PhD Colloquium

Submission

March 25, 2022: Submissions are now open through EasyChair.

This year we will be accepting extended-abstract submissions of doctoral work in simulation and modeling research areas. Abstracts accepted to the colloquium will be published in the conference proceedings, giving students a citable publication. We highly encourage any researchers in SIGSIM-PADS associated topic areas to recommend their students apply as this provides them with a number of opportunities:

• Experience with presenting their own research with colleagues in a conference setting
• A platform for receiving feedback and thoughts on their work
• A citable document to get their ideas and preliminary research out to the community
• A free one-year student membership to ACM SIGSIM
• Winning submission for the Best Abstract/Presentation will receive a certificate and a cash prize.

The organizing committee has decided to move the 2022 ACM SIGSIM-PADS conference to a virtual format. Students with accepted submissions will be expected to present their work at the Ph.D. Colloquium during the conference discussing their current and future work. Abstract submissions with co-authorship on existing regular-track submissions are allowed in the colloquium but we ask that the format/content be different enough to act as a standalone work.

Submission Format:

Two pages maximum, single-column, including references, using the template for ACM TAPS workflow (MS Word or Latex) https://authors.acm.org/proceedings/production-information/taps-production-workflow

Important Notes:

• Please do not modify the font sizes, line spacing, or margin sizes from the template
• Your final camera-ready submission should also include the copyright information received from the eRights process.
• To make it easier to fit into two pages, the following template blocks are OPTIONAL:
  • CCS Concepts
  • Keywords
  • ACM Reference Format

For LaTeX users, to remove the ACM Reference Format block, if desired, include the following in your document preamble:

\settopmatter{printacmref=false}
