   Symposium for Graduate Research in Computer Science 2009
   "A Conference by Graduate Students for Graduate Students"

                March 27, 2009
            Raleigh, North Carolina

    http://students.engr.ncsu.edu/cscgsa/sgr/call.html



Sponsors: EMC, NetApp, and  SAS,

The goal of the 2009 Symposium for Graduate Research (SGR) is to provide
oppurtunity for graduate students to exchange ideas and results of their
research in various fields of Computer Science. It also serves as a forum
for students to strengthen their presentation skills through posters,
presentations, and demos, and receive constructive feedback from
conference attendees, faculty and industrial partners.

The SGR invites high-quality research paper submissions from graduate
students at all levels who are conducting research in all areas of
computer science. All papers will be reviewed by graduate students on the
program committee. Authors of accepted papers are expected to present
their work at the SGR and will receive additional feedback from SGR
attendees. Accepted papers will be distributed to attendees as well as
posted electronically on the SGR website with the express permission of
the authors. Authors will retain copyright of their work and accepted
papers will be considered unpublished, similar to research technical
reports. Thus, we encourage submission of accepted papers to more formal
venues in the future.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

   * Algorithms
   * Architecture
   * Artificial Intelligence
   * Compilers
   * Databases
   * Embedded Systems
   * Graphics
   * Human Computer Interaction
   * Networking
