HiPEAC '12: Poster Session
A poster can be presented by checking a box and filling a poster title on the registration page!
If your research area is in architectures or compilers for high performance or embedded computing, you must have heard about the exciting new conference model that we are implementing in HiPEAC. First of all, we have completely outsourced the paper selection process for the main conference track to ACM TACO. This resulted in many more submitted papers and higher quality accepted papers than previous years. Most accepted papers went through two solid review rounds, and both the reviewers and authors agree that the quality of the final version of the papers is much higher compared to the quality of the original submissions. All accepted papers will be presented at the main conference track. The chairs of the conference are convinced that this model offers so many advantages that it is here to stay.
Parallel with the main track of the conference, there will be over 20 workshops and tutorials. Attendees are free to attend any of them, actually composing their personalized conference program. By efficiently packing so many activities in three days, we want to make this conference into an efficient networking event.
On top of all that, we added a completely new concept --- THE POSTER SESSIONS.
All participants can present their work during a huge poster session on the first day (Monday, during the evening cocktail). If you are a professor or independent researcher, we strongly encourage you to participate in the conference poster sessions or send your students to present their work during this poster session (posters are neither reviewed, nor published, so even work in progress can be presented). Doing so has two benefits: (i) You can get useful feedback from the people stopping by your poster. It might even mark the beginning of a future collaboration. (ii) This poster session has been announced to many companies and projects as a recruitment event. Hence, if you are a last year PhD student or postdoc, expect them to come to you and to offer you a job.
During the second day, companies will present their products and services, and during the third day, EU projects will present their results. These two poster sessions offer you additional opportunities to learn more about them. Many companies and projects are currently hiring. This is a unique opportunity to find a dream job in industry, or in academia.
As you can see, we want this conference to be far more than just a place where you present your work, or where you learn more about other people’s research. We really want to make it into a networking event that can impact the careers of many students as well as independent researchers. We hope that this model can convince you to attend the conference and to present a poster on Monday evening.
Posters can be up to A0 format and preferably with a portrait layout.(5 ft by 3)
A poster can be presented by checking a box and filling a poster title on the registration page!
To encourage high quality poster presentations, we will select 8 of the best student posters and will announce the winners on Tue during lunch. Each winner will be awarded 250€ of his or her student registration fees!
