<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Dear Das,<br>
<br>
Mehdi is correct; our long-standing policy is that calls for
papers/posters/participation must have a specific component
related to LLVM (e.g., a workshop on LLVM) in order to be
considered on-topic for the LLVM Developer's mailing list. Calls
that do not mention LLVM specifically are considered off-topic
(for what it's worth, I have mixed feelings about this policy, but
to date I haven't seen a desire to change it from the LLVM
community).<br>
<br>
If you haven't already, you might try advertising via the SIGPLAN
and SIGOPS announcements mailing lists.<br>
<br>
I will forward this information to our internal systems mailing
list at the University of Rochester as we certainly want to get
the research competition advertised.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
<br>
John Criswell<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">OVERVIEW</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Sponsored by ACM and Microsoft Research,
the ACM Student Research Competition</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">(SRC) is a forum for graduate and
undergraduate students to share their</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">research results, exchange ideas, and
improve their communication skills</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">while competing for prizes.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The SRC consists of three rounds: </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">1. Online abstract submission authored by
the student alone.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">2. Poster session at PACT-2016 by authors
of selected abstracts.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">3. Presentation at PACT-2016 by authors of
the top 3 posters selected by</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> judges at the conference.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The evaluation of round (1) will focus on
the quality of the research</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">contributions, while rounds (2) and (3)
will consider that and the</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">quality of visual and oral presentation.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Students accepted to participate in the SRC
may be eligible for partial</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">travel grants (typically up to $500) to
help cover travel expenses. The top 3</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">undergraduate and graduate winners will
receive all of the following prizes:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> 1. Monetary prizes of $500, $300, and

<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> 2. An award medal and a one-year
complimentary ACM membership with a</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> subscription to ACM's Digital Library.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> 3. The names and research abstracts of
the winners will be posted</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> on the ACM SRC web site.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> 4. An invitation to participate in the
SRC Grand Finals, an on-line</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> round of competitions among the
winners of individual</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> conference-hosted SRCs. The top three
graduate and undergraduate</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> Grand Finalists will receive an
additional $500, $300, and $200,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> respectively, along with Grand
Finalist plaques. Grand Finalists and</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> their advisors will be invited to the
Annual ACM Awards Banquet for</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> an all-expenses-paid trip, where they
will be recognized for their</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> accomplishments, along with other
prestigious ACM award winners,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> including the winner of the Turing
Award, the $1 million "Nobel Prize"</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> of computing.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">ELIGIBILITY</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A participant in the SRC must meet all of
the following conditions:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> 1. The abstract and the poster must be
authored solely by the participant.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> 2. The participant must submit an
abstract of up to 800 words outlining the</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> content of a poster that is going to
be presented during the competition.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> The abstract must include the poster
title, author name, affiliation,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> and the name of the academic advisor.
It should describe the research</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> problem, motivation and background,
techniques and results, and the</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> prospect for clearly and concisely
conveying the work in a poster</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> format. It should state the novelty
and contributions of the work</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> explicitly. The submission deadline is
Friday June 17, 2016, at 11:59 pm</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> US Eastern Time.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> 3. The abstract can have some overlap
with previous publications (including</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> PACT-2016), but some significant part
of it must have not appeared</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> before. Novelty is one of the
criteria for selection.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> 4. The participant can be from anywhere
in the world, but must be an ACM</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> student member, and must maintain an
undergraduate or graduate student</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> status as of June 17, 2016. Please
indicate whether you are an</p>

extended abstract in the ACM format</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">will be included in the PACT-2016
conference proceedings. The content,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">however, can be included in a future
submission to other conferences or</p>
