        16th Annual ACM International Conference on Supercomputing
                           June 22-26, 2002
                             New York City

                Sponsored by ACM/SIGARCH, IBM and Intel
               Early registration deadline: May 24, 2002


1. 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.

3. 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 24, 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 24, 2002. Cancellations received after May 24, 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.
