The research program of GRADES will be presented in three paper sessions, each of which consists of:

1. a presentation session: short talks with a hard time limit of 12 MINUTES each (plus 3 minutes for questions/presenter change).
2. an interactive session: 30 minutes of "poster-session style" interaction between the presenters of the paper session and the audience.

For the poster-session style interaction, GRADES will provide 6 poster boards that measure 3' wide and 6' high. There is no strict requirement to create a single printed poster, but we do recommend to prepare additional backup presentation material (and maybe even bring a demo on a laptop - if applicable). In such case, you could use a collection of printed ppt slides (e.g., up to 18 landscape-oriented slides arranged in 6 rows and 3 columns) on the poster board.

Please make use of the (coffee) break preceding your paper session to put up your backup material on the poster board marked with your paper slot number (these numbers are found below).

Paper slot numbers in this session are as follows:

1. MapGraph: A High Level API for Fast Development of High Performance Graph Analytics on GPUs - Zhisong Fu, Bryan Thompson, Michael Personick (SYSTAP, LLC). slides
2. Using semijoin programs to solve traversal queries in graph databases - Norbert Martinez-Bazan, David Domínguez-Sal (Sparsity Technologies). slides
3. Asymmetry in Large-Scale Graph Analysis, Explained - Vasiliki Kalavri (KTH); Stephan Ewen, Kostas Tzoumas ( TU Berlin); Vladimir Vlassov (KTH); Volker Markl (TU Berlin); Seif Haridi (KTH). slides
4. Towards a Query-by-Example System for Knowledge Graphs - Nandish Jayaram (University of Texas); Arijit Khan (ETH); Chengkai Li (University of Texas); Xifeng Yan (UCSB); Ramez Elmasri (University of Texas). slides

The last 30 minutes of the session will be used for poster-style presentations of these papers.

Paper slot numbers in this session are as follows:

1. HelP: High-level Primitives For Large-Scale Graph Processing - Semih Salihoglu, Jennifer Widom (Stanford University). slides
2. Graph Processing on an “almost” Relational Database - Ramesh Subramonian (Oracle Labs). slides
3. Graph Pattern Matching -- Do We Have to Reinvent the Wheel? - Andrey Gubichev, Manuel Then (TU Munich). slides
4. A Highly Efficient Runtime and Graph Library for Large-Scale Graph Analytics - Ilie Tanase, Yinglong Xia (IBM); Lifeng Nai (Georgia Institute of Technology); Yanbin Liu, Wei Tan, Jason Crawford, Ching-Yung Lin (IBM). slides

The last 30 minutes of the session will be used for poster-style presentations of these papers.

Paper slot numbers in this session are as follows:

1. How community-like is the structure of synthetically generated graphs - Arnau Prat (DAMA-UPC); David Domínguez-Sal (Sparsity Technologies). slides
2. PGX.ISO: Parallel and Efficient In-Memory Engine for Subgraph Isomorphism - Raghavan Raman, Oskar van Rest, Sungpack Hong (Oracle Labs); Zhe Wu, (Oracle); Hassan Chafi, (Oracle Labs); Jay Banerjee (Oracle). slides
3. Toward General Similarity Search Over Graphs - Yodsawalai Chodpathumwan (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign); Arash Termehchy (Oregon State University); Yizhou Sun (Northeastern University); Amirhossein Aleyasin (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign); Jose Picado (Oregon State University). slides
4. GRATIN: Accelerating Graph Traversals in Main-Memory Column Stores - Marcus Paradies, Michael Rudolf (SAP AG); Christof Bornhoevd (SAP Labs); Wolfgang Lehner (TU Dresden). slides

The last 30 minutes of the session will be used for poster-style presentations of these papers.
