[ieeetcsc-discuss] TCSC Award for Bruno Schulze

[Bruno Schulze]

Dear Raj

I appreciate the IEEE TCSC nomination and your kind message.

For sure the CCGrid07 was the result of a joint effort of collaborators
always
paying attention and working hard as Chairs or in each one of the Committees

that were established. It is this team effort that should be acknowledged.

In particular I would like to share this specially with Philipe Navaux,
vice-chair,
that continuously followed the organization, Walfredo Cirne, for his
contributions
as tpc chair, my colleagues from LNCC, Artur Ziviani and Antonio T Gomes,
and
Simone Franco for all the details. Over more than one year, we worked side
by
side, which made it possible to have CCGrid07 shaped as it happened to be.

No doubt, the major achievement of CCGrid07 was to get together during its
organization, people from different institutions and nationalities, involved
in the
task of strengthening this large world wide system which is the subject of
our
researches, but above all it is a result from this joint effort.

For all the people which made a large part of their time available for the
organization of the conference: "thank you very much".

The responsiveness of TCSC has been also very important, and I would also
like to thank you Raj for supporting CCGrid07 in Rio.

Many thanks to all and looking forward to have CCGrid keeping this recipe
of success by clustering (and griding ?) good people.

Kind regards
