Registration is now open for the Southern Partnership in Advanced Networking (SPAN) workshop being held March 9-10 at the University of Central Florida in Orlando, Florida. Colleges and universities from across the Southeast are invited to participate in this workshop. Particular to this workshop is a focus on colleges, universities, and organizations in the state of Florida.
The SPAN project, funded through NSF’s regional CC*IIE program, partners with colleges and universities across the Southeast to support the increasingly critical role that access to distributed data/computer-intensive infrastructure – both technical and human – is playing in research and education endeavors across a wide range of disciplines.
SPAN is a partnership between Clemson University, South Carolina State University, Georgia State University and the University of Georgia that is building a regional community of practitioners across the South that supports next-generation networking.
In collaboration with Internet2 and ESNet, SPAN is offering this workshop to facilitate discussions on topics such as network design, network tools and performance, development of Campus Cyberinfrastructure Plans, best practices in supporting researchers, high performance computing, and promoting familiarity with advanced computing resources at the regional and national level.
Registration and an early agenda (subject to change) is available at http://span-nsfgrant.rhcloud.com, and limited travel support is available to support attendees’ travel to the event – including lodging and mileage.
