[2009-program-committee] R: Workshop 4 High Performance Computing and Grid Infrastructure for Neuroinformatics applications.

[David Willshaw]

Dear Luciano,

Thanks very much for your update. I've two queries:

1. Has Mario Campolargo accepted?

2. Concerning  a possible speaker from the MUSIC project, I think you
need to look a bit further afield - as Pontus implies. Maybe Gaute can
suggest someone, or maybe there is a name from the INCF Activity in
Large Scale Modelling?

Best wishes,

David
