[vtkusers] VMASC Modeling, Simulation & Visualization Student Capstone Conference 2012 - reminder & looking for reviewers

[Audette, Michel A.]

Dear fellow VTK users and developers,

The Virginia Modeling, Analysis and Simulation Center is preparing its 6th annual Modeling, Simulation & Visualization Student Capstone Conference on Thursday, April 19, 2012. Paper submission opened on December 5th, 2011 and closes March 9th, 2012. Papers will be accepted as oral or poster presentations.

Traditionally, the Capstone Conference has featured students in Modeling and Simulation undergraduate & graduate degree programs from several colleges or universities. Students presented their research to an audience of fellow students, faculty, judges, and other distinguished guests.

For the students, these presentations afford them the opportunity to impart their innovative research to members of the modeling and simulation community from academic, industry, and government backgrounds. The MS&V Student Capstone Conference offers nine presentation tracks this year, each track assigned judges who selected the top three papers for each track.

All Students are required to submit a 250-word abstract and a paper 6-8 pages in length. Students should be the primary authors of the paper. Papers cannot be published or previously presented. Invited Presentations: Students who would like to submit a paper that has been recently published and/or presented may request an "Invitation to Present at the Student Capstone Conference" from the Track Chair.

There will be a Career Fair associated with the conference where VMASC industry members and others will have a table/booth.

I believe that graduate and undergraduate visualization projects based on VTK are a tremendous fit for this conference. In addition, I am co-chairing the Medical M&S Track, and I am looking for senior researchers who would consider serving as reviewers for student papers submitted to it.

In addition, if any senior researcher in visualization is interested in serving as a reviewer, please contact me. 

Thanks for your kind consideration.

Best wishes,

Michel
