CALL FOR PAPERS

We invite faculty (accompanied with 1-2 student(s)) in any college in India to write a 2 page proposal on a research problem they would like to solve. This can be in the form of a short “work in progress paper” or a "position paper". The proposal should include (1) a problem description, (2) novelty of the problem and existing related literature, (3) the technical solution proposed to be used and its impact, (4) prior preparation/work in progress, and (5) the mentorship required.

Topics include but not limited to:

• Design of Parallel and Distributed Algorithms
• Power and Energy Efficient Algorithms
• Parallel Algorithms for Numerical Linear Algebra
• Load Balancing, Scheduling and Resource Management
• Parallel Graph Algorithms
• Algorithms for Combinatorial and Scientific Computing
• Concurrent Data Structures
• Parallel Algorithms for Computational Biology
• Interconnection Networks, Cache/Memory Architectures for High Performance Computing
• High Performance/Scalable Storage Systems
• Power-Efficient and Reconfigurable Architectures
• Resilient and Fault Tolerant Architectures
• Hardware Acceleration for Parallel Applications
• Parallelism in Scientific Data Visualization
• Compiler Technologies for High-Performance Computing
• Exascale Computing, Cloud Platforms, Data Center Architectures and Services
• Parallel Languages, Programming Environments, and Performance Assessment
• Big Data platforms and Systems

Your proposal will be evaluated by a small committee and teams whose proposals that are found suitable will be invited to attend the IndoSys symposium.

Faculty whose proposals are accepted for this program are required to attend the Indosys workshop during 08th-09th September, 2018 at IIT Hyderabad. The team is expected to present their problem idea in a short 10 minute presentation, followed by a 10 minute discussion. Based on the problem area, you will be assigned a mentor(s) for further discussion of the topic and refinement. Promising topics will be assigned mentors for long-term support who will guide and shepherd the research progress. You will discuss with your mentor(s) to come up with timelines and logistics.

Faculty are strongly encouraged to bring with them their research scholars or students being guided (maximum 2). However, students alone, unaccompanied by faculty, are not permitted.

We invite Short Research Papers, papers describing Work-in-Progress, or Position Papers need to describe an innovative solution, or in-progress solution, or a research idea of merit, in the areas of interest.

SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS

Submitted manuscripts should be in the IEEE double-column conference format and may not exceed 4 pages including figures, tables and references. Click here to download the necessary style files. Manuscripts are to be submitted electronically via the Easychair website via this link. The submission system only accepts PDF files.

REGISTRATION

Registration is through two modes: Author registration and participant registration.

• Author Registration is only open to authors which have submitted papers and that have been accepted. At least one author for each accepted paper MUST register and present the paper. (This is closed.)
• Participant Registration is open to any interested audience, like faculty/students of CS teaching institutions. Attendees can register for the symposium through the following link: Registration page (Link active!)

IndoSys charges a nominal registration fee to cover basic costs, thanks to our sponsors and volunteers. Hence, due to the limited seats available and in the spirit of broader research participation, we will review your registration information and respond within 48 hours with a confirmation.

NOTE : Registration is not complete and accepted until you receive a confirmation email.

Participants will be responsible for making travel and lodging arrangements.

CALL FOR TUTORIAL PROPOSALS

We solicit tutorial proposals on effective teaching methodologies and courses, open source systems tools, building state-of-the-art research activities, and on soft skills such as technical writing, and effective presentation of research ideas. Tutorials will be 2 hours long. Tutorial proposal should by up to 2 pages long and provide information on the title and abstract, who organizers are and their experience, goals of the tutorial, types of target audience (researchers, faculty, students, practitioners, etc.), topics to be covered, format (hands on activity, presentation, etc.), and facilities and equipment required. The page limit for tutorial proposals is 2 pages. Proposals for tutorials can be submitted by email to indosysconference@gmail.com.
