Student Workshop

Call For Papers

The CoNEXT 2007 Student Workshop, following in the footsteps of the well-received CoNEXT'06 Student Workshop, aims to provide a platform for graduate students in the areas of computer networks and data communication to publicize their ongoing research work through posters, obtain feedback and learn what problems are being tackled by fellow students. More importantly, it also provides a venue for them to "network" with their peers and established network researchers, obtain valuable guidance and tips in the form of informative panels and participate in a forum designed specifically to benefit graduate students.

We invite submission of 1-2 page abstracts from graduate students worldwide describing their ongoing research work for potential presentation at the CoNEXT 2007 Student Workshop (please see the CoNEXT 2007 CFP for a list of topics). As always, research work that addressses non-standard or controversial problems and approaches are particularly encouraged, even if they are only in a nascent stage. Please use the standard ACM format (single spaced, double column, at least 10 pt) for composition of the abstracts (see below for further instructions). Selected abstracts will appear in the CoNEXT 2007 proceedings and the related posters displayed in the workshop program.

Please e-mail any of the student workshop program chairs (listed below) in case of questions or clarifications.

Student Travel Grants

Several student travel grants, courtesy of NSF, Cisco and Thomson, will be provided to help support selected graduate students to attend the CoNEXT 2007 workshop and conference in New York.
