Papers accepted for the “Workforce Development and Diversity” track will be invited to extend the manuscripts for publication in the Journal of Computational Science Education.

The XSEDE16 Technical Program includes the following tracks: Papers on Accelerating Discovery in Scholarly Research; Papers on Advanced Cyberinfrastructure Technology; Papers on Software and Software Environments; Papers on Workforce Development and Diversity; Short Papers and Visuals on Visualization Best Practices; Posters; Tutorials; and Birds of a Feather (BOFs). There are additional opportunities for student-led work by high-schoolers, undergraduates and graduates.
