To push the boundaries of e-science closer to realistic applications, development of methods and models at all levels is needed, from the electronic scale to coarse-grained simulations. In particular, we must find ways to combine methods in a powerful and creative fashion to bridge the different time and length gaps in a seamless fashion. The national e-science programme eSSENCE – where Uppsala University, Lund University and Umeå University are partners – now welcomes you to the meeting
http://essenceofescience.se/materials-2012/
At this meeting, we will discuss the challenges of multiscale modelling, as well as a number of interesting examples of modern materials and molecular simulations. We will use the word “materials” in a broad sense, i.e. also including molecules and molten materials (liquids). Colleagues from our national sister program SeRC, as well as all other e-science actors or interested colleagues are welcome to attend the meeting. Senior researchers, postdocs and PhD students are all equally welcome.
Scientific contributions: Four external speakers will give plenary lectures on Day 1. Posters will be accompanied by short oral poster presentations – you are most welcome to sign up to present a poster! See further info on the web. There will also be invited and contributed 15-minute oral presentations (+ discussion ). See further info on the web.
Registration: The meeting and the dinner and lunch will be free of charge to registered participants. Participants from outside Uppsala who need hotel accommodation will receive it free of charge. Sign up for the meeting by sending an e-mail to Dr. Pavlin Mitev (pmitev@kemi.uu.se) with some information as described on the web http://essenceofescience.se/materials-2012/. Do this before 25 May! If you need accommodation – tell us as soon as possible and preferably before 16 May!

Umeå University, May 31, 2012
High Performance Computing Center North cordially invites you to participate in the inauguration of Abisko, the new HPC2N supercomputer system. The morning program offers a tutorial and the afternoon program includes presentations by scientists using Abisko, state-of-the-art technical and R&D overviews and the formal inauguration of Abisko.
The procurement of Abisko was made possible through a grant from the Swedish National Metacenter VR/SNIC and the support of Umeå University.
Dead-line for registration: May 21 at 12.00.
There is no conference fee but remember that the number of seats for all events are limited, so register as soon as possible.
Most welcome!
Bo Kågström, HPC2N Director
Marianne Sommarin, Chairperson of the HPC2N Board

The 35th CERN School of Computing will be held at the Uppsala University, Sweden
from Monday 13th of August to Friday 24th August 2012
Programme highlights
The CERN School of Computing 2011 is organised around 3 thematic themes, each theme comprising lectures and exercises.
- Do you know how to bridge Grids and Clouds using virtualization technology?
- Is it possible to simplify LHC physics analysis using virtual machine?
- How can reliable storage services be built from unreliable hardware?
- Why are tapes still used in high energy physics data storage?
- How can I write code for tomorrow’s hardware, today?
- Do you want to see your software with attacker’s eyes?
- Can you hack your own code?
- Do you know what do ‘code injection’ and ‘integer overflow’ have in common?
- What’s so special about High Energy Physic’s data format?
- What are the key statistical methods used in physics data analysis?

8th IEEE International Conference on eScience
http://www.ci.uchicago.edu/escience2012/
October 8-12, 2012
Chicago, IL, USA
Researchers in all disciplines are increasingly adopting digital tools, techniques and practices, often in communities and projects that span disciplines, laboratories, organizations, and national boundaries. The eScience 2012 conference is designed to bring together leading international and interdisciplinary research communities, developers, and users of eScience applications and enabling IT technologies. The conference serves as a forum to present the results of the latest applications research and product/tool developments and to highlight related activities from around the world. Also, we are now entering the second decade of eScience and the 2012 conference gives an opportunity to take stock of what has been achieved so far and look forward to the challenges and opportunities the next decade will bring.
