Dear all,
(Sorry if you receive this announcement multiple times.)
Registration for SciPy 2012, the eleventh annual Conference on Scientific
Computing with Python, is open! Go to
https://conference.scipy.org/scipy2012/register/index.php
We would like to remind you that the submissions for talks, posters and
tutorials are open *until April 30th, *which is just around the corner. For
more information see:
http://conference.scipy.org/scipy2012/tutorials.php
http://conference.scipy.org/scipy2012/talks/index.php
For talks or posters, all we need is an abstract. Tutorials require more
significant preparation. If you are preparing a tutorial, please send a
brief note to Jonathan Rocher (jroc...@enthought.com) to indicate your
intent.
We look forward to seeing many of you this summer.
Kind regards,
The SciPy 2012 organizers

SciPy 2012, the eleventh annual Conference on Scientific Computing with
Python, will be held July 16–21, 2012, in Austin, Texas.
At this conference, novel scientific applications and libraries related to
data acquisition, analysis, dissemination and visualization using Python
are presented. Attended by leading figures from both academia and industry,
it is an excellent opportunity to experience the cutting edge of scientific
software development.
The conference is preceded by two days of tutorials, during which
community experts provide training on several scientific Python packages.
Following the main conference will be two days of coding sprints.
We invite you to give a talk or present a poster at SciPy 2012.
The list of topics that are appropriate for the conference includes (but
is not limited to):
- new Python libraries for science and engineering;
- applications of Python in solving scientific or computational
problems;
- high performance, parallel and GPU computing with Python;
- use of Python in science education.
Specialized Tracks
Two specialized tracks run in parallel to the main conference:
- High Performance Computing with Python
Whether your algorithm is distributed, threaded, memory intensive or
latency bound, Python is making headway into the problem. We are looking
for performance driven designs and applications in Python. Candidates
include the use of Python within a parallel application, new architectures,
and ways of making traditional applications execute more efficiently.
- Visualization
They say a picture is worth a thousand words--we’re interested in
both! Python provides numerous visualization tools that allow scientists
to show off their work, and we want to know about any new tools and
techniques out there. Come show off your latest graphics, whether it’s an
old library with a slick new feature, a new library out to challenge the
status quo, or simply a beautiful result.
Domain-specific Mini-symposia
Mini-symposia on the following topics are also being organized:
- Computational bioinformatics
- Meteorology and climatology
- Astronomy and astrophysics
- Geophysics
Talks, papers and posters
We invite you to take part by submitting a talk or poster abstract.
Instructions are on the conference website:
http://conference.scipy.org/scipy2012/papers.php
http://conference.scipy.org/scipy2012/talks.phphttp://conference.scipy.org/scipy2012/papers.php
http://conference.scipy.org/scipy2012/papers.php
Selected talks are included as papers in the peer-reviewed conference
proceedings, to be published online.
Tutorials
Tutorials will be given July 16–17. We invite instructors to submit
proposals for half-day tutorials on topics relevant to scientific computing
with Python. See
http://conference.scipy.org/scipy2012/tutorials.phphttp://conference.scipy.org/scipy2011/tutorials.php
http://conference.scipy.org/scipy2011/tutorials.php
for information about submitting a tutorial proposal. To encourage
tutorials of the highest quality, the instructor (or team of instructors)
is given a $1,000 stipend for each half day tutorial.
Student/Community Scholarships
We anticipate providing funding for students and for active members of the
SciPy community who otherwise might not be able to attend the conference.

for scholarship application guidelines.
Be a Sponsor
The SciPy conference could not run without the generous support of the
institutions and corporations who share our enthusiasm for Python as a tool
for science. Please consider sponsoring SciPy 2012. For more information,
