[Ieee_vis] SC15 Doctoral Showcase Program - EXTENDED deadline August 7

[Joshua Levine]

SC15 Doctoral Showcase Program
Applications for Doctoral Showcase close August 7th, 2015 (EXTENDED DEADLINE)


As part of the Technical Program, the Doctoral Showcase provides an
important opportunity for students near the end of their Ph.D. to
present a summary of their dissertation research in the form of short
talks and posters.  Unlike technical paper and poster presentations,
Doctoral Showcase highlights the entire contents of each dissertation,
including previously published results, to allow for a broad
perspective of the work.

Submissions will be accepted for the Dissertation Research Showcase
track for Ph.D. students who will be graduating in the next 12 months.
This track provides a venue for Ph.D. students to present a summary of
their latest and systematic dissertation research. It provides an
opportunity to educate junior graduate students working in high
performance computing areas. This program also provides an ideal
opportunity for prospective employers in academia, research
laboratories and industry to interact with prospective Ph.Ds.

Students are asked to submit a four-page summary of their research
(include research problem statement and major results/contributions),
a poster draft, and list of student's conference/journal publications
for consideration by the Doctoral Showcase committee. The authors of
the accepted submissions will be invited to give presentations at the
SC15 conference.

Submissions to this program may also be submitted to the SC15 ACM
Student Research Competition posters track or published in other
venues.

Everyone attending SC15 is encouraged to attend this program. Come to
see the latest and greatest dissertation work done by tomorrow's HPC
experts.

OpenFPGA has offered funding/honorarium for student participation, a
priority would be for work that impacts cancer research.
