IPDPS 2012 PhD Forum CALL FOR POSTERS
[Upcoming Deadline]: 20 January 2012 - Poster submission deadline
The IPDPS PhD Forum focuses on current graduate students working
toward a PhD in broadly defined areas related to parallel and
distributed processing. This forum at IPDPS offers graduate students
an opportunity to present a research poster describing their ongoing
dissertation to the entire IPDPS conference audience. It is also an
opportunity to discuss their research with experts in academia and
industry during the conference and to make useful contacts regarding
future career opportunities related to their research. Moreover, the
authors may describe their dissertation proposal and preliminary
results in a short paper, which will be published with the proceedings
of the IPDPS Workshops. These papers will be available through the
IEEE Computer Society Digital Library.
This event follows previous successful PhD Forums held at IPDPS since
2008 in Miami. This last year in Anchorage, twenty-seven posters were
presented and three were selected for special awards. PLEASE NOTE:
Students who had a poster selected last year for presentation are not
eligible to submit to this year's PhD Forum.

2. Description of the problem, of the proposed approach, and of the
research methodology adopted;
3. Significance of the research;
4. Related work and their shortcomings; and
5. Results obtained so far and remaining objectives and challenges.
Submit Here >> (http://edas.info/N11989)
Each submission MUST be backed by a specific endorsement of the
official PhD advisor(s), which may be in addition to the four-page
research description. This endorsement must be submitted by February
14, 2012. An endorsement is a formal letter signed by the applicant
student's PhD supervisor, stating the following:
I hereby certify that <name> is registered as a PhD student under
my supervision since <date> at <affiliation>. He/she is now working
for his/her PhD for the <nth> year. I endorse the submission of
his/her manuscript to the IPDPS 2012 PhD Forum.
The signed letter should be scanned to a pdf file and uploaded to the
EDAS site at the page of the associated submission.
REVIEW PROCESS
A scientific committee, co-chaired by Prof. Luc Boug? and Prof. Bo
Hong, will evaluate submissions. This committee will be drawn mainly
from the members of the Program Committee of the main conference and
colleagues recommended by them. Notification of committee decisions
will be sent by February 22, 2012.
POSTER PRESENTATIONS & PAPERS
The authors of selected submissions will be required to prepare a
poster, which will be displayed on the 2nd and 3rd days of the
conference. At the end of the two days of the posters being displayed,
there will be a formal session during which conference attendees may
view posters and talk one-on-one with each PhD Forum poster presenter.
Those selected to present posters may also submit a short paper
describing their work for publication in the IPDPS 2012 proceedings.
Not to exceed four (4) pages, the PhD Forum paper submission must be
prepared to conform with proceedings camera ready requirements and
submitted by February 29, 2012.
