Announcing the Graduate Research Conference 2012

The Computer Science Graduate Student Council (CSGSC) in conjunction with the Computer Science Department invites the graduate students to participate in the Graduate Research Conference (GRC), scheduled for March 30th, 2012 at CEWIT. This conference is designed to show off their most recent work and new results of graduate students in our department.  Students will have the opportunity to give a lightning talk and/or present a poster.

How to participate

Students will give lightning talks - a 3 minutes power point presentation to discuss something interesting.  After the talks, we have a poster session.  Your poster doesn't need to be conference quality, just putting up your slides from the talk will suffice.  The CSGSC will provide the necessary mounting materials including poster board.

During the poster session, there will be voting.  Attendees will vote with stickers.  If you garner the most votes, you will win prizes.

To register, all you need to do is send the title, abstract by March 23rd to grcsbu@gmail.com.  In the subject, please specify the title_your name_advisor's name.

The third annual Lab Cup

Applied Logic Lab last year won the inaugural Lab Cup (see here http://bit.ly/fbfl7Z).  But the FSL was not far behind, and the SPLAT lab a millimeter behind them.  The award is given to the lab that gets the most votes (normalized by the number of participants from the lab and how many students are members of the lab).  We have the greatest minds of our generation working on the most fair weighting scheme.  We encourage the faculty to get your students out so you may have this trophy reside in your lab for the next year.
