About the Meeting
An informal LHC Physics workshop will be held at the University of Florida May 30-31. The purpose is to develop possible collaborative relationships for CMS physics analysis, taking advantage of the deep physics and detector expertise, as well as computing resources, that we can bring to bear.

Traveler Information
Flying in to Gainesville is conveniant but it can be a bit more expensive than flying into Orlando, Tampa or Jacksonville; each city is about 1.75 to 2.0 hours drive. More information on how to get to Gainesville and visting the department of physics at UF is available at http://www.phys.ufl.edu/department/travel/.

Accomodations
We have reserved a block of 25 rooms at the Holiday Inn-University. The pricing is $89/night for a room with two double beds. A telephone call and registration will be required to get this rate. The drop date is Friday, 5/26, after that date rooms cannot be guaranteed. The code for our block of rooms is "Dept of Physics" and their number is (352) 376-1661. The hotel website is http://www.ichotelsgroup.com/h/d/hi/1/en/hd/gnvuc
Hotel shuttle service may or may not be available depending on occupancy. Please note that the Holiday Inn is about a 20 min walk from the New Physics Building. The walk is a nice one this time of year and it will take you through the center of campus.

There are also many hotels and motels along the two main I-75 itersections in Gainesville, however you will need a car to get to UF if you stay at one of these. A campus parking map is linked from the deparmental vistor's page.

Parking
Parking is rather limited at UF. There are however several metered parking areas (violet colored areas on the UF parking map) near the Physics Bldg: The Reitz Union (3 min walk) is the nearest one and we have reserved ~20 space for attendees. Please inform the gaurd that you are visiting the Physics Department. In addition we have arranged free passes to the commuter lot right across the street from the Physics Bldg, the green lot on Gale Lemerand (North-South) Drive. Passes will be issued when you arrive at the seminar room 2205 in the Physics Bluiding (New Physics Bldg).

Registration
If you'd like to register please fill out the registration form.

CHEP conferences provide an international forum to exchange information on computing experience and needs for the High Energy Physics and Nuclear Physics communities, and to review recent, ongoing and future activities. CHEP conferences are held every 18 months. For more information see www.tifr.res.in/~chep06

The meeting is hosted at the University of Florida. For more information about the meeting please point your browser to www.opensciencegrid.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=121

SC|05, the premier international conference on high performance computing, networking and storage, will convene in November 2005 in Seattle. Under the theme, "Gateway to Discovery," SC|05 will showcase how high performance computing, networking, storage and analysis lead to advances in research, education and commerce.

The theme of this meeting will be to provide feedback from applications using OSG. The meeting will be held at SLAC. More information for the meeting at http://opensciencegrid.org/events/meetings/slac0605/index.html

The focus of this meeting will be on reviewing application progress with virtual data tools, sharing techniques and experiences (what works, what doesn't) and planning the next steps for application efforts and for the virtual data toolkit component developments needed to support those efforts. Grid deployment issues will also be discussed.

IMPORTANT NOTE: To meet Argonne visitor security requirements, all visitors must register (click Register, at left) to obtain a guest pass.
