DARPA SPONSORED GRADUATE RESEARCH ASSISTANTSHIPS IN PARALLEL PROCESSING The University of Maryland's Institute for Advanced Computer Studies and Center for Automation Research are soliciting applications from qualified graduate students for research assistantships in parallel processing. These assistantships are made available by funds provided by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency's (DARPA) Information Science Technology Office through a contract from NASA Ames Research Center. Proposals can address either fundamental issues in parallel processing (e.g. architectures, algorithms, programming languages, performance evaluation, etc.) or significant appli- cations of parallel processing. Research proposals that have an experimental component will be given highest consideration for funding. Awards will be made for one year of support, with possible extension to a second year based on progress made during the first year. Funds will be provided as part of the award to the student's university for salary, tuition, and benefits. The University of Maryland will provide direct travel support to an annual workshop held in conjunction with the program at which students will deliver papers describing their research and interact with leading scientists and engineers in parallel processing. If requested, students will be provided with free access to the University of Maryland's Connection Machine II. Applications are solicited for June 1989 funding. Only one student per department will be funded. WHO CAN APPLY Applicants must be: * U.S. citizens and * doctoral students who have completed all course work and preliminary exam requirements. HOW TO APPLY Applications (3 copies) should be submitted to Prof. Larry Davis, Director, UMIACS, University of Maryland, College Park, MD 20742 by January 26, 1989. An application consists of: * a short research proposal (at most 3 single spaced typewritten pages) * a budget endorsed by an appropriate official at the student's university. (The budget should only include salary, tuition, benefits and overhead, if charged.) * a letter of support from the student's faculty advisor who will serve as principal investigator * curricula vitae of the student and advisor FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (contact) Ms. Johanna Weinstein UMIACS University of Maryland College Park, MD 20742-3251 301/454-1808 johanna@umiacs.umd.edu ===================================================================== Originator: Steve Miller Manager, General Computer Facilities University of Maryland Institute For Advanced Computer Studies Spoken: Steve Miller Domain: steve@umiacs.umd.edu UUCP: uunet!mimsy!steve Phone: +1-301-454-1808 USPS: UMIACS, Univ. of Maryland, College Park, MD 20742
