= The 10th BOINC Workshop =
A workshop on BOINC and volunteer computing will be held 29 Sept - 2 Oct at the SZTAKI Institute in Budapest, Hungary.

The objective of this workshop is to share information about BOINC and projects using it,
through presentations and informal discussions, in an open and friendly atmosphere.
The workshop aims to stimulate new developments and activities related to volunteer computing,
and to guide the future development of BOINC.

The workshop is for researchers, scientists and developers with significant experience or interest in BOINC.
Areas of interest include:

 * BOINC on Android
 * GPU, multi-thread, VM-based, and Android applications
 * Data-intensive applications
 * Multi-user projects
 * Remote job submission
 * Integration with hubs, clouds, grids, and desktop grids

All participants will have the opportunity to present and discuss their work.
Slides will be published on the web, but there will be no papers or proceedings.

== Schedule ==

The workshop will consist of two activities:

 * '''Talks''': All participants are encouraged to give a short (20-30 min) talk describing their activities and plans related to volunteer computing.
  These talks do not have to be polished, or present results.
  Please send your talk title to David Anderson.

 * '''Hackfest''': On the 2nd and 3rd days of the workshop we'll divide into groups, to hack, document, discuss or learn some aspect of BOINC. Please come with ideas.

To allow more time for hackfest projects, we're extending the workshop to 4 days.
However, you're welcome to attend only the first 2 or 3 days.
