2008 Student Poster Competition

This year's workshop will include a special session for poster presentations of student research projects. All students working on research related to high speed interconnects are encouraged to submit their work to be considered for this session. Professors with students working in this area are invited to encourage their students to submit posters.

Travel grants to support attendance at the conference may be available and submissions will be judged competitively for these awards. The deadline for submission is 1 April 2008 and should be made via e-mail to Samantha Blodgett in the IEEE/LEOS office at s.blodgett@ieee.org.

Submissions must be in the form of a 1-page extended abstract and optionally up to five pages of graphics and/or images that are representative of the poster content. A current resume should also be included. All submissions should be in pdf or powerpoint format. Authors will be notified by 7 April 2008 of their selection so that they may reserve accommodations before the housing deadline of 17 April 2008.

There will be a special issue of the Journal of Quantum Electronics (JQE) dedicated to the 2008 High Speed Workshop. All students selected to present a poster at this year's Workshop have the opportunity to submit a follow-up paper to be considered for publication in this prestigious LEOS journal.
