In May 2004, the Department of Computer Science at Appalachian State University in collaboration with seven additional UNC institutions received seed grants from the UNC Office of the President totaling ~650,000 for two years to start the development of advanced research and education applications in high-performance computing.  The mission was to provide undergraduate students at comprehensive universities with an opportunity to study computational sciences and high-performance computing at a level comparable to students at Research I universities, to promote faculty research involving undergraduates, and to promote grid computing methodologies throughout North Carolina.  This workshop is one of the last activities we plan for the final phase of the project. 

We will provide dinner on Friday April 13 for all participants. Also, we will provide financial support for travel, food on Saturday April 14, and $200 stipend to those students who have participated in the Fall and Winter 2006 workshops and will attend this workshop to present their research. We would like to invite faculty mentors to participate with their students. These students are expected to present their research in a 10-15 minute talk in the afternoon of Saturday from 2:00 pm. Additional stipends will be awarded for the top three research presentations.
