting will be limited to approximately 50 invited technical leaders in the field of extreme scale computing, with a highly focused agenda targeted at identifying ways to overcome the most challenging technical issues and establishing a list of actionable recommendations.  Each meeting will produce a report for the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Advanced Scientific Computing Research (ASCR) program office that has the specific scientific domain in its portfolio.  The reports will also be available to the broad scientific and general community.

The technical meeting series is being organized by a coordinating committee that will produce a summary report from all meetings held with an overview of all activities and a high-level description of the recommendations common to all meetings.

Please contact ASCR for additional information or inquiries.
