Ph.D. Student Paper Awards
The Ph.D. Colloquium & Poster Session
at WSC'09 is an exciting opportunity for Ph.D. students to
present their work to the public.
Professor Alexander Verbraeck, Delft University
of Technology and University of Maryland, will start the afternoon
off with a discussion over lunch. Students close to graduation
(planning to graduate by Dec. 2010) 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.

Poster preparation guidelines
You will be provided a 4 feet high and 8 feet wide bulletin
board. We recommend that you use approximately 4 feet X 6
feet of space for your display. There is no requirement that
you fill the board. There is also no requirement that you
print a "real" poster - printed PowerPoint slides
are perfectly acceptable. Your poster should cover the main
points of your work and be as self-explanatory as possible.
You can set up your posters at 2:00PM~2:30PM before the Ph.D.
Colloquium on Sunday.
