Daniel S. Katz, CS research professor and NCSA chief scientist, moderated the Research Software Alliance (ReSA) and CHORUS Forum which explored embedding research software in scholarly publishing. Katz underscored that "research software has become a foundational component of modern research, and improving its discoverability, citation, preservation and reproducibility requires coordinated action across the research ecosystem." The forum brought together publishers, funders, infrastructure providers, software researchers, engineers, and open science leaders to discuss how research software can be more effectively integrated into scholarly publishing. 

Bill Gropp, CS professor and Grainger Distinguished Chair in Engineering, was invited to present a keynote speech at the 35th ACM International Symposium on High-Performance Parallel and Distributed Computing (HPDC). Gropp's talk was on "Misconceptions in Parallel Computing." HPDC is the premier annual conference for presenting the latest research on the design, implementation, evaluation and the use of parallel and distributed systems for high-end computing. Gropp's groundbreaking and extensive career was recently celebrated at Siebel School.
