[Rajkumar Buyya]

Dear Colleagues:

I am pleased to announce that TCSC has nominated Bruno Schulze (Chair of 
CCGrid 2007 conference) for IEEE Computer Society Award. A copy of 
certificate of appreciation can be found at:

Citation reads:
-----------
"For your outstanding services towards the organization of the 7th IEEE 
International Symposium on Cluster Computing and the Grid (CCGrid 2007) 
sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Scalable 
Computing".
-----------

This was mainly due to his key role in successfully organisation of the 
conference whose summary can be found at: 
http://www.gridtoday.com/grid/1677376.html

The CCGrid 2007 conference attracted record number of participants and 
offered outstanding program and hospitality to all participants. In 
addition, the conference generated profit to $20,000 (20K) for the IEEE 
Computer Society and indirectly for TCSC, which is very very rare to 
achieve.

As you know TCSC gets its funding for its activities from the IEEE 
Computer Society based on the profit made by TCSC sponsored conferences. 
That means, volunteers like Bruno are fundamental for successfully 
hosting of TCSC activities such as Young researcher forum, TCSC Travel 
Fellowships/Scholarships offered to students, Doctoral Symposiums, 
Managing book donations, Supporting Web Forums, etc. From this 
perspective, services of Bruno as CCGrid 2007 are commendable and hence 
this recognition.

Please join me in congratulating Bruno for his achievement.

Best regards
Raj
TCSC Chair
