ACADEMIA

The IEEE Computer Society's Technical Committee on Parallel Processing (TCPP ) announced the 35 student recipients of $500 travel awards to attend IPDPS 2005 . The 35 awards were chosen from 75 student nominations. There were many excellent applications that could not be supported this year due to budget limitations. All students are encouraged to apply again next year. The list of award recipients and their advisors is given below. The TCPP acts as an international forum to promote parallel processing research and education, and participates in setting up technical standards in this area. Issues related to the design, analysis and implementation of parallel systems and solutions are of interest. These include design and analysis of parallel architectures and algorithms, and application development on parallel machines. TCPP sponsors professional meetings, brings out publications, sets guidelines for educational programs and coordinates academia, funding agency, and industry activities in the above areas. The International Parallel and Distributed Processing Symposium (IPDPS), held annually in the Spring, serves as the flagship activity of this TC. The International Conference on High Performance Computing (HiPC) is also sponsored by TCPP. Several workshops spanning interdisciplinary areas are sponsored by this TC. *TCPP 2005**Student Travel Award Recipients* *Last Name**First Name**Affiliation**Country**Advisor* Balasooriya Janaka Georgia State University USA Sushil K.
