HiPCAT - Meetings

HiPCAT will hold 10-12 official meetings every year. No more than four of these meetings will require in-person attendance from the member institutions; the remaining meetings will take place using teleconferencing and/or videoconferencing technologies. The purposes of these meetings are to:

keep each other informed of new HPC resources (including also scientific visualization, network, and Grid resources), activities, and people at each institution;
sharing of information, expertise, and experiences that are of potential value to other HiPCAT institutions; and
discuss current and potential collaborative projects between HiPCAT institutions.

The institutional liaison, or a delegate announced in advance to the EC in writing/e-mail, must participate in 75% or more of all meetings and teleconferences/videoconferences in a calendar year. Failure to provide an institutional liaison at the required number of meetings is cause for cancellation of HiPCAT membership. An institution can have as many additional participants in HiPCAT meetings as desired. Additional participation in meetings is strongly encouraged but not mandatory.

The dates, times, and (for in-person meetings) locations of official meetings are set in advance by the EC, using input from all HiPCAT participants. All necessary logistical information about the meetings will be distributed to the HiPCAT e-mail list and posted to the members-only area of the HiPCAT web site. All in-person meetings will be scheduled at least two weeks in advance, unless all members agree on an earlier date.
