*** TYPES OF POSTERS ***
<br>
Participants submitting proceedings-published posters are required
to
<br>
submit a short paper (2 pages) describing the poster content, the
<br>
research supporting it, and the relevance and importance to the
<br>
cluster, cloud, and grid computing community. If accepted, this
short
<br>
paper will be published in the proceedings of the conference.
<br>
<br>
Participants submitting web-published posters are required to
submit a
<br>
short 1-page extended abstract. These abstracts will not be
included
<br>
in the conference proceedings.
<br>
<br>
Both proceedings-published and web-published posters will be
displayed
<br>
during the conference. We encourage accepted authors of demos to
<br>
prepare a poster to accompany their demo. All accepted posters
<br>
(including posters prepared for demos) will be posted on the
<br>
conference website.
<br>
<br>
*** DISPLAY POSTER SIZE ***
<br>
The recommended poster size is A1 (594mm by 841mm, portrait).
<br>
<br>
*** SUBMISSION GUIDELINES ***
<br>
Submitted manuscripts should be structured as technical papers and
may
<br>
not exceed 1 (web published) or 2 (proceedings published) letter
size
<br>
(8.5 x 11) pages including figures, tables and references using
the
<br>

Several travel awards are sponsored by the National Science
Foundation
<br>
for students enrolled in American institutions who participates in
the
<br>
Student Mentoring Program
<br>
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://www.mcs.anl.gov/ieeecluster2015/student-program/">http://www.mcs.anl.gov/ieeecluster2015/student-program/</a>).
Students
<br>
with accepted posters or papers must also apply to and participate
in
<br>
the Student Mentoring Program to be eligible for the travel award.
The
<br>
deadlines for the Student Mentoring Program application are at
<br>

<br>
Notice of travel awards will be made prior to the conference. The
<br>
travel awards will be distributed post-conference in the form of
<br>
reimbursements against actual travel, registration, and
accommodation
<br>
expenses submitted by the student. The travel award will be
contingent
<br>
on the participating of the awarded student in the Student
Mentoring
<br>
Program at Cluster 2015.
