**Paris, Ecole Normale Supérieure, August 25-28 2011**

We are happy to announce the 4th EuroScipy meeting, in Paris, August

2011.

The EuroSciPy meeting is a cross-disciplinary gathering focused on

the use and development of the Python language in scientific

research. This event strives to bring together both users and

developers of scientific tools, as well as academic research and

state of the art industry.

Main topics

- Presentations of scientific tools and libraries using the

Python language, including but not limited to:

- vector and array manipulation

- parallel computing

- scientific visualization

- scientific data flow and persistence

- algorithms implemented or exposed in Python

- web applications and portals for science and engineering.

- Reports on the use of Python in scientific achievements or ongoing

projects.

- General-purpose Python tools that can be of special interest to the

scientific community.

Tutorials

There will be two tutorial tracks at the conference, an introductory one,

to bring up to speed with the Python language as a scientific tool, and

an advanced track, during which experts of the field will lecture on

specific advanced topics such as advanced use of numpy, scientific

visualization, software engineering...

Keynote Speaker: Fernando Perez

We are excited to welcome Fernando Perez (UC Berkeley, Helen Wills

Neuroscience Institute, USA) as our keynote speaker. Fernando Perez

is the original author of the enhanced interactive python shell

IPython and a very active contributor to the Python for Science

ecosystem.

Important dates

Talk submission deadline: Sunday May 8

Program announced: Sunday May 29

Tutorials tracks: Thursday August 25 - Friday August 26

Conference track: Saturday August 27 - Sunday August 28

Call for papers

We are soliciting talks that discuss topics related to scientific

computing using Python. These include applications, teaching, future

development directions, and research. We welcome contributions from

the industry as well as the academic world. Indeed, industrial

research and development as well academic research face the

challenge of mastering IT tools for exploration, modeling and

analysis. We look forward to hearing your recent breakthroughs

using Python!

Submission guidelines

- We solicit talk proposals in the form of a one-page long abstract.

- Submissions whose main purpose is to promote a commercial product or

service will be refused.

- All accepted proposals must be presented at the EuroSciPy conference

by at least one author.

The one-page long abstracts are for conference planing and selection

purposes only. We will later select papers for publication of

post-proceedings in a peer-reviewed journal.
