Subject: PITAC in Pittsburgh
Of possible interest to IPers in the Pittsburgh area this Wednesday.
President's Information Technology Advisory Committee (PITAC)
National Priorities for Computational Science
A PITAC Town Hall Meeting
SC 2004 Conference - Pittsburgh Convention Center
Wednesday, November 10, 5:30PM - 7:00PM Eastern Time
Room# 303/304/305
Speaker: Daniel A. Reed
Chancellor’s Eminent Professor
Vice-Chancellor for Information Technology and CIO
Director, Institute for Renaissance Computing
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Chair, PITAC Computational Science Subcommittee
The PITAC Computational Science Subcommittee was charged in June 2004
to prepare a report setting out findings and recommendations about how
to strengthen the computational science investments of the Networking
and Information Technology Research and Development (NITRD) Program and
the appropriate roles of academia and industry. This report is to be
delivered to the President through the Director of the Office of
Science and Technology Policy by the spring of 2005.
The purpose of this Town Hall Meeting is to solicit additional input
from the SC 2004 community as part of gathering broader input from the
public.
Statements are limited to three minutes oral comment and five pages of
written material. If you wish to speak, please sign up at the NCO/ITRD
booth next to the SC 2004 store or send email and written material to
pitac-comments@xxxxxxxxxx Follow-up questions may be asked. There may
be time at the end of the meeting for those who have not been put on
the agenda to make very short oral statements. Written statements can
be made at any time.
Questions to be addressed at the
PITAC Computational Science Town Hall
1. What are the important problems in computational science that
should be addressed that are not being addressed today? What
opportunities and visions might be pursued if additional resources were
available? What major breakthroughs in science could then be realized?
2. Is the portfolio of Federal funding programs for computational
science appropriately balanced between short term, lower risk research
and longer term, higher risk research? If not, what adjustments would
be desirable?
3. How can computational science research be better integrated into
the scientific disciplines that are heavily dependent on it to enhance
scientific research and inquiry?
4. Consider the ways in which Federal agencies coordinate IT research,
development, prototyping, and procurement in support of science and
engineering research. How could this coordination be improved?
For more information
The Subcommittee recently briefed the PITAC on its information
gathering to date — that briefing is at

2004, the slides at Agenda and Presentations and the WebEx at Meeting
Recording.
