[Tccc] IPDPS 2010 PhD Forum - Submissions Open, Submission Deadline 12/14/09

IPDPS 2010 PhD Forum

The IPDPS PhD Forum focuses on current graduate students working
toward a PhD in broadly defined areas related to parallel and
distributed processing. The Forum offers them an opportunity to
present a research poster describing their ongoing dissertation to the
entire IPDPS conference audience and to discuss their research with
experts in academia and industry during the conference and to make
useful contacts regarding future applications of their work. 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.

will evaluate submissions, and decisions will be sent by January 15,
2010. Selected submissions will be prepared as posters, which will be
on display for two days of the conference. At the end of the second
day, there will be a dedicated period for conference attendees to
"walk-up-and-talk" to each PhD Forum poster presenter. Those selected
to present posters may also submit a short paper describing their work
