IPDPS 2018 PhD Forum & Student Mentoring Program
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
*** STUDENT MENTORING PROGRAM FOR 2018 ***
The annual IPDPS PhD Forum event will continue with the traditional
poster presentations by students working toward a PhD in broadly
defined areas related to parallel and distributed processing. In
addition, continuing the program initiated in 2014, there will be a
broader, enhanced program to include several evening and lunch-time
sessions to provide the student participants coaching in scientific
writing and presentation skills.
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
culminates with a poster presentation, where students have the
opportunity to practice what they learned and disseminate their work
to the broader IPDPS audience.

*** IPDPS 2018 PhD Forum - CALL FOR APPLICATIONS ***
Because the 2018 IPDPS PhD Forum will emphasize interactive activities
and offer mentoring-coaching support, the Applicant Statement of
Interest will be as important as the poster proposal in the selection
process. 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).
Details on the submission documents are available at
DEADLINES:
The goal is to accept as many applications as our capacity allows, but
the availability of our resources, including travel support, 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
15 February 2018 ===> 1 March 2018
1 March 2018 ===> 12 March 2018
*** STUDENT TRAVEL SUPPORT ***
To encourage participation in the Student Research Program, PhD Forum
participants (those who have a poster accepted for presentation) who
are IEEE members are eligible for travel grants and discounted
registration fees. (Discounted registration fee does not apply to
students who are the sole registered author of a paper being presented
in the main conference or workshops.)
NSF Funding for US-based Students
Funds for travel support have been provided by the US National Science
Foundation (NSF). This funding is available only for full time
students attending US colleges and universities. Underrepresented
minority and women students from diverse US institutions are
particularly encouraged to apply. Although student authors may be
given priority for travel awards, this is not a requirement.
TCPP Travel Grants for All Student Authors
All participants in the IPDPS PhD Forum will be eligible for TCPP
travel grants made available to all student authors at the conference.
Note that all student attendees must have registered to be eligible
for support and must be members of IEEE.
Student travel grants are available in the form of reimbursements that
are sent only after the completion of the conference and receipt of
all required documentation and receipts. Please note that the IPDPS
PhD Forum may not be able to reimburse students for all travel
expenses due to limited budget. Eligible expenses for reimbursement
include hotel and transportation (flight, bus or train). Expenses that
are not eligible for reimbursement include registration, taxi and
meals. The reimbursement amount will be based on the number of awards
made and distance traveled. Details of all travel support that will be
available to all students will be announced in February 2018.
