These are informal sessions in which a group of researchers can gather for discussions on a topic of mutual interest. BOF space will be available early in the evening and a typical BOF session will last one to two hours. We'll provide the space, you provide the topic and gather the people.
Please reserve space in advance by contacting the General Vice Chair Jie Wu. Reservations should be made by the end of January 2007.
BOF sessions will be advertised in advance of the meeting on the IPDPS web site and can be linked to a BOF announcement web page. The goal of the BOF sessions is to encourage new collaborations and research directions, to inspire educational initiatives, and to nurture the development of new workshop proposals and other initiatives and interactions within our community.
