Abstract
Research computing-how to respond to the increasing diverse demands for services and support for computing and networking-is commanding greater attention. Now that high-end desktop hardware is affordable and high-speed networking readily available, institutions face expanding resource demand and the need for more coordinated planning. U.S. universities are not alone in confronting this exponential demand-it is universal. This session will provide a look at how Canada, the EU, and Mexico are responding to the challenge.
