I-CARE 2011 & IBM Centennial Colloquia

IBM Research – India is pleased to announce the 3rd IBM Collaborative Academia Research Exchange (I-CARE) workshop on October 13, 2011, in New Delhi. I-CARE 2011 will be held in conjunction with IBM’s Centennial Colloquia, and will have the theme: “India 2020 – Challenges and Opportunities”.
As India continues on her growth path, there are many new opportunities and challenges related to building a better nation in a smarter and sustainable manner. This year’s I-CARE and Centennial Colloquia will provide a forum to explore new frontiers in technology to address these complex challenges and leverage new opportunities. Eminent speakers from the academia, industry and government will take part in the event, thus providing a rare opportunity to the participants to learn about various scientific and industry advancements, innovative solutions, and new research directions. I-CARE 2011 will be organized along four tracks as described below:
Track - I Smarter Cities: Solutions for energy, traffic & transportation and public safety, including sensor networks and cyber-physical systems.
Track - II Services for Emerging Countries: Innovative models and technologies for delivering services to citizens and improving services quality
Track - III Programming Languages and Software Engineering: Automated software quality tools (testing, debugging, etc.), empirical software engineering
Track - IV Next Generation Systems: High Performance Computing, scalable/distributed architectures, network/cloud computing, and data centers

Poster and Demo Submissions

Faculty members, researchers, students (graduate and undergraduate) from technical, management and design streams are encouraged to submit their abstracts (limited to two pages for each abstract), with details of the poster or demo – title, author name, author title (Faculty/Student enrolled for PhD/MTech/BTech./MBA) to the link here (link resides outside of ibm.com). Note, you need to create a login at EasyChair for submission if you don't already have it.
For each selected poster or demo, a partial travel stipend (Rs 3000/-) will be provided to out-station students (i.e., other than Delhi) to help defray workshop attendance costs (travel, lodging etc).

Submission Guidelines

All submissions will be screened by the I-CARE Program Committee. Authors of selected submissions will be invited to I-CARE for presenting the work as a poster.
All submissions should contain sufficient information for the reviewers to make a fair evaluation on how the material applies to the targeted audience. You are not expected to create a poster at this time.

Formatting Instructions

Submissions must be formatted in the ACM proceedings format, using one of the templates available at www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html (link resides outside of ibm.com). Templates are available in Word and LaTeX (version 2e). For the LaTeX formats, you may use either the standard style or the SIG-alternate style.

Page Limits

Submission Instructions

The submitted papers must be in pdf or doc (Microsoft Word) formats. It is essential that they print without difficulty on a variety of printers using Adobe Acrobat Reader or Microsoft Word. Submission should be done through EasyChair at www.easychair.org/account/signin.cgi?conf=icare2011 (link resides outside of ibm.com)

Advice on preparing the submission

Your submission will be used by the selection committee to determine if your topic is selected for poster presentation at the I-CARE. Clearly, your abstract has to be as good as it can be, but writing a good abstract is not easy. Following some simple guidelines can help you write the very best abstract possible -- one that will optimally represent your presentation, and one that will provide you the best opportunity to present to an audience at I-CARE and share your knowledge, experience, and insights. Some thoughts and suggestions for writing a compelling abstract can be found here.
