Hi folks:
Here's the remaining logistical information and draft agenda.
We're in building 51 (Bevatron) room 201 at LBL. If you need to drive
to the meeting, you should drop a note to Roberta Boucher (rlboucher@lbl.gov)
requesting she arrange for you to drive in. There should be coffee and
something to nibble around 8:30 AM. The meeting will start at 9 AM.
If you are calling in, the conference bridge number is 517-267-1046 and
the access code is 780143. The conference call will start at 9 AM Pacific
Time. If there are problems, call the AT&T Teleconferencing Service
folks at 800-232-1234 (my teleconf ID, which may help is 493074245).
I will also try to email out the room's phone # once I get there.
(I should have email access from the room...). For those of you
dialing in, I will be emailing PowerPoint slides for my talk later today.
The draft agenda is attached. Suggestions for changes are welcome.
Thank you all for participating on such short notice!
Craig

Draft Agenda
NSF Workshop on Scalable Information Infrastructure
9:00- 9:45 Opening Remarks (Craig)
9:45-10:00 NSF Remarks (Strawn/Foster)
10:00-12:00 Research Issues
For this part of the workshop, I'd like to ask everyone to take
10 minutes (no slides required, just some advance thinking) and
try to list key long-term research issues in your area(s) of
networking. My request is that you think of issues that you think
will still be valid 5 to 10 years from now.
12:00-12:30 Break/Lunch
12:30- 2:00 Finding Themes
Given the various ideas, can we group them into broad areas or
themes? Or, put another way, is there one big research program or
a series of parallel ones as we go forward? This discussion is,
in part, a precursor to developing slides and a report outline.
2:00-2:30 Other Key Points
Beyond our research program, are there other points we wish to make
in areas where NSF might have influence? Importance of joint work?
Curriculum improvements?
2:30- 3:00 Slides
What do we want to say on the magic three slides?
3:00- 4:00 Report
What should our report outline be?
4:00- 4:30 Where Do We Go From Here?
How widely do we want to circulate the report. Are there any
other actions we want to take (suggesting an NRC committee be
formed, or contacting PITAC members)?
4:30- 5:00 Spare Time.
