Dear colleague, The deadline for early registration to ICS'02 in New York City next June 22-26 ends at the end of this week (May 29 midnight EDT). We hope that you will not miss the opportunity to attend the conference. This year, the ICS program also includes tutorials, workshops and technical papers in new and exciting non-traditional topics in high performance computing, including InfiniBand, embedded wireless networking, power-aware designs, and self-healing (autonomic) systems. We suggest that you make your hotel reservations as soon as possible. The Astor-on-the-Park Hotel cutoff date is TODAY. The Lucerne Hotel cutoff date is May 29. We are looking forward to seeing you at New York City in June! Please feel free to pass along this notice to other colleagues in your organization.

Come to New York City for ICS'02! ------------------------------------ On behalf of the Organizing Committee of the 16th ACM International Conference on Supercomputing, I am pleased to announce its advance program. ICS is the premier international forum for the presentation of research results in high-performance computing systems. This year, we have an excellent technical program consisting of 31 papers selected from 144 submissions, three outstanding keynote speakers (Tetsuya Sato, Director-General, Earth Simulator Center, Japan; Alfred Z Spector, Vice President, Services and Software, IBM Research; David Kuck, Intel Fellow, Director, KAI Software Lab), three panel discussions and five tutorials on exciting current topics. ICS'02 is accompanied by 4 workshops: Self- Healing, Adaptive and Self-managed Systems; Java for High Performance Computers; Caching, Coherence, and Consistency; Performance Optimization via High-Level Languages and Libraries. I would especially encourage students to submit papers to the ICS'02 workshops (still accepting submissions) and attend ICS'02. There will be various awards for student presentations (courtesy of ACM), as well as student travel grants (courtesy of Intel, IBM and SIGARCH). We also have arranged for low-cost housing for students at Columbia University. ICS'02 offers an opportunity to meet experts in the field, both from the academia and the industry. The ICS'02 conference will be held at Columbia University in New York City, June 22-26, 2002. New York City needs no introduction: it is a whimsical mix of architecture, art, music, and the vanguards of business -- you may decide to stay there! Columbia University is an established Ivy League school, and is one of the top educational centers in the United States. The Columbia campus houses impressive turn-of-the-century architectures, and is only minutes away from the city center by subway. I hope you will consider attending ICS'02. I am looking forward to seeing you at New York City in June! Dr. Kemal Ebcioglu. ICS'02 General Chair. IBM T.J. Watson Research Center kemal@watson.ibm.com 2.

Social Events ---------------- The conference will also offer two social events to the delegates: The Circle Line Harbor Lights tour of New York Harbor on June 24th, and the conference banquet on June 25th. 4. Hotel Accommodations ----------------------- We strongly suggest that you plan your trip in advance and make your hotel reservation as soon as possible. There are other events in the city during the same ICS'02 conference days, so hotels will be filling up quickly and rates will be increasing at hotels throughout the city as occupancy rates increase. ACM has reserved blocks of rooms at two "boutique" hotels in New York City for ICS'02, at reasonable group rates. The Lucerne ($159/night ACM-negotiated rate) and Astor-on-the-Park ($135/night) will accept advance reservations until May 29th and 20th, respectively. A limited number of rooms are available for student attendees of ICS'02 at Carman Hall, Columbia University ($80/night for single room, $40/night if two students share a room. These rates include tax.) The rooms will be given out on a first-come-first-served basis until we run out. 5. Student travel grants ------------------------ The conference also offers travel grants for students, thanks to SIGARCH and generous corporate donations from Intel and IBM. The purpose of the grants is to make attending ICS'02 more affordable for all students (partially cover the airfare, hotel, and registration expenses, up to a maximum of $600). Students presenting papers at ICS'02 will be given priority in the selection process. The deadline for applying is May 20. Please visit the ICS'02 conference web site for additional information and/or contact the ICS'02 Student Advocate (Gabby Silberman) for additional information. 6. Registration --------------- Early registration fees are valid up to May 29, 2002. Payment information (credit card information, check or wire transfer receipt) for advance registration must be received no later than June 10, 2002. Prepaid registration fees will be refunded, less a $50.00 processing fee, if notification is received before May 29, 2002. Cancellations received after May 29, 2002 will not be refunded; however, a substitute registrant will be accepted. Online registration through the conference web site will be closed on June 10, 2002. 6.1 Conference registration fees -------------------------------- Conference registration includes attendance in all sessions of the conference, conference proceedings, breakfast, coffee breaks, the conference banquet and the boat tour of New York Harbor. 6.2 Tutorial/workshop registration fees (available for one day, or two days) --------------------------------------- Tutorial/workshop registration includes attendance in all workshop/tutorial sessions selected, access to proceedings/notes to all workshop/tutorial sessions selected, and coffee breaks. -------------------------------------------------------- | | Conference | One-day T/W | Two-days T/W| -------------------------------------------------------- | | Early| Late| Early| Late| Early| Late| -------------------------------------------------------- | ACM Member | $400 | $600 | $150 | $225 | $200 | $275 | | Non Member | $500 | $700 | $175 | $275 | $225 | $325 | | Student | $250 | $300 | $125 | $150 | $150 | $175 | -------------------------------------------------------- 7.
