Interdisciplinary Computational Seminars
Fall 2006 & Spring 2007
These graduate student-oriented seminars provide a forum to present and learn about computationally-oriented research occurring in many different disciplines. Interaction is encouraged with an emphasis on sharing ideas and obtaining feedback regarding issues arising at any stage of the computational pipeline, from applications through models and methods to scalable parallel and distributed computing, storage and visualization. To make these talks accessible to a multi-disciplinary audience of researchers, no prior knowledge of the specific discipline area will be assumed by the speakers.

This seminar series consists of four types of talks:
|
|
PICASso "Successes" Seminar
|
Leading researchers are invited to present special sessions about key "Successes of Computational Science" in their field; i.e., areas of success in the science that could not have been (or easily been) achieved without scalable computation. |
|
PRIME Research Seminar |
Research seminars in conjunction with PRIME (Program for Research on Immune Modeling and Experimentation) |
|
PICSciE Colloquium |
Leading researchers are invited to present accessible overviews of their work, or tutorials on specific methods. |
|
PICASso Research Seminar |
Graduate students, post-docs and young faculty present overviews of their research projects and/or tutorials on computational methods they are using. |
