Call for Presentations!

 
The Corporation for Education Network Initiatives in California (CENIC) will hold its 11th annual conference March 12-14, 2007, at the San Diego Marriott La Jolla Hotel.

The CENIC 2007 Program Committee is seeking presentations, demonstrations, and panel discussions focused on network-enabled applications and research related to the 2007 conference theme, Making Waves.

We are planning for sessions that cover technology and infrastructure, teaching and learning, application development and use, trends, and/or future developments in network technology and related applications. Presentations focused on research, teaching and learning activities involving multiple segments of the K-20 community, and/or international collaborations are encouraged. Projects or studies to be
featured may be works-in-progress. The conference venue will be connected to CalREN, NLR and Internet2 to enable live demonstrations of content or capability.

 

Past topics have included optical networking, teragrid computing, network security, implementing IPv6, end-to-end connectivity, quality of service, last mile solutions, wireless technology, collaborative music and dance, and collaborative medicine.

 

In keeping with this year's theme, we are especially interested in presentations that cover the following topics:
       •       Astronomy
       •       Disaster Management/Recovery
       •       Grids and "Grids for Kids"
       •       Oceanography
       •       Optical networking
       •       Sensor Nets
       •       Tsunami/Earthquake studies
       •       "Waves of the Future"
       •       Wireless waves
