Student Research
Extravaganza |
Students will have the opportunity to hear short presentations from experts in
the field about AOSD research directions, and to present their own work as a
poster. This event is an excellent opportunity for students to get feedback on
their work from leaders in the field, and to mingle with other students. All
students are welcome.
This event has three overlapping goals:
1. Provide a venue for students to vet research
ideas and directions with experts in the field
2. Expose students to possible research
directions
3. Allow students to get to know
each other
|
|
Format |
We will start with some brief presentations from experts in the field about
where AOSD is heading, and interesting open problems. Then, we will divide the
room into interest areas. Students who have brought a poster will have been
assigned a space in the appropriate interest area. We will ask the students to
present their poster to experts in the area who will circulate around the
interest areas. Interesting discussions can then continue over refreshments.
We intend to have some space available during the conference the following day
for some of the posters to be available for viewing.

participate. Students wishing to present a poster must register by
