5th ACM Postgraduate Research Day
The Postgraduate Research Day is an annual event organized by ACM (Hong Kong Chapter). The event provides an excellent opportunity for computer science/engineering postgraduate students from all universities in Hong Kong to gain exposure in conference, to present their innovative research results and to share research ideas and experiences. Through this event, we aim at fostering an environment to promote closer interactions and collaborations among postgraduates and to promote R&D awareness in Hong Kong.

Date and Hosting Institute
The forthcoming Postgraduate Research Day will be held on Jan 31, 2004 at The Chinese University of Hong Kong.

Postgraduates of all local universities in Hong Kong are invited to submit research papers in areas related to computer science/engineering. The student author of each accepted paper is required to give a presentation on the Postgraduate Research Day. We will not claim exclusive copyright for the accepted papers.
