The University of Chicago and Argonne National Laboratory established the Computation Institute in 2000 to address the most challenging problems arising in the use of strategic computation and communications. Its establishment was motivated by the tremendous opportunities inherent in new approaches to research based on the large-scale application of computation, data, and communications, and the strategic importance to the University and Argonne of developing the capabilities required to exploit those opportunities. http://www.ci.anl.gov Computation Institute April 26, 2010| TBA http://www.ci.uchicago.edu/events/detail.php?id=789 April 26, 2010| March 24, 2010| TBA http://www.ci.uchicago.edu/events/detail.php?id=758 March 24, 2010| March 17, 2010| TBA http://www.ci.uchicago.edu/events/detail.php?id=760 March 17, 2010| March 3, 2010| TBA http://www.ci.uchicago.edu/events/detail.php?id=759 March 3, 2010| March 2, 2010| Registration and Preliminary Program are now available for GlobusWORLD 2010 which will be held March 2-4 at Argonne (near Chicago Illinois, USA).
