Smart like her mama ...
Or her poppa. He's darn sharp.
The problem is that she also has some of my bad habits and traits, and I have many. Poor kid! Every once in a while, when she talks about doing something that is classic mom business, I tell her she takes after me, and I apologize. Then we laugh and laugh!
Grab a party hat, Jolly!

Euro-Par is the prime European conference covering all aspects of parallel and distributed processing, ranging
from theory to practice, from small to the largest parallel and distributed systems and infrastructures, from
fundamental computational problems to full-fledged applications, from architecture, compiler, language and
interface design and implementation, to tools, support infrastructures, and application performance aspects.
Euro-Par’s unique organization into topics provides an excellent forum for focused technical discussion, as well as
interaction with a large, broad and diverse audience.24—26 August 2022
Euro-Par this year will be primarily an in-person event. We will, however, also make provision for authors and delegates to present, attend and interact online.Kiddo's paper was not only accepted, it has been nominated for best paper of the conference .
This is a big deal for our kiddo.
There are people all across the US and beyond who are very excited about this for our sweet kid. Please join the party! 🥳

Thanks! Instead of cake, let's all go to Glasgow for a pint with her.

Thanks, TG!
The selection of of the final paper is also based on the presentation. I think she'll do fine with that as well. We won't know which paper has been selected as the best until the end of the conference. I'll be on pins and needles.

I hope so, but I have not heard yet. I would think a recording would be made for all the papers of the main conference. There are two pre-conference days for workshop papers and PhD papers to be presented. The main conference already eliminated over 75% of the submitted papers. Just making that cut was exciting. It also makes me think they'll want to have the accepted presentations be recorded and posted online. I'm hopeful. -
Let me also add my congratulations.
I mean, it's not like I have to understand what she did! I can recognize joy and triumph when I trip over it, for your kiddo as well as her parents.

@Friday Thank you! Welcome to the party!
There's certainly a temptation to go, especially now with this news. Hubby and I are already talking about it, but no firm plans have been made. We don't even know for certain yet if kiddo will be there in-person or virtually. It depends on whether Argonne decides to approve her travel expenses. It may also depend on the covid levels for August. Lots of variables are involved, and not enough is known yet to make our own travel plans.

I wouldn't necessarily go to attend the conference. You'll likely pay $700 or so per person just to attend a 20min talk. (That said, usually you can just sneak in - entrance to these venues are very rarely checked).
But Glasgow is pretty nice. Try haggis if you go

Join the party, Cats!
The work she's doing with this topic is not in my areas of expertise, and even if it was, it would be way over my head. Hubby is in CS for his work, but this is a completely different field compared to his work. I think that's part of the excitement for us as parents, to know our kiddo has blown past us, reaching new experiences and levels of growth in this field.
Kiddo still says hubby and I are cool, too. So it's all good! Any time your adult kiddo says you're cool is a welcome surprise.
When they blow past you like this, you have to wonder if you will still seem interesting, or whether you've already become boring. We're good here.I think it's the frogs that make it work.

Sweet! Can you PM me the title of the paper?
I believe in that field, like in mine, conference publications are more important than journals. Very well done! When will you learn whether the paper will get the best paper award?

We've already had haggis, thankyouverymuch!
Yes, the expense of the conference is likely not small, and it's doubled for us. I doubt there's a "Mom and Dad" conference rate.
I had not thought of just walking in to it. Our lack of official conference lanyards and name tags might prevent us from getting through the door, but you never know. I'm quite experienced at looking like I belong somewhere, even when I don't. It cracks me up when someone asks me for directions or other information when I have crashed an event. That could be a handy skill for this. I'd have to coach hubby. He's not as comfortable about such things.
Of course, it would only be for the one presentation. She's going to be busy networking with people, as she should. For as quiet as she is, the networking goes very well for kiddo. That's the best part of attending in person for this, so I really hope it happens. Every conference leads to new opportunities for kiddo. I'd like to think that skill or trait comes from me, but I know it's all her.

If you do go to Glasgow, you should really try and visit Edinburgh as well - a much more touristy destination.
Just don't tell anybody in Glasgow you're doing that. There's a bit of a thing

I'd give it a try. Half of the time I walk around these kinds of conferences without my name tag. Try to look like a computer scientist: backpack, black t-shirt, no social skills. Even if some student volunteer would "catch" you, they'd likely still let you in. You are obviously not there for "professional" reasons. As long as you don't completely empty the muffins basket in the coffee break, it's safe to assume that nobody would give a damn.
You could also go the "official" route and send an email to the local chair or general chair and ask for permission to attend that one talk as "proud parent". That would likely work, too.
