Call for Student Research Posters

HPDC and SIGMETRICS encourage to submit poster proposals aimed at showcasing the "work-in-progress" of students attending the two conferences. The goal of the poster session is to present students' research, provide an opportunity for informal discussion and facilitate interaction between members of the two communities. Posters will be presented on the evening of Wednesday, June 8th.

The primary author(s) of the poster must be a student. Posters will be reviewed by members of the HPDC and SIGMETRICS organization committees. At the event, posters must be presented by a student. Authors of accepted papers must not submit a poster of the work they present in the conference or affiliated workshops. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

  • Applications of parallel, distributed, and cloud computing
  • Resource management, scheduling and load-balancing
  • Performance modeling, simulation, measurement and prediction
  • Network architectures, topology and routing, wireless networks
  • Systems, networks, and architectures for high end computing
