At SC 2001, to be held November 10-16, 2001, in Denver, a collaboration of conference goers will create SC Global: the first truly global technical conference supported by Access Grid technology.

The SC Global event will link the SC Core at the Denver Convention Center with dozens of SC Constellation sites distributed throughout the world, all of which support the Access Grid real-time, Internet-based videoconferencing system. The result will be a meeting place for multi-national, multi-cultural discussion about the impact of high-end computing and communications on science and society.

A rich set of panels, workshops, birds-of-a-feather sessions and invited talks will exploit the SC Global infrastructure, and enable communication and discussion among the international community and U.S. research-based institutions. SC Constellation sites will develop unique local programs that combine SC Global with local material.

How to participate:

· Propose multi-national and multi-site BOFs, panels, workshops

· Develop remote educational activities

· Bring unique remote content to technical talks or the show floor

· Propose an international or U.S. Constellation Site

· Apply SC Global infrastructure to industrial programs

· Join the team to help construct and operate SC Global

The annual SC Conference is the premiere technical and industrial meeting for high-end networking and computing, and computational science. SC Global is being organized by members of the National Computational Science Alliance ("the Alliance"), under the leadership of partner Argonne National Laboratory.
