Student Program

Thanks to the generosity of the National Science Foundation and our Bronze and Silver sponsors we are now able to offer registration and travel scholarships.  See the website for details.  Application deadline is September 13 but we will be making decisions on awards as the applications come in so students may make travel arrangements as soon as possible - this makes it somewhat of a first-come first-served application process.  http://pti.iu.edu/ieeecluster-2013/student.php  If you are interested in mentoring a student please let me know right away.

Workshops and Tutorials

If you haven't already done so, consider attending the Monday tutorials or Friday workshops.
