IPDPS 2024 PhD Forum - CALL FOR APPLICATIONS

Background
The IPDPS PhD Forum focuses on current graduate students working toward a PhD in broadly defined areas related to parallel and distributed processing. Previous IPDPS PhD forums have offered graduate students an opportunity to present a research poster describing their ongoing research to the entire IPDPS conference audience, and to discuss their research with experts in academia and industry, and to make useful contacts regarding future career opportunities.

PhD Forum Program
At IPDPS 2024 in San Francisco, we will continue with this tradition of poster presentation. Participating students will have the opportunity to both present their research work and interact with senior academic and industry people in an informal setting. In addition, there will be mentoring sessions to help students improve communication skills, obtain valuable information for career planning, get familiar with a few of the trendy research topics, and make valuable contacts – all while enjoying the IPDPS main conference and many associated workshops. The program will culminate with a poster presentation, where students will have the opportunity to practice what they learned and disseminate their work to the broader IPDPS audience.

Who Should Apply
Applicant students must be officially enrolled in a PhD Program at the time of submission, and each submission MUST be backed by a specific endorsement from the official PhD advisor(s) as specified in item 3 below. Masters students on track to enter a PhD program may apply but should meet the same standards as other applicants.

What/Where to Submit Application
Go to web page here for details and to submit application.

The web page provides instructions for applicants to prepare a submission document that addresses items 1 & 2 below. Applicants should arrange for item 3 – advisor statement of support – to be emailed by the time they submit their application.

1. Applicant Statement of Interest
2. Poster Proposal Text
3. Advisor Statement of Support

Important Dates
The goal is to accept as many applications as our capacity allows, but the availability of our resources, as well as other screening factors, will limit the number of participants in the program.  To be fair, we will employ a “first-come-first-served” approach, with a rolling selection process to be used until the capacity is reached, based on the following schedule:

Application received by                     Acceptance notice will be sent by
29-Feb-2024                                 10-Mar-2024
15-Mar-2023                                 25-Mar-2023
31-March-2023                               10-April-2023

Review of Applications
A committee drawn from the IPDPS community and representative of the different areas of research that the conference embraces will review the applications in concert with the PhD Forum chairs. By submitting an application, the student is making a commitment to prepare and attend the conference in order to present a poster and participate in the mentoring and networking opportunities afforded by the conference.

The Student Research Program will be scheduled so that the participating students can follow all the main scientific and social events of the conference, and it is open to all students, including the authors of papers presented at the conference. The conference will publish abstracts for the posters accepted for presentation at the PhD Forum. These will be included as part of the conference workshops proceedings (IPDPSW 2024). The abstracts will be formatted as part of a compendium that includes contact information for the poster authors and advisors.
