The goal of the ACM ROCS workshop is to raise awareness about the research opportunities available in the growing field of computer science broadly and also specifically in the context of the Indian ecosystem. The one-day event will feature talks by leading experts from three tracks: theoretical CS, computing systems, and machine learning. The workshop is supported by the Robert Bosch Center for Data Science and AI at IIT Madras.
We invite undergraduate students in their pre-final / final years and postgraduate students from computer science, mathematics and related programs (such as computer engineering, electronics/communication engineering, etc) to apply for participation in the workshop. Interested participants should register using the link: Registration Link
Registration covers lunch and snacks. A participation certificate will be provided to all participants at the end of the event. Registration Deadline - 17th January, 2024
