STUDENT VOLUNTEER PROGRAM - AOSD 2011

An Opportunity for Having an Active and Interactive Experience During AOSD
2011

The Student Volunteer program is a great opportunity for young students to
stay tuned 
on recent scientific and technical advances in Aspect-Oriented Software
Development (AOSD). 
Great conferences have motivated the active participation of grad and
undergrad students as 
a way to improve their interaction with other young students and senior
researchers/practitioners. 
The AOSD 2011 Student Volunteer program will follow the same philosophy of
providing an 
opportunity to students having an active and interactive experience in the
conference and 
developing your personal skills and social network.
