ISC 2019 Call for PhD Forum

Topics may range from performance analysis to optimization, from tools to applications, and from software engineering to hardware architectures, with a cross-cut on reproducible and open-science research. Essentially, all areas covered in the call for research papers are also accepted for the PhD Forum submissions. We strongly encourage submissions by students in an early phase of their PhD track.

AWARD

After the poster session, the PhD Forum Program Committee will elect one student to receive the "ISC 2019 PhD Forum Award”. The award is sponsored by Springer, the international publisher specializing in science, technology and medicine. The winner will receive a high-end tablet from Springer.

TRAVEL SUPPORT

All PhD Forum presenters are eligible to receive travel support. The funding is provided by the DFG priority program 1648 "Software for Exascale Computing" (SPPEXA). A total of 4,500 euros will be distributed fairly according to the number of presenters and the regions of residence.
