Four of the panels will be directly related to the plenary talks, thus providing additional opportunities for continuing discussion and for gaining insight. Paul Saffo, Director of the Institute for the Future, will give the Keynote Address. This year's award session will consist of two parts. The session will also include an invited talk. Meeting room facilities will be provided at the convention center, and a BOF notice board will publicize the meeting schedule.
Space is still available.
This year BOFs will be held daily following the formal hours of the technical program only. The Exhibitor Forum provides an excellent opportunity for conference attendees to hear leading industry representatives describe their latest research and development breakthroughs. These presentations cover such topics as future directions in research and development, the emergence of new technology related to high performance networking and computing, and new application areas. All SC97 participants, including exhibitors and exhibits only badge holders, are invited to attend. The Website listing of titles, presenters, and schedules is constantly updated.
