2. POSTGRADUATE STUDENT CONSORTIUM
The Postgraduate Student Consortium papers (1000-4000 words) provide postgraduate students with an opportunity to discuss their study with other students and experienced researchers. Submissions (an extended abstract of 1000 words or full paper plus one-page curriculum vitae) are invited from current postgraduate students who would benefit from detailed workshop discussions of their research by a panel of established researchers.
The Postgraduate Student Consortium will be held within special time slots during the conference. Students should give a presentation providing an overview of their work and results to date. Student participants will have the chance to discuss their research in an informal session with peers and academics.
Aims
- Provide a supportive setting for feedback on students' current research and guidance on future research directions.
- Offer each student comments and fresh perspectives on their work from faculty and students outside their own institution.
- Promote the development of a supportive community of scholars and a spirit of collaborative research.
- Contribute to the conference goals through interaction with other researchers and conference events.
- To network with colleagues of similar background or interests.
Application to the CAADRIA Postgraduate Student Consortium
Submissions are invited from current postgraduate students who would benefit from detailed workshop discussions of their research by a panel of established researchers. Applications should be made via email to consortium@caadria-review.org and should consist of:
- An extended abstract or full paper. (see below)
- A one-page curriculum vitae. (attached to the end of the paper)
Extended Abstract/Full Paper
Submit a two-page extended abstract or a full paper of your thesis work, including: title, author information, abstract, keywords, thesis research summary, and references. This extended abstract, if accepted for the Consortium, will be the base of the discussion at the Consortium and will be open for attendance to all conference delegates. The extended abstract should clearly specify:
- Problem(s) that the research is addressing.
- Research question(s) you are trying to answer.
- Expected contribution(s).
- Proposed solution(s) and methodology.
- Current status, and of a tentative plan for future work.
Review Criteria:
- Originality of the work with respect to current concepts and techniques.
- Importance of the work with respect to fundamental issues and themes.
- Rigor and validity of claims, argumentation, methodology, results, and interpretations.
- Clarity and persuasiveness of expression.
Participants in the consortium will be selected by the CAADRIA Postgraduate Student Consortium Committee. Due to the nature of the consortium, submissions from students in the beginning and middle of their dissertation process will be weighed more favorably than those finishing up.

4. POSTERS AND EXHIBITIONS
CAADRIA 2011 Posters and Exhibitions will address not only computational design research, but also computational design creation. We invite authors/designers/artists who submit under the Posters and Exhibitions category to consider including creative works for exhibition display. The posters will undergo the usual review process, and should explain (among other related aspects) how computational methods were used in a novel way. The creative works selected for exhibition display will be innovative, well executed, and relevant to the conference. Selected contributors to Posters and Exhibitions will be invited to submit to an edited design book after the conference.
Poster and Exhibition (500 words) proposals should illustrate and outline all necessary details with the relevance to the conference theme and any of its categories.
Posters and Exhibitions will be assigned privileged space central within the conference site.
- You may submit both research posters and design/exhibition posters.
- Each poster will be allocated a maximum of one A1 surface area.
- You should bring a printed, hard copy of your poster.
- The Registration Desk at the conference will inform you about precise location for your poster.
- You are requested to pin up the poster before start of the conference on the first day, and collect it at the end of the conference on the last day.
- You will be informed about the time-slots when you will have opportunity to present your posters to conference attendees.
- If you would like to submit an exhibition entry in a different format other than a printed poster, i.e. a prototype, an installation and etc., please clearly describe the dimensions and other requirements of the exhibition item, the acceptance will be made on a case-by-case base, according to the capacity and support available at the conference venue.

6. SASADA AWARD
The Sasada Award is instituted in the memory of Prof. Tsuyoshi Sasada (1941-2005), former Professor of Osaka University, co-founder and Fellow of CAADRIA, a prolific researcher and teacher from whose lab over 200 students have graduated, and better known as "Tee" in the community.
The Sasada Award will be given to an individual whose sustained record of contributions demonstrates or promises significant impact on the field of computer aided design. In keeping with Tee's spirit, the award recipient will have contributed to the next generation of researchers and academics, to the wider profession and practice in computer aided design and research, and earned recognition in peer community.
The Award will be decided by a selection committee comprising:
- One member from the Osaka Lab,
- One collaborator or colleague of Tee,
- CAADRIA President, and
- One CAADRIA Fellow who will chair the Sasada Award Committee.
The Sasada award is made biannually; the next award will be made in 2012. Nominations should be submitted to Prof. Atsuko Kaga,
sasadaaward@caadria.org, by 30 November 2011. The submissions should include annotated CV with a covering statement as attachments via email. The Award Committee may solicit nominations at its discretion. The committee will make its selection during the following months. The committee may choose to defer the Award in any year for unspecified reasons.
The Sasada Award will be announced and presented at the CAADRIA conference. The Award supports the winner to undertake an academic visit at the Osaka Lab and covers some expenses for one week. The Award recipient will be expected to contribute to the academic and research activities at the Osaka Lab in the form of seminars and interaction with research students and staff.
