Doctoral Showcase Program

Applications for Doctoral Showcase closed August 21, 2015. 

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.D.s.

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.
