Public Lecture

The PASC18 Public Lecture is scheduled for Tuesday,  July 3, from 18:30 to 19:30 in the Montreal Room of the Congress Center Basel. Don’t miss the opportunity to invite your colleagues, students, friends and family to listen to David Bader’s presentation on “Massive-Scale Analytics Applied to Real World Problems.” David Bader, a Professor at Georgia Institute of Technology, will discuss the opportunities and challenges in massive data-intensive computing for real-world problems such as detecting and preventing disease in human populations and revealing community structure in large social networks. The presentation’s abstract and the speaker’s biography are available here.

 

Proceedings of the PASC Conference

We are pleased to announce that full papers accepted for PASC18 are now published in the Proceedings of the PASC Conference, accessible through the ACM Digital Library (click the “Table of Contents” tab). Papers will be presented as 30-minute talks at PASC18.

 

Preparing for Your Presentation at PASC18

We request all those who are presenting a talk or poster, or chairing a minisymposium, to please read the Guidelines for Presentations well in advance of the conference.

 

We look forward to welcoming you to the charming city of Basel on July 2nd for three days of stimulating technical sessions and networking opportunities.
