The eighth IEEE International Conference on eScience (eScience 2012) will be held in Chicago, with workshops (including the Microsoft eScience Workshop) on 8-9 October and the main conference events on 10-12 October. In addition, there are two co-located events, which will have some joint sessions with eScience: Open Grid Forum OGF36 on 8-10 October, and the 12th Annual Global LambdaGrid Workshop (GLIF) on 11-12 October.
Researchers in all disciplines are increasingly adopting digital tools, techniques and practices, often in communities and projects that span disciplines, laboratories, organizations, and national boundaries. The eScience 2012 conference is designed to bring together leading international and interdisciplinary research communities, developers, and users of eScience applications and enabling IT technologies. The conference serves as a forum to present the results of the latest applications research and product/tool developments and to highlight related activities from around the world. Also, we are now entering the second decade of eScience and the 2012 conference gives an opportunity to take stock of what has been achieved so far and look forward to the challenges and opportunities the next decade will bring.
A special emphasis of the 2012 conference is on advances in the application of technology in a particular discipline. Accordingly, significant advances in applications science and technology will be considered as important as the development of new technologies themselves. Further, we welcome contributions in educational activities under any of these disciplines.
Venue: Hyatt Regency Chicago, Chicago, Illinois
