3.6. Reporting Results and Interactions

At the individual project level, investigators present their results in workshops, conferences, and journal publications. In addition, investigators rely on electronic means (such as the National HPCC Software Exchange) to share and distribute software tools. At the agency level, periodic reports summarize the results of HPCC activities. In addition, HPCC agencies' Web sites provide direct access to the results of their research projects. The NCO has established its own Web site that is linked to all of the agency-level sites.

In FY 1996, the CIC R&D Subcommittee and its Working Groups (or their predecessors) sponsored the following outreach conferences and workshops:

A workshop on "Federal Strategies and Programs in the Age of Information" at Supercomputing '95 (December 1995)
