Student Research Symposium

31^st IEEE International Conference on High Performance Computing, Data, & Analytics

Overview of Student Research Symposium (SRS) @ HiPC 2024

Now accepting submissions till Oct 10, 2024 (AOE)!

HiPC 2024 will feature the 16th Student Research Symposium (SRS) on High-Performance Computing, Data, and Analytics (HPC), aimed at stimulating and fostering student research and providing an international forum to highlight student research accomplishments. The symposium will be an integrated part of the main HiPC conference aiming to expose students to the best practices in HPC in academia and industry.

The symposium will feature student posters and provide students with other enriching experiences, such as workshops, industry exhibits, and demos. In 2024, SRS will comprise mentoring sessions, a special keynote speech, an expert panel discussion, and lightning talks. The Conference Reception and multiple Student Symposium Poster Exhibit sessions will allow students to interact with HPC researchers and practitioners (and recruiters) from academia and industry.

HiPC will provide limited travel support to one author of selected posters. Awards for Best Poster will be presented at the symposium. An online book containing the resumes of the students participating in the symposium will be compiled and made available to the sponsors of the HiPC 2024 conference to be held between Dec 18th and 21st in Bengaluru, India.

A two-page abstract of the selected posters will be published in the HiPC Workshop proceedings in IEEE Xplore. This will provide students with the flexibility to publish an extended version of their paper at other venues after benefiting from reviewer feedback. The papers are reviewed by at least three independent reviewers. Papers will be judged on technical merit, quality, relevance to the symposium, and related parameters. Plagiarism is prohibited in any form, especially verbatim reproduction from other published works. Plagiarized papers will be rejected, and the corresponding department and institution will be notified.

As per IEEE guidelines, the use of artificial intelligence (AI)–generated text in an article needs to be disclosed in the acknowledgements section of any submitted paper. The sections of the paper that use AI-generated text should have a citation to the AI system used to generate the text. For more information, please click here.

Facilities for displaying posters will be made available, and the exact specifications of the poster size will be provided later. At least one student author of each accepted paper must register and attend the conference to present their work. Papers with no- shows will be retroactively rejected.

TRAVEL SUPPORT:

HiPC will provide a limited travel scholarship to at least one student author of each accepted submission from an Indian university. There may be a small number of travel scholarships for international student authors. This scholarship will cover partial expenses for attending the conference. To get reimbursement of travel support, SRS organizers expect the selected students to attend the entire conference along with the SRS-specific activities. Further details on this scholarship and the application process will be provided later.

MENTORING SESSION:

Mentoring will be organized for the students selected for SRS, where the students will get an opportunity to meet senior researchers attending the HiPC conference. These mentoring sessions include a panel of experts providing their experiences in research and a lunch where a mentor will be matched with students. More mentoring opportunities are being planned for SRS students to get guidance in the world of R&D in high-performance computing.
