The scientific collaboration meeting will bring together U.S. computer scientists and engineers who are leaders in the architectural issues of  emerging multicore/heterogeneous processors and who are aware of system software and application software requirements with Egyptian scientists who are focused on software engineering and development to tackle the new software challenges.

The meeting would involve active participation of U.S. and Egyptian researchers and students including women from both sides. The meeting will be an opportunity to get the new generation of scientists to explore working together and understanding the differences in the culture of science across the globe.

Goals of the Meeting:

• Identify new operating systems and programming languages research directions to cope up with the new multicore/heterogeneous processor challenge
  
• Establish a highly collaborative framework bringing together experts and students from U.S. and Egypt
• Establish a longer range collaboration by using this meeting and follow up events to produce joint research proposal(s) to funding agencies in Egypt and/or the U.S.
