Paper copies of Thesis/Dissertations are no longer accepted by the graduate school. Everyone planning to graduate has to prepare an electronic version of their thesis as part of the graduate school checklist.
This seminar is offered by the ETD Help Desk at UC and will explain the ETD submission process and the graduation checklist. The presenter will also be handling out relevant materials.
The seminar is from 2:00PM - 3:00PM on Wednesday, 27 th February at 850D Baldwin , the Engineering Library Classroom.
The seminar is applicable for all graduate students, and especially useful for students planning to graduate anytime soon (in about 2–3 quarters). If you are interested but cannot attend due to scheduling conflicts, let us know ( csgsa@ececs.uc.edu ) and we will try to schedule the seminar again. If you have any questions regarding the ETD process, contact the ETD helpdesk or visit the ETD website ( http://www.etd.uc.edu ).
GSGA Graduate Student Survey is collecting statistics on the quality of graduate student life from students so that they work on the issues and can forward the concerns to the Board of Trustees and other relevant people.
Prizes to be won (winners randomly chosen):

The Graduate School 's website http://www.grad.uc.edu/gradAnn/Example.aspx?page=B provides an important new feature—Dissertation Defense Announcement. This allows you to publicize your defense by your name, dissertation title, committee chair, and time and location of the defense. You are solely responsible for accuracy of information and your defense information should be pre-approved by your program. Defense of dissertation is an important event as you near completion of your degree, important for you individually and collectively for graduate education at the University of Cincinnati .
Please contact grad.infor@uc.edu if you have questions about posting your defense announcement, and best wishes for successful completion of your work.
Visit the CS GSA resources page for more such information !!

The following details are for a lecture on the future of scalable computing for which a video feed (from OSC) will be broadcast in Room 302, Zimmer, on February 21st, 2008 from 2-3PM.
It should be of interest to most students and faculty interested in high performance computing.
Dear Friend,
The Ohio Supercomputer Center invites you to attend the upcoming lecture by Dr. Wen-mei Hwu, "The Future of Scalable Computing Environments."
Professor Hwu serves as the Walter J. Sanders III-Advanced Micro Devices Endowed Chair in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Illinois, where he specializes in compilers and reconfigurable computing. Dr. Hwu's research interests include the areas of architecture, implementation, and software for high-performance computer systems.
His presentation is sponsored by the Ohio Computational Science Lecture Series, which is part of a joint effort by the Ohio Supercomputer Center and the Ohio Board of Regents to improve awareness and understanding of computer modeling and simulation.
Critical acclaim for Dr. Hwu's began with his doctorate studies in computer science at the University of California, Berkeley, which was successfully adopted into many microprocessor products, such as the Intel P6.
In 1997, Hwu earned recognition for his courses on multi-core and parallel processing architectures, receiving the Eta Kappa Nu Holmes MacDonald Outstanding Teaching Award. In 2006, Hwu received the most influential ISCA paper award, which chooses the paper that has had the greatest impact on the field in the intervening years.
Hwu received the award the paper titled "IMPACT: an architectural framework for multiple-instruction-issue processors."
More recently, Hwu joined a panel discussion at SC07 in Reno, Nev., on the range of newly emerging computing architectures and the challenges and opportunities that will come from these technologies.
A fellow of the IEEE and ACM, Hwu also serves as the director of OpenIMPACT, a project to deliver effective software and hardware performance solutions to the computing industry.
The ECE & CS Doctoral Qualifying Exam will be held on Monday, March 31, 2008, 9:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. in 400 TUC, Room A. You can sign-up for the exam in 701 ERC. The deadline to sign up is Friday, Feb 29, 2008. Please contact Julie Muenchen if you have any questions.

Information from Olga Hart (University Libraries):
Electronic books offer wonderful opportunities for research. They can be accessed from anywhere any time and they have a variety of features that increase readers' research experience. The 1-hour library workshops "Discovering e-books" introduce electronic books for use in the curriculum.
Please note that on different dates the workshop will focus on e-books in different disciplines, The February 12th workshop will highlight e-books on education and the February 14th workshop will focus on arts and sciences. Both workshops will be presented by Rosemary Franklin, subject specialist for English, Theater, and Communication, at 2-3 PM, 462 Langsam.
To sign up online, please go to http://www.libraries.uc.edu/instruction/workshop/list_current.php . If you have any questions about the workshops, please call 556-1851 or email UL Instructional Services ( barbara.macke@uc.edu ).
