CALL FOR POSTERS:
The TCPP PhD Forum is an opportunity for current graduate students
in the broad area of parallel and distributed processing to present
posters describing their ongoing dissertation and to discuss their
research with experts in academia and industry. The Forum was
initiated at last year's IPDPS and received a tremendous response.
Of the 74 submissions, 36 were selected for poster presentation and,
thanks to NSF support, TCPP furnished travel grants to 24 students.
During the main conference, two "Best Poster" awards were
presented. We plan to again offer travel support, based on available
resources, and to select a "Best Poster" for award at the end of the
Forum.

TCPP PhD Forum @ IPDPS-08: Thu, April 17, 2008
-
There was an overwhelming response to the inaugural TCPP PhD Forum at IPDPS-08. We had 74 submissions, out of which 36 have been selected for poster presentations during two sessions on Thursday, April 17.
The best poster award will be announced at 6 p.m. during "meet and greet" session.
With an NSF grant, we are now able to provide travel support to two-third of these students.
Call for Proposals (closed):
In 2008, the IEEE Computer Society's Technical Committee on Parallel Processing (TCPP) launches a new event as part of its flagship conference, IPDPS. The PhD Forum will be an opportunity for graduate students to present a poster describing their proposed and/or partially completed dissertation work to a broad audience of both academic and industrial researchers and practitioners in parallel and distributed processing and related technologies. The top submissions will receive travel awards sponsored by TCPP.Objective: The objective of the PhD Forum is to help students receive expert feedback on their research thrusts, establish contacts for entering the job market and at the same time give representatives from industry and academia a preview of the upcoming developments in parallel and distributed processing and related technologies.
Event Description: The PhD Forum will be held on Thursday, April 17th, running concurrently with regular symposium technical sessions. Following the morning keynote speech, the selected participants will have posters displayed in a room adjacent to the conference break area and available all day for conference attendees to visit. Also during the day - at a time to be announced - there will a special opportunity for participants to meet conference attendees interested in learning more and to answer questions.
Submission Procedure:
-
Submit a two-page extended abstract describing the novelties and advantages of your dissertation work.
What to submit:- The submission should be prepared in a two-column, single-spaced technical paper style; include title, brief abstract, keywords, and full contact information at the top; and be typed in at least 11-point font size. Additionally, you may include as a footnote to the document's title the URL of a web page with relevant information such as dissertation proposal, or peer-reviewed research articles. The two-page document should be prepared as a PDF file and sent as an attachment in email to tcpp-ipdps08-phdforum@impact.asu.edu. The email subject should be: PhD Forum Submission - (your last name).
-
The email should contain the following information:
- your current status in the PhD program, including expected date of completion.
- The name and email contact for your advisor.
- A separate email from your PhD advisor should be sent to the same email address, stating your status in the PhD program and providing an endorsement of your submission. The subject of this email should be: PhD Forum Endorsement - (your last name).
January 31th, 2008.
