As many of you know, Yale turned 80 at the end of June, 2019. In honor of the occasion, BSC/UPC organized a workshop on the Campus of the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, Campus Nord on July 1, 2, 2019. The subtitle of the workshop was "Pushing the Envelope of Computing for the Future." The agenda is below, with pointers to the slides and videos of most of the talks.Note that the first day ended with a panel (link to video), and the second day ended with a roast (link to open mike).
