Technical Papers

Print this page

The SC2002 Technical Papers component of the technical program will offer 67 outstanding papers covering a broad scope of issues and offering a truly international perspective on high performance networking and computing. These papers report experimental and theoretical results, innovative designs, and case studies related that advance the state of the art and bring together the latest advances in technology, science, research, application, and education.

They are complemented with a broad range of panel discussions and an innovative Masterworks track of invited speakers. Some of the best papers have been nominated for the Gordon Bell Prizes, the best technical paper, best student paper. Finalists for these awards are noted in the abstracts. We inivite technical program participants to attend the awards session Thursday afternoon at 3:30 to honor the winners of these awards.
