OVERVIEW
Sponsored by ACM and Microsoft Research, the ACM Student Research Competition
(SRC) is a forum for graduate and undergraduate students to share their
research results, exchange ideas, and improve their communication skills
while competing for prizes.
The SRC consists of three rounds:
1. Online abstract submission authored by the student alone.
2. Poster session at PACT-2016 by authors of selected abstracts.
3. Presentation at PACT-2016 by authors of the top 3 posters selected by
judges at the conference.
The evaluation of round (1) will focus on the quality of the research
contributions, while rounds (2) and (3) will consider that and the
quality of visual and oral presentation.
You can find more information on the ACM Student Research Competition at
http://src.acm.org
PRIZES AND GRANTS
Students accepted to participate in the SRC may be eligible for partial
travel grants (typically up to $500) to help cover travel expenses. The top 3
undergraduate and graduate winners will receive all of the following prizes:
1. Monetary prizes of $500, $300, and $200, respectively.
2. An award medal and a one-year complimentary ACM membership with a
subscription to ACM's Digital Library.
3. The names and research abstracts of the winners will be posted
on the ACM SRC web site.
4. An invitation to participate in the SRC Grand Finals, an on-line
round of competitions among the winners of individual
conference-hosted SRCs. The top three graduate and undergraduate
Grand Finalists will receive an additional $500, $300, and $200,
respectively, along with Grand Finalist plaques. Grand Finalists and
their advisors will be invited to the Annual ACM Awards Banquet for
an all-expenses-paid trip, where they will be recognized for their
accomplishments, along with other prestigious ACM award winners,
including the winner of the Turing Award, the $1 million "Nobel Prize"
of computing.
ELIGIBILITY
A participant in the SRC must meet all of the following conditions:
1. The abstract and the poster must be authored solely by the participant.
2. The participant must submit an abstract of up to 800 words outlining the
content of a poster that is going to be presented during the competition.
The abstract must include the poster title, author name, affiliation,
and the name of the academic advisor. It should describe the research
problem, motivation and background, techniques and results, and the
prospect for clearly and concisely conveying the work in a poster
format. It should state the novelty and contributions of the work
explicitly. The submission deadline is Friday June 17, 2016, at 11:59 pm
US Eastern Time.
3. The abstract can have some overlap with previous publications (including
PACT-2016), but some significant part of it must have not appeared
before. Novelty is one of the criteria for selection.
4. The participant can be from anywhere in the world, but must be an ACM
student member, and must maintain an undergraduate or graduate student
status as of June 17, 2016. Please indicate whether you are an
undergraduate or graduate student. You may join ACM prior to entering.
Basic student membership is $19 per year or less:
http://www.acm.org/membership
For each accepted SRC poster, a one-page extended abstract in the ACM format
will be included in the PACT-2016 conference proceedings. The content,
however, can be included in a future submission to other conferences or
journals.
