Supported by Intel India
HiPC is the premier computer systems conference in India,
emphasizing the areas of Computer Architecture, Systems Software, Applications,
Algorithms, and Communication Networks. This year's conference is being
held in Hyderabad from the 17th to the 20th of December. The conference
features Keynote Speeches and Invited Paper Presentations by world's leading
researchers, Tutorials on the state-of-the-art technologies, Workshops,
Presentation stalls by industry and academia, besides an excellent set
of contributed papers in five sessions.
We would like to encourage the best students studying at engineering
colleges in India to attend the conference, through travel scholarships
provided on a merit basis. The conference will provide students an exposure
to the research going on at various places worldwide, as well as an opportunity
to meet a number of leading researchers in the computing area. We hope
this will help those students who desire to continue their post-graduate
education, as well as those who are already a graduate student.
We are therefore pleased to announce the HiPC 2001 Travel Scholarship
scheme. The scholarships are sponsored by Intel
India. Under this scheme, the conference will take care of travel and
hostel accomodation for the selected students. In particular, the scholarship
will include:
1. Two-way second/sleeper class train fare between your
college or home and Hyderabad.
2. Free hostel accommodation in Hyderabad.
Selected students will have to register for the conference, though at
a highly subsidised rate. (For comparison, the regular advance registration
for the conference costs, Rs. 16,500. Advance registration for students
in India will cost only Rs. 1,000.) The special rates have been made possible
by sponsorships from Tata Consultancy Services
. The student registration at the conference includes:
1.Participation in workshops on 17th December.
2.Participation in all technical sessions on 18-20th December.
3.Participation in one tutorial on 17th December.
4.Conference lunches, refreshments, banquets, and the
cultural
event.
5.Conference proceedings will be available online.
To apply for the scholarship, please send your bio-data by email (preferably
plain text) to Prof. Dheeraj Sanghi at IIT-Kanpur.
The scholarships are very competetive, will be awarded on the basis of
merit. However your grades will not be the only criterion for deciding.
Please submit any details about you that will convince the organizers about
your research interest and abilities.
In particular, please mention in your email:
1. What other conferences/workshops you have attended so
far. Did you present any paper,
or participate in the poster
sessions. If yes, then details.
2. Have you written any paper in any magazine/journal
or
published any technical report.
If yes, then details.
Also, please mention the following in your application:
1. Do you need accomodation in Hyderabad. Please note that
we will provide accomodation
to everyone who asks for it.
But we will like to know whether
you will be living with your
friends or relatives, so that
we book only the desired number
of rooms.
2. Which tutorial, in the order of preference, will you
like to
attend. Please note that first
preference in tutorial will be
given to those who are paying
full registration charges. So it is
possible that you may not get
your first choice.
The last date for application is October 15th. We shall inform
you by 25th October whether we are able to provide you with travel scholarship.
In case you are selected, you will be required to do advance registration
by 15th November. Late applications for travel scholarship may be considered
after 15th November, when we will know the final count of students. But
please note that the later registration is costlier.
