SC18 is currently slated to host 12 invited talks — four per day Tuesday through Thursday — and the lineup is stellar.
About the program, SC18 writes: “At the Invited Talks, you’ll hear about innovative technical contributions and their applications in addressing some of the most complex questions of our time. Talks typically concern the development of a major area through a series of important contributions and provide insights with a broader context and from a longer-term perspective. Talks featured at earlier SC conferences, such as Masterworks and State-of-the-Field talks, are combined at SC18 under the banner of Invited Talks.”
SC’s team has provided the lineup, along with days and times. All talks will be held in the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center’s Exhibit Hall B in Dallas, Texas.
