Graduate student registration for the 2008-2009 (fall and winter)
academic year begins on July 24. Before you can register, you have to
complete a "Registration Approval Form" (attached and also available on
the file cabinet outside my office) and must have submitted an "Annual
Progress Report Form".
If you are taking courses that have limited enrollment, I encourage you
to register as early as possible.
Graduate Calendars (including registration information) are available at
the Registrar's Office, 400 University Centre.

Hi Bev,
Can you please forward this to all the grad students?
thanks

Hi Everyone!
I hope everyone's summer is going well so far.
Its time to start getting ready for our annual charity bbq, this year it
will be held on August 7. For those of you who don't know, every year
the Plant Science graduate students organize a charity bbq to raise
money for a local charity. This year we will be donating to the same
charity as last year, the Spence Neighbourhood Children's garden, which
is an organization that has gardening programs for inner city children.
The social committee has already started organizing the bbq, but we need
lots of help from everyone. You can help out as much (or as little) as
you want, but any help would be greatly appreciated! I know that last
year the Spence Neighbourhood Childrens's Garden was extremely happy
with our donations, so let's show them our support again!
Here is a list of the committees you can get involved with and the
person you should contact:
1. *Entertainment* - Teresa (teresasutanto(a)gmail.com)
- organize entertainment for the day
2. *Promotion* -Victoria (umgauthv(a)cc.umanitoba.ca) or
Kaleigh (umyanch1(a)cc.umanitoba.ca)
- create and distribute posters, sell tickets, etc
3. *Setup* - Meghan ( umrose(a)cc.umanitoba.ca)
- prepare food, setup on the day, aquire furniture, etc.
Thanks for your help and let me know if you any questions

CONFERENCE OVERVIEW
---------------------------------------------------------------------
CISSE 2008 provides a virtual forum for presentation and discussion of the
state-of the-art research on computers, information and systems sciences
and engineering. CISSE 2008 is the fourth conference of the CISSE series of
e-conferences. CISSE is the World's first Engineering/Computing and Systems
Research E-Conference. CISSE 2005 was the first high-caliber Research
Conference in the world to be completely conducted online in real-time via
the internet. CISSE 2005 was the first high-caliber Research Conference in
the world to be completely conducted online in real-time via the internet.
CISSE 2005 received 255 research paper submissions and the final program
included 140 accepted papers, from more than 45 countries. CISSE 2006
received 691 research paper submissions and the final program included 390
accepted papers, from more than 70 countries. CISSE 2007 received 750
research paper submissions and the final program included 406 accepted
papers, from more than 80 countries.
The virtual conference will be conducted through the Internet using
web-conferencing tools, made available by the conference. Authors will be
presenting their PowerPoint, audio or video presentations using
web-conferencing tools without the need for travel. Conference sessions
will be broadcast to all the conference participants, where session
participants can interact with the presenter during the presentation and
(or) during the Q&A slot that follows the presentation. This international
conference will be held entirely on-line. The accepted and presented papers
will be made available and sent to the authors after the conference both on
a DVD (including all papers, powerpoint presentations and audio
presentations) and as a book publication. Springer, the official publisher
for CISSE, published the 2005 proceedings in 2 books and the CISSE 2006 and
CISSE 2007 proceedings in four books.
Conference participants - authors, presenters and attendees - only need an
internet connection and sound available on their computers in order to be
able to contribute and participate in this international ground-breaking
conference. The on-line structure of this high-quality event will allow
academic professionals and industry participants to contribute their work
and attend world-class technical presentations based on rigorously refereed
submissions, live, without the need for investing significant travel funds
or time out of the office.
The concept and format of CISSE is ground-breaking. The PowerPoint
presentations, final paper manuscripts and time schedule for live
presentations over the web had been available for weeks prior to the start
of the conference for all registrants, so that the participants can choose
the presentations they want to attend and think about questions that they
might want to ask. The live audio presentations were also recorded and are
part of the permanent CISSE on-line archive - accessible to all
registrants- which also includes all the papers, PowerPoint and audio
presentations.
Potential non-author conference attendees who cannot make the on-line
conference dates are encouraged to register, as the entire joint
conferences will be archived for future viewing.
The CISSE conference audio room provides superb audio even over low speed
internet connections, the ability to display PowerPoint presentations, and
cross-platform compatibility (the conferencing software runs on Windows,
Mac, and any other operating system that supports Java). In addition, the
conferencing system allowed for an unlimited number of participants, which
in turn granted us the opportunity to allow all CISSE participants to
attend all presentations, as opposed to limiting the number of available
seats for each session.
Prospective authors are invited to submit full papers electronically in
Microsoft Word format through the website of the conference at
http://www.cisse2008online.org. Accepted papers must be presented in the
virtual conference by one of the authors. To submit your paper,please visit

Four appointments for post-doctoral Research Associates and two
scholarships for PhD students are available on a project funded by the
Australian Research Council (ARC) and a number of Industry partners
(Department of Environment and Conservation, Western Power, Minerals and
Energy Research Institute of Western Australia, Alcoa World Alumina,
Worsley Alumina, BHP Billiton Ravensthorpe Nickel, Aztech and Tiwest).
The ARC project will be executed at the University of Western Australia
and Murdoch University.
The Research Associate positions are in the areas of plant ecophysiology
(position 2413), plant genetics and breeding (position 2414), plant
molecular biology (position 2415) and plant pathology / molecular
biology (position 2415). Details are available at
https://www.his.admin.uwa.edu.au/jobvacs/external/academic/ads.htm. The
two PhD scholarships (one at each of the collaborating universities) are
in these same areas and details can be obtained from the same people
listed in the advertisements.
The successful applicants will work in a multidisciplinary team on
various aspects of phosphate nutrition and the susceptibility to the
phytopathogen /Phytophthora cinnamomi/, both in Australian plants and in
/Arabidopsis thaliana/ (as a model plant).
Best regards,
Muthu
