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.
KEY DATES
- Submission site open: November 17, 2008
- Submission deadline: December 15, 2008
- Acceptance notification: January 15, 2009
- Camera-ready summary (optional): February 15, 2009
WHAT/WHERE TO SUBMIT
To apply for the 2009 Forum, students must submit a 4-page summary of their PhD research or dissertation proposal prior to December 15th (firm deadline). Each submission will have a PhD student as the sole author or as the primary author with his/her thesis advisor(s) and should contain the following points:
- description of the problem, of the proposed approach, and of the research methodology adopted;
- significance of the research and its relevance to parallel and distributed processing in the broader sense (see link* below);
- related work and their shortcomings; and
- results obtained so far, remaining objectives and challenges.
Submissions will be evaluated by a committee chaired by Yves Robert, ENS Lyon, and decisions will be sent by January 15, 2009. Successful students may, if they wish, submit a one-page, camera-ready summary, which will appear in the conference proceedings. Students who presented last year are asked not to submit to this year's forum. To submit your summary, click here which will take you to EDAS where you should select "Submit Paper" and then "TCPP-PhD-Forum09" and follow instructions.

ABOUT TCPP
The IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Parallel Processing (TCPP) acts as an international forum to promote parallel processing research and education and participates in setting up technical standards in this area. Issues related to the design, analysis and implementation of parallel systems and solutions are of interest. These include design and analysis of parallel architectures and algorithms, and application development on parallel machines. TCPP sponsors professional meetings, brings out publications, sets guidelines for educational programs, and coordinates academia, funding agency, and industry activities in the above areas.
