Exciting theme and programme updates for 2022 Research Software Engineering Conference
We're less than two months away from NeSI's annual New Zealand Research Software Engineering (NZ RSE) Conference and have some exciting updates to share!
Keynote announcement: Daniel Katz
Daniel S. Katz is Chief Scientist at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA), Research Associate Professor in Computer Science (CS), Research Associate Professor in Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE), Research Associate Professor in the School of Information Sciences (iSchool), and Faculty Affiliate in Computational Science and Engineering (CSE) at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.
Dan's interest is in the development and use of advanced cyberinfrastructure to solve challenging problems at multiple scales. His technical research interests are in applications, algorithms, fault tolerance, and programming in parallel and distributed computing, including HPC, Grid, Cloud, etc. He is also interested in policy issues, including citation and credit mechanisms and practices associated with software and data, organisation and community practices for collaboration, and career paths for computing researchers.
Submissions are open & student abstracts are encouraged!
This year, the NZRSE Conference's theme is Sustainability: Communities, Digital Practices and Tools. Our programme will focus on sustainability in research as an outcome of good practices emergent in multiple components. We're seeking submissions that share the opportunities and challenges of sustainable research along with the communities, tools and practices that have enabled your efforts.
This year we are offering free registration to any students who submit an abstract for the programme! So, please help us spread the word and encourage students to participate in this event. Send them this info poster for quick details or point them to our event website for more information.
