"The 3D Internet Focus Area will look at ways in which 3D
visualization and immersive environments such as Second Life are
changing the way we communicate, share information, educate students
and explore scientific problems.

"'The Internet changed the way we share information and the
3D Internet will change the way we relate to each other in fundamental
ways,' said John Hengeveld, a business strategy manager at Intel and
chair of the 3D Internet Focus Area. 'These graphically rich 3D worlds
require a host of HPC resources, and they could forever change
education and how people come to understand scientific concepts.'

"Submissions for most areas of the SC09 technical program will be
accepted beginning March 16. Technical paper abstracts are due April 3
and final papers as well as submissions for tutorials, workshops and
panels are due April 6."


SC09 will be November 14-20, 2009 in Portland, Oregon, USA.
