 DEISA PRACE Symposium 2011 in Helsinki
 
 DEISA, the Distributed European Infrastructure for Supercomputing
 Applications, and PRACE, the Partnership for Advanced Computing in
 Europe organise a third major European event in High Performance
 Computing (HPC): the DEISA PRACE Symposium 2011. This symposium will
 take place from April 13 to 14 in Helsinki, Finland. It is hosted by
 CSC   IT Center for Science, Finland at the National Museum of Finland.
 
 This unique symposium on Advancements in Petaflop Computing covers both
 European and international developments. The event addresses major
 interests of a broad audience: computational scientists, HPC technology
 experts, government representatives, vendors, and industry partners.
 
 Registration for the DEISA PRACE Symposium is open at the DEISA and the
 PRACE websites, participation is free of charge.
 
 Keynote speakers across the world will outline the strategic
 perspectives of High Performance Computing. During the first day they
 include Thom Dunning, UIUC, Director of NCSA, Kostas Glinos, Head of
 Unit, DG INFSO, European Commission, Anita Lehikoinen, Director of the
 Division for Higher Education and Science, Finnish Ministry of
 Education, Culture and Science, Xuebin Chi, Chinese Academy of Science,
 China, David Keyes, KAUST, Saudi Arabia & Columbia University, US and 
 Mitsuo Yokokawa, Next-Generation Supercomputer R&D Center, Riken,
 Japan.
 
 The second day focuses on challenges in computational science. In three
 Extreme Computing sessions, challenging computational science projects
 from all over Europe will be presented, covering essential scientific
 areas.
 
 The 1st PRACE User Forum is also included in the programme of the
 symposium. The 1st PRACE User Forum will mark the start up of a forum
 where the PRACE users can discuss their experiences and expectations
 from the PRACE HPC services and resources.
 
 Speakers from PRACE and DEISA will provide updates on the projects
