We invite you to participate in the free, on-line, NSF/TCPP Workshop on
Parallel and Distributed Computing Education (EduPar-20).  A link to the
live on-line EduPar-20 workshop page, with the zoom link to join us on May
18th, is available from the EduPar-20 webpage:
https://tcpp.cs.gsu.edu/curriculum/?q=edupar20

EduPar, in conjunction with IPDPS,  brings together individuals from
academia, industry, and other educational and research institutes to
explore new ideas, challenges, and experiences related to parallel and
distributed computing (PDC) pedagogy and curricula.  We encourage all
participants to register for IPDPS.  IPDPS registration is free and
includes access to conference and workshop proceedings and email updates
about the conference and its associated workshops: http://www.ipdps.org/.

EduPar-20 marks the 10th year of EduPar workshops. In celebration of this
milestone, EduPar-20 includes a special focus on “looking back” to what we
have accomplished over the past 10 years, and “looking forward” to
challenges facing PDC education efforts in response to future trends in
parallel and distributed computing.  The program includes:

* Keynote Talk: Margaret Martonosi, National Science Foundation and
Princeton University, entitled  "The Computing and Information Science
Landscape: A look forward.”  Dr. Martonosi’s talk focuses on technical and
societal trends and topics that will impact the future trajectory of
computing, and highlights opportunity areas for education and workforce
development across the computing and information sciences, with a
particular emphasis on parallelism and advanced computing and information
topics.
* Invited Panel of distinguished experts from academia, industry, national
labs and funding agencies.  Panelists will lead a lively discussion of
"looking back" at what we have accomplished in PDC education in the past 10
years, and "looking forward" to future challenges to PDC education,
including future technical challenges as well as broader challenges related
to diversity, broadening participation, societal and ethical issues.
* An Announcement of TCPP curriculum version 2.
* Technical Paper Sessions.   Authors will present their work on PDC
education, pedagogy, curricula, and resources.

We hope to see you on May 18th!
