CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

DEADLINE FOR REGISTRATION: September 20, 2021

1st SoC/IDIA Interdisciplinary Computing Research Symposium

https://idia.gmu.edu/event/computing-research-symposium/

Today, not only are computing devices pervasive in society, but computational methods are used in almost every field of endeavor. This symposium, co-sponsored by the recently launched School of Computing (SoC) and the Institute for Digital Innovation (IDIA), aims to bring together faculty from across the university to discuss potential research collaborations. Our goal is to facilitate dialogues and create connections between faculty with expertise in digital technologies and faculty focused on developing computational approaches and deploying computing systems to address problems in their fields as well as faculty focused on studying the societal impact of digital technology and digital systems.

The symposium will feature Lightning Talk sessions (organized around the four themes of healthy society, healthy economy, healthy planet and healthy people,  interpreted broadly and including other emergent interdisciplinary research themes), where faculty can provide brief introductions to their research, a poster session to connect speakers from the lightning talk sessions to attendees who are interested in collaboration, as well as Birds-of-a-feather sessions on topics proposed by attendees.
