CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
=====================================
Fourth NICTA Software Systems Summer School
http://ssrg.nicta.com.au/Events/summer/16
=====================================
Supported by: ANU and UNSW
Over two days, this summer school will feature lectures by international leaders in
computer systems from industry and academia, interspersed with short student talks and
poster sessions. We will emphasise a friendly and informal setting where students can
learn and obtain feedback from experts. Topics include operating systems, hypervisors,
virtual machines, databases, compilers, language implementation, memory management and
security.
Research students may apply for participation by submitting a summary (of no more than
half a page) on their research interests, indicating how it overlaps with the topic of the
summer school. They may also indicate that they would like to give a short talk, although
the organisers will only select a small number of student presentations. All attending
students will be able to present a poster, and are strongly encouraged to use this
opportunity to get feedback from world leaders!.
We will also consider submissions from final-stage undergraduate students, post-docs or
academic staff, provided they explain the benefits they expect from attendance.Supervisors
of attending students are particularly welcome to attend.
All submitted material must fit on a single A4 page.
COST
Attendance is free, but subject to invitation based on the submitted abstract. We will
rarely reject an application from a student. Registration includes free lunches and coffee
breaks during the summer school, as well as a dinner on the evening of the first day.
A limited amount of travel support will be available for students from outside NSW and the
ACT. Students requesting travel support must submit a brief justification with their
application. Travel support will only be available for students from Australia and New
Zealand, and will not exceed the cheapest airfare from their nearest major airport to
Sydney. Funds for this are limited, and we will give priority to students likely to
benefit most from the summer school, i.e. students whose research is most aligned with the
topic.
LOCATION
The workshop and associated activities will be held in the Computer Science &
Engineering building on the UNSW Kensington (main) campus in Sydney.
KEY DATES
Abstracts Due: Monday, 23 November, 2015, via the SSSS'16 submission site
Notification: Friday, 20 November, 2015
Early applications will be notified earlier to help you with planning.
ACCOMMODATION
For participants from outside Sydney we are holding a limited number of inexpensive rooms
at a college on campus. These must be booked (and deposit paid) by the end of November.
Latecomers will have to find their own accommodations (there are other colleges and
backpacker hostels nearby).
