FINAL CALL FOR EXTENDED ABSTRACTS

*** 4th HiPC Student Research Symposium (SRS) ***
Held in conjunction with the
18th INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON HIGH PERFORMANCE COMPUTING (HIPC 2011)
December 19-22, 2011 | Bengaluru (Bangalore), INDIA | www.hipc.org
=======================================================================
OVERVIEW

The Student Research Symposium (SRS) at HiPC is organized to stimulate and
foster student engagement in high performance computing research, and to provide
an international forum to highlight student research accomplishments in HPC.
The symposium will also expose students to the latest research and best
practices in the HPC community from academia and industry.

HiPC SRS 2010 featured 17 papers and 9 posters, which were accepted from 38
submissions from five countries. Besides brief presentations and poster
exhibit by student authors, the one-day symposium this year will feature
invited talks by leading HPC researchers/practitioners. The HiPC conference
reception will provide an opportunity for students to interact with HPC
researchers and practitioners (and recruiters) from academia and industry.

We invite submission of extended research abstracts of 5 pages for the HiPC
SRS. All topics relevant to the HiPC conference are of interest to this
symposium. These include, but are not limited to:

* High-Performance Computing
* Parallel and Distributed Algorithms
* Parallel Languages and Programming Environments
* Load Balancing, Scheduling and Resource Management
* Resilient/Fault-Tolerant Algorithms and Systems
* Scientific/Engineering/Commercial Applications and Workloads
* Emerging Applications such as Biotechnology and Nanotechnology
* Cluster, Cloud, and Grid Cloud Computing
* Peer-to-peer Algorithms and Networks
* Heterogeneous Computing
* Interconnection Networks and Architectures
* Scalable Servers and Systems
* High Performance/Scalable Storage Systems
* Power-Efficient and Reconfigurable Architectures
* Compiler Technologies for High-Performance Computing
* Software Support and Advanced Micro-architecture Techniques
* Operating Systems for Scalable High-Performance Computing


IMPORTANT DATES

ABSTRACT SUBMISSION

The extended abstracts should be submitted in PDF format. The document should
be at most 5 letter size (8.5in x 11in) pages in 11 pt or 12 pt font, single
spaced, with at least one-inch margins on all sides. Please identify the names
of student authors in a footnote. If some part of your submission was published
by you previously, then you should cite your prior work and indicate how the
current submission differs from it.

Submissions will be handled electronically through EDAS at
http://edas.info/N11265. Detailed submission instructions are available at
www.hipc.org/hipc2011/studentsymposium.php

The selected extended abstracts will be published online on the conference web
site and on a CD to be distributed at the conference. They will not be part of
the official HiPC conference proceedings.

Selection will be competitive and all submissions will be reviewed.
Manuscripts will be judged on correctness, originality, technical strength,
significance, quality of presentation, and interest and relevance to the
conference attendees.

For additional details, please contact the Symposium Co-Chairs at
student_symposium AT hipc.org


ELIGIBILITY

The research work presented in the submission should primarily be the result of
student research. Accepted papers and posters should be presented by a student
author. The student author should have been a full-time student at some point
in 2011, enrolled in a Bachelors, Masters or a Ph.D. program. Non-student
co-authors are permitted.


AWARDS AND SCHOLARSHIPS

Awards for Best Poster and Best Presentation, sponsored by the IEEE Technical
Committee on Parallel Processing (TCPP) will be selected by a separate awards
committee. These are expected to include a cash component of Rs.10,000 each.

Limited scholarships in the form of travel grants to cover part or all of
travel, boarding and registration are available to authors of accepted
papers. Student authors of the top few submissions at the symposium will be
assured of a travel scholarship.

A book containing the resumes of the students participating in the symposium
will be compiled and made available to the sponsors of the HiPC 2011
conference.
