Middleware Announcements

[Laurie Burns <>]

Dear colleagues,

Happy New Year!   I want to alert you to the Call for Proposals for the 
Spring 2004 Member Meeting, scheduled for April 19-21 in Arlington, 
VA.  The original deadline for proposals has been extended to Friday, 
January 16.  The Spring member meeting traditionally highlights Internet2's 
partnerships among academia, industry, government and the international 
community. The Program Committee is seeking proposals that focus on 
collaborations with and among federal agencies, between the corporate 
community and higher ed, and with international organizations. Key areas of 
focus include cyberinfrastructure initiatives, cooperative funding 
arrangements among federal agencies, global e-science collaborations, 
security on high-performance networks, as well as presentations of advanced 
applications underway on member campuses, deployment of middleware 
capabilities, and advancements in the K/20 community.

More information on the Call for Proposals and a proposal submission form 
can be found at:

I encourage you to circulate this call to others on your campus or in your 
organization.  Please let me know what questions you have.

Best regards,

        Laurie
