Register for the 2001 DAC University Booth Application

The schedule for the University Booth is now full; however, if you are interested in presenting a demonstration at the booth, please feel free to register. If another group drops out, or we can manage to combine two other demonstrations, we may be able to find additional space. We are very interested in providing space for everyone, and will do our best.

The current schedule is tentative. We are adjusting this, and hope to have a firm schedule by May 1st. Travel grant awards will be made shortly before this; most groups on the schedule will receive some travel support, and we are coordinating with other programs (for example the PhD Forum) to avoid overlaps.

Fill in the blanks below to register for the University Booth; this form will also serve as an application for a travel grant. While we encourage membership in both ACM and SIGDA, it is not a requirement for presenting a booth demonstration, or for receiving a travel grant. A faculty member MUST be the primary contact and the sponsor of the graduate students listed in item 16. Graduate students cannot be listed as the primary contact. Your input will be mailed to the booth coordinator.

Vendors: please send email directly to pmadden@cs.binghamton.edu to register.

Thanks!

    Travel grants are primarily intended to support student participation at the University Booth. Exceptions for faculty are possible. Applications must be submitted by April 16th. Awards will be announced by May 1st. Late applications will be accepted, but funds may no longer be available. If you are a presenting author, please contact DAC and its travel grant program for presenting authors.

  16. Enter the names of students who will present the University Booth demonstrations. Please explain in the budget section if the application is for a faculty member.


  17. An Estimated Budget broken out by item. The travel grant only pays for actual expenses related to the demonstration at the booth. Allowable expenses include travel (typically airfare), DAC registration, hotel, and shipping of computing equipment that is not satisfied by booth equipment. Original recepts must be supplied after DAC for reimbursement. "Per diem" costs such as meals are specifically excluded from reimubursement. Travel grants may only cover part of the total budget submitted.

* The winners of the University Design Contest will be showcased at the booth.
