CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS

PLDI 2008 Student Research Competition

June 7-13, 2008
Tucson, Arizona


ACM and Microsoft Research are sponsoring a Student Research Competition (SRC) at PLDI 2008.

The SRC provides an opportunity for graduate and undergraduate students attending PLDI 2008 to present their research in the design and implementation of programming languages. The SRC consists of two rounds: a poster session and a presentation session. A panel of judges will select a number of finalists from the poster session, who will be invited to the presentation session. Winners are selected from the presentation session. The top three graduate and undergraduate winners will receive cash awards. Click here for more details.

The winners will be invited to participate in the SRC Grand Finals, an online round of competitions among the winners of individual conference-hosted SRCs. The winners of the Grand Finals are invited to the ACM awards banquet together with their advisors, for an all-expenses-paid trip.

SRC participants will be eligible for travel grants.
