Subject: [SIGMM] Call for application: the 4th IBM "Watson Emerging leadersin Multimedia" Workshop



The IBM Watson “Emerging Leaders in Multimedia” workshop series is an annual event organized to recognize outstanding student researchers in the multimedia area. We are currently inviting student applications for the fourth workshop in this series. This is a two day event that will be held on October 16 and 17, 2008 at the IBM T. J. Watson Research Center in Hawthorne, New York. The workshop will consist of student research presentations, demonstrations of multimedia projects currently underway at IBM, and several interactive sessions among students and researchers on open and emerging problems in the field and exciting directions for future research. Please visit the following website http://reswats1.research.ibm.com/comm/research_edit.nsf/pages/r.multimedia.workshop2008.html for more information. 

We plan to invite 8 exceptional graduate students working in these areas to visit our labs(expenses covered by IBM), present their research, and learn about the state-of-the art industrial media research at this workshop. We encourage mid to senior level graduate PhD. students from CS, EE, ECE, and all other relevant disciplines to apply. The application package should include a short (2-3 paragraphs) abstract that describes the student's current research, an up to date resume with a list of publications, and a letter of support from the student's thesis advisor. Additional supporting material is optional. 
Please submit your applications by August 24, 2008 to Gayathri Shaikh (g3 at us.ibm.com) or Ying Li (yingli at us.ibm.com).
