Discipline-Specific Mentoring Workshops (DSW)
Juan Gilbert, Clemson University, juan@clemson.edu
Margaret Martonosi, Princeton University, mrm@princeton.edu
These workshops (see below) enable researchers (graduate students to senior researchers) within a particular subfield to develop collaborations and mentoring relationships. Funding is provided for most participants to attend the workshop and prospective workshop organizers can apply for funds to host a workshop at their institution.

Application deadline January 23rd! As a joint effort of the Computing Research Association’s Committee on the Status of Women (CRA-W) and the Coalition to Diversify Computing (CDC), we are organizing a workshop in Programming Languages, Operating Systems, & Architecture to be held together with ASPLOS. The workshop is particularly targeted at women and under-represented minority graduate students and early-career faculty with research interests in programming languages, operating systems, & architecture. Through technical panel sessions with academic and industry leaders, as well as other informal activities, the workshop will provide mentoring to support participants in achieving their career goals. A webpage with a tentative schedule and the application form is now available on the web page:http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/mckinley/plosa-craw-2009/. We will provide reasonable travel support for participants. There is no charge for the workshop.
Feel free to email the workshop organizers with questions or to donate support: Hillery Hunter (hhunter@us.ibm.com), Dilma M Da silva (dilmasilva@us.ibm.com), or Kathryn McKinley (mckinley@cs.utexas.edu).
CRA-W/CDC Computer Architecture Summer School
Margaret Martonosi, Princeton University, mrm@princeton.edu, 2007 Workshop
Iris Bahar, Brown University, iris@lems.brown.edu, 2008 Workshop
This two-day workshop is focused on computer architecture–with a particular emphasis on the emerging prevalence of parallel computing–is targeted in particular for undergraduate women and under-represented minorities currently enrolled as juniors or seniors in computer science or computer engineering programs. Students will be reimbursed for all reasonable travel expenses. There is no charge for the workshop. Anyone may apply to the workshop, but first priority will be given to women and under-represented minority applicants.
Applications are due June 1st, 2008.

The purpose of the CDC/CRA-W Systems Research Mentoring Workshop (June 16-18, 2008, University of Delaware) is to encourage women and minority computer science/engineering students to obtain a Ph.D. in computer science. The workshop has a strong focus on undergraduates and also graduate students who are enrolled in MS programs. Topics will include information about work being done in several areas of systems research and mentoring with respect to helping students prepare for and apply to graduate school. The workshop will feature leaders in computer systems research from academia and industry to share their expertise in the kind of research typically performed after obtaining a Ph.D. Students who participate will be reimbursed for all reasonable travel expenses.
Application Deadline: April 1, 2008
