Call for Participation

The SIGDA PhD Forum at DAC will be held on Tuesday, June 8, 2004 from 6:30-8:00 p.m. at the Sails Pavilion of the San Diego Convention Center.

In a change from previous years, the forum will be held in a large hall between the exhibits and the technical conference rooms. Additionally, we have asked the students to leave their posters up through Thursday morning.

This year we had a record 136 submissions. A total of 44 students were invited to attend; 36 will present their dissertation research at the forum.
