The ninth UK e-Science All Hands Meeting (AHM 2010) will be held at the City Hall, Cardiff, from 13-16 September 2010.

The meeting provides a forum in which information on e-Science projects from all disciplines can be communicated and where the capabilities being developed within projects can be demonstrated.

AHM 2010 will begin on Monday 13th September with a programme of mini-symposia. The main conference programme will begin on Tuesday 14th September and end on Thursday 16th September. The conference will feature presentations by groups from throughout the UK who are active in e-Science projects, as well as poster sessions, mini-workshop sessions, project demonstrations and birds-of-a-feather sessions. The schedule will also include a number of invited Keynote speakers involved in leading Grid and e-Science activities.
We hope that this schedule of activities will provide a stimulating and engaging environment.

There are several options if you wish to participate in the All Hands Meeting:

• Presentation in a parallel session
• Presentation in a workshop
  The workshop sessions are organised by individuals to bring together a number of presenters for a particular theme. AHM 2010 mini-workshop themes have yet to be decided and a call for workshops will be issued early in 2010.
• Poster Presentation
  Colleagues will have the opportunity to explain projects to the conference delegates in the poster session.
• Birds-of-a-Feather session
• Booths

These booths allow organizations to highlight their research activities, and provide a focus for software demonstrations.

In order to participate in any of these activities, you must submit a proposal to the Programme Committee. For papers and posters this will be in the form of a two-page abstract. As the number of each type of presentation is constrained, the Programme Committee will conduct a full review of submissions. A call for proposals will be issued early in 2010.  As in previous years, we have applied to the journal Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A for publication of a special issue, which would, if our application is successful, contain selected papers from AHM 2010.
