Today’s Agenda
• Overview of SC Global– Building on success, learning from
challenges– Participating sites– Categories of content– Criteria for successful proposals
• Timeline, steps for getting started
• Committee introductions• Questions and comments
![Page 3: SC Global 2003](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070419/56815a83550346895dc7eee3/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
What is SC Global 2003?• A link among the Phoenix Civic
Plaza and Access Grid nodes worldwide
• A component of the Supercomputing 2003 Technical Program– Traditional SC technical content– Innovative uses and discussions of
distributed collaborationtechnologies
• A multi-national and multi-cultural event
![Page 4: SC Global 2003](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070419/56815a83550346895dc7eee3/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Background: SC Global 2001
• 43 participating sites– 11 countries (10 new), 6 continents– 15 nodes installed specifically for
SCG01– 21 new nodes installed as follow-on– Plus 4 AG-enabled venues at
Denver Convention Center
![Page 5: SC Global 2003](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070419/56815a83550346895dc7eee3/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
SCG01: A Wealth of Content
• Three day program (+ a couple hours)
• Four concurrent virtual venues– One Showcase venue, featuring
(but not limited to) innovative arts events
– Two venues of SC Global Technical Program
– One venue of SC Global “joint” SC Technical Program content, cross-listed in appropriate places
![Page 6: SC Global 2003](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070419/56815a83550346895dc7eee3/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
The SCG01 Committee
![Page 7: SC Global 2003](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070419/56815a83550346895dc7eee3/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
SC Global 2003
• Integrated with SC Technical Program– Proportionally more jointly-
developed content with other parts of the SC Technical Program
– Submissions and review process improved and enhanced to reflect this integration
![Page 8: SC Global 2003](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070419/56815a83550346895dc7eee3/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
A Single Physical Venue
• SCG03 will take place at one AG node in Phoenix, installed in a dedicated technical program room– One concurrent track of content to
manage, rather than four– More AG nodes simultaneously
participating in the same session– (Probably) more proposals for
fewer time slots
![Page 9: SC Global 2003](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070419/56815a83550346895dc7eee3/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Building on Success
• Continue to feature technically and conceptually innovative uses of AG– Showcase node sessions generally
considered the most successful in 2001
– Stronger focus on technical and scientific contributions of these works
![Page 10: SC Global 2003](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070419/56815a83550346895dc7eee3/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Building on Success
• Continue to encourage and support broad, international participation
• Continue to use the production strategies that worked well in 2001– Sessions with production plans
generally went more smoothly than those without
![Page 11: SC Global 2003](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070419/56815a83550346895dc7eee3/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Learning from Challenges
• Focus earlier and more strongly on:– Finalizing the program– Preparation of production plans– Venues and contingency plans
![Page 12: SC Global 2003](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070419/56815a83550346895dc7eee3/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Three Categories of Sites• Constellation Site:
– Contributes content to SCG program– Selected through content proposal
process
• Satellite Site: – Provides audience interaction– Selected through application and
certification process
• Observer Site:– Passive viewing– Open to all; no application or certification
![Page 13: SC Global 2003](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070419/56815a83550346895dc7eee3/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Types of Sessions
• Joint sessions:– In close collaboration with other
components of SC03 Technical Program
• Showcase sessions:– Art, music, dance, and other
innovative uses of advanced collaboration technologies
![Page 14: SC Global 2003](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070419/56815a83550346895dc7eee3/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Two Part Review Process
• Ensure high-quality content• Ensure feasible and interesting
use of Access Grid
![Page 15: SC Global 2003](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070419/56815a83550346895dc7eee3/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Joint Session Proposals
• SCG collaborating with appropriate SC03 technical program chair/committee to ensure quality of content– Proposed/reviewed content:
Papers, Birds of a Feather, Panels– Invited content: MasterWorks,
Workshops
• Reviewed by SCG03 committee for feasible and interesting use of AG
![Page 16: SC Global 2003](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070419/56815a83550346895dc7eee3/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Criteria for Feasibility
• Reviewers’ confidence in any non-standard technologies
• Reviewers’ confidence in primary node and staff– Node should either be well-
established, or have good plans in place to become so
• Reviewers’ confidence in other participating nodes
![Page 17: SC Global 2003](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070419/56815a83550346895dc7eee3/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
The Importance of Art• Creates a unique contribution to
SC– Showcase not limited to art, though
• Showcases the Access Grid’s capacity to support human interaction
• Presents new and different technical challenges
• Broadens our understanding of the potential use of distributed collaboration technologies
![Page 18: SC Global 2003](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070419/56815a83550346895dc7eee3/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Showcase Sessions Review
• Reviewed solely by the SC Global 2003 committee– Subject matter experts may be
recruited to participate in review process as needed
• Reviewed for:– Feasible and interesting use of the
AG– Additional factors specific only to
the Showcase
![Page 19: SC Global 2003](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070419/56815a83550346895dc7eee3/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Factors for Showcase Review• Extent and effectiveness of collaboration• Possibility of rolling out the work this
session reflects to a larger community– Examples: low-bandwidth, economically
disadvantaged, disabilities
• Compelling experience for remote sites• Technical and/or artistic merit in its own
relevant field (painting, sci vis, etc)• Contribution to understanding of the
use of distributed collaboration technologies
![Page 20: SC Global 2003](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070419/56815a83550346895dc7eee3/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Final Selection• Reviewers’ ratings will be
averaged and proposals accordingly ranked– For joint proposals, both SCG and
appropriate other SC chair/committee must approve
– If SCG rejects a joint proposal, the appropriate other committee may still choose to accept it for its own program only
• Discussions will take place among SCG reviewers and other technical program reviewers as necessary
