Best Ph.D. Student Paper Awards

The Ph.D. Colloquium & Poster Session at WSC'10 is an exciting opportunity for Ph.D. students to present their work to the public.

Professor Leon McGinnis from the Georgia Institute of Technology will start the afternoon off with a discussion over lunch. Students close to graduation (planning to graduate by Dec. 2011) will be given an opportunity to showcase their work during a short presentation session. All Colloquium students will then participate in the Poster Session.

Both ACM-SIGSIM and INFORMS-Sim provide a complimentary one-year membership for all students participating in the colloquium.

For students close to graduation participating in both the presentation session, and the poster session, ACM-SIGSIM and INFORMS-Sim will reimburse their conference registration fee, and their lunch at the Ph.D. Colloquium. Moreover, ACM-SIGSIM and INFORMS-Sim will each award a Best Ph.D. Student Paper Prize among those final year students making a presentation at the Ph.D. Colloquium.

Posters:

All colloquium submissions should include a brief (150-word maximum) description of the research to be presented in the Poster Session along with the names of your co-authors. A full-paper submission is not needed for participating at the colloquium. Submit your application online at this website (when you submit, select "Ph.D. Colloquium" as the track). Further guidelines on preparing your poster will be given here.

Presentations:

Final year students who wish to take part in the presentation session should have their thesis advisor send an email confirmation of the expected graduation date to the Colloquium Chair (before September 13, 2010).
