Keywords

Abstract
Enter a short (150 word MAXIMUM) description of the panel topic and questions to be addressed exactly as you want this to appear in the conference program. Indicate paragraph breaks by a blank line; all other text formatting will be LOST. Do NOT COPY and PASTE from MS WORD.
Detailed Description
NOTE: Make sure your PDF has your Panel title on it! Upload a single PDF file that describes the panel in more detail. This may include such information as a longer description of the panel topic or position statements by the panelists. You must convince us that the panel will truly be an interactive session and not deteriorate into long-winded, disjointed, and boring mini-presentations. Do not waste space giving a technical history; instead, explain why the panel will attract a good audience and why the audience will feel that the panel was beneficial. Suggested length for this file is 1-2 pages. Please specifically address each of the following in the submission:
  • Relevance and timeliness of the topic - Is this an issue that needs to be resolved now?
  • Expectation of driving toward insight - will the panel make a meaningful contribution to the state of the art and for the good of the supercomputing community?
  • Credibility of panelists - knowledge, experience, constructiveness, diversity
  • Audience draw - expectation of creating excitement and drawing an audience, as expressed in the panel’s call for participation and as evidenced by relevance, quantify participation in similar events (e.g. panels, workshops, conferences) at related venues.
  • Approach - effectiveness of prescribed approach in sharing and drawing out insights, including highlighting diverse perspectives (a little friendly controversy is often beneficial for discussion) and fostering broader participation, garnering participation. The submission should show a rough timeline proposal for the panel.
  • Clarity - the proposal should be clear, complete and articulate
Diversity
Please describe how you plan to create diversity among panelists with respect to topical background, institution type, geography and demographic characteristics like seniority and gender.
Special Equipment and other needs
Please include a short description of any special needs required by this panel. Assume that a video projector plus microphones for panelists and audience will be provided. Any additional equipment or special needs should be described below. Please indicate paragraph breaks by a blank line in the text field; all other text formatting will be lost.
