http://kocseaa.org/symposia/
This year’s KOCSEA Technical Symposium will be held during November 10 – 11, 2017 at The University of Nevada, Las Vegas, NV. As a part of symposium, we host a scholarship competition to recognize outstanding Korean or Korean-American students, studying Computer Science or related areas in the U.S. The scholarship is dedicated to commemorate the late professor, Moon-Jung Chung, who was one of the KOCSEA founders and did a great service to the organization. The scholarship recipients are expected to have excelled in academics and demonstrated potential for making significant contributions in their discipline. We are soliciting for posters that present research projects with significant contributions.
