Outreach, Community Building, and Professional Service
CSCAPES is in a sense an outgrowth of the broader effort of
building a community around the field of Combinatorial Scientific Computing.
The SIAM Workshop on CSC is the premier
international event for the field.
Since the Workshop's inception in 2004, four meetings have been organized, the latest
in October 2009 in Monterey, CA. In addition, CSC minisymposia are
regularly organized at SIAM and other Conferences, and
CSCAPES has been organizing more SciDAC-oriented outreach activities.
This page chronicles some of the major
CSC events that have ocurred over the last few years and in which CSCAPES
members were involved as co-organizers or in other capacities.
The page also lists various professional services CSCAPES members are currently
providing to the computing community at large.

A SIAM News report on the workshop
- Accompanying the workshop,
a special issue of the Electronic Transactions
on Numerical Analysis devoted to CSC was published (ETNA Volume 21, 2005). The special issue
was edited by John Gilbert, Bruce Hendrickson, Suely Oliveria, Alex Pothen, and Sivan Toledo.
Dedicated to Alan George on the occassion of his sixtieth birthday, the volume featured nine
papers covering different aspects of CSC.
