Spring 2010 Agenda

Please feel free to edit your agenda items. If you want to add an agenda item, go ahead but please let Rob Armstrong know. If it seems that your item has disappeared (and we didn't discuss it) look harder, it may have been rearranged into a different slot. If it still doesn't seem to be there, someone (probably Rob) deleted it by mistake. Let Rob know.

Newcomers to the CCA Forum are strongly encouraged to present a short introduction to their research and interests as they relate to the CCA.

The Future of CCA Forum Meetings
David Bernholdt, ORNL

Time and budget constraints increasingly affect people's ability to attend our traditional quarterly face to face CCA Forum meetings. While remote attendance (phone and web case) has been an option for some years now, and is used by at least a few people at every Forum meeting, I think it is time to open the question of whether the Forum should change its meeting schedule or format. A few possibilities to consider include:

• Reducing the frequency of meetings
• Switching to a completely online format for some or all meetings
• Some combination of the above
