Phil and PhD intake for the academic year 2009 in the areas of all life science areas. A maximum of 30 persons will be entertained for the on campus programme and 45 persons for off campus programme. ABOUT THE PROGRAMM: The intensity of the Program demands energy and zeal in the pursuit of greater understanding, and a willingness to master the behavioral, scientific, Biological and mathematical sciences that are the essential components of academic research in Life science disciplines. Each student in the Program chooses to concentrate in one of different available fields of study. Field selection=97and later, dissertation advisor or guide,=97play a key role in guiding students through the Program. Such preparation reaches its culmination in the original research presented in a candidate's doctoral dissertation, and conferral of the Ph.D. in Life Science areas signifies that he or she has attained expert competence in a major field of study of life. Although a student's primary coursework and research activities are concentrated in the field of specialization, this does not limit the range of a student's study; cross-disciplinary study is frequent and encouraged.

IMPORTANT DATES: March 11, 2009: Extended deadline for Submission of papers (about 5 to 7 pages) April 9, 2009: Notification of acceptance May 1, 2009: Camera-Ready papers and Registration due July 13-16, 2009: The 2009 World Congress in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, and Applied Computing (WORLDCOMP'09 - 22 joint conferences) TUTORIALS: 12 to 15 tutorials are currently being planned - all tutorials are free to conference registrants. Tutorial subjects include: various aspects of supercomputing (parallel and distributed systems and processing), visualization, preparation for teaching online courses, various areas of security, sensor networks, bioinformatics for computer scientists, web services for mobile and wireless systems, ABET accreditation as it relates to computing, inverse problems in computer vision, data mining, ... PURPOSE / HISTORY: This set of joint conferences is the largest annual gathering of researchers in computer science, computer engineering and applied computing. Many of the joint conferences in WORLDCOMP are the premier conferences for presentation of advances in their respective fields. We anticipate to have 2,400 or more attendees from over 85 countries participating in the 2009 joint conferences. WORLDCOMP'09 will be composed of research presentations, keynote lectures, invited presentations, tutorials, panel discussions, and poster presentations. In recent past, keynote and/or tutorial speakers included: Prof. David A. Patterson (U. of California, Berkeley); Prof. Michael J. Flynn (Stanford U.); Prof. John H. Holland (U. of Michigan, Ann Arbor); Prof. H. J. Siegel (Colorado State U.); Prof. Barry Vercoe (MIT); Prof. Ruzena Bajcsy (U. of California, Berkeley); Prof. Jun Liu (Harvard U.); Dr. Jim Gettys (OLPC + developer of X Window); and many other distinguished speakers. For this year's conference, the keynote speakers include: Prof. Ian Foster (Father of Grid Computing), Dr. Eric Drexler (Father of Nanotechnology), Prof. Brian Athey (Head, NIH National Center for Computational Medicine & Biology), Dr. Jose Munoz (Deputy Director, National Science Foundation Office of Cyberinfrastructure), and many other distinguished speakers. The motivation is to assemble a spectrum of affiliated research conferences into a coordinated research meeting held in a common place at a common time. The main goal is to provide a forum for exchange of ideas in a number of research areas that interact. The model used to form these annual conferences facilitates communication among researchers from all over the world in different fields of computer science, computer engineering and applied computing. Both inward research (core areas of computer science and engineering) and outward research (multi-disciplinary, inter-disciplinary, and applications) will be covered during the conferences. LOCATION OF CONFERENCES: The conferences will be held in the Monte Carlo hotel, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA (with any overflows at other near-by hotels). This is a mega hotel with excellent conference facilities and over 3,000 rooms. It is minutes from the airport with 24-hour shuttle service to and from the airport. This hotel has many recreational attractions, including: waterfalls, spa, pools, sunning decks, Easy River, wave pool, lighted tennis courts, health spa, nightly shows, a number of restaurants, ... The negotiated room rate for conference attendees is very reasonable. The hotel is within walking distance from most other attractions (recreational destinations, Golf courses, ...) =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= This email was sent to: bioforum@magpie.bio.indiana.edu To opt out of this email list: http://worldcomp.cviog.uga.edu/cgi-bin/rm/full.cgi?F46C9AF6-F790-11DD-B555-8A525505B41B
