The competition, sponsored by Microsoft Research, is an internationally-recognized venue that enables undergraduate and graduate students to experience the research world, share their research results with other students and AOSD attendees, and compete for prizes. The ACM SIGPLAN Student Research Competition shares the Poster session's goal to facilitate students' interaction with researchers and industry practitioners; providing both sides with the opportunity to learn of ongoing, current research. Additionally, the Student Research Competition affords students with experience with both formal presentations and evaluations.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>Competition<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>-----------<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>Students submit a proposal that follows the requirements for a poster proposal.

The contest has two categories, one for undergraduate research and the other for graduate research. Three winners will be selected in each category. Research completed while the student was an undergraduate may be submitted to the undergraduate category even if the student is now a first-year graduate student. Participants must provide a signed letter from their academic supervisor confirming that they are registered as a full-time student and that at least 50% of their working week is spent following an academic course of study. Additionally, participants must be current members of the ACM, and must provide their ACM member number.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>Although the ACM and AOSD recognize the importance of collaborative research, the Student Research Competition is meant to be an opportunity for junior students to develop their skills as researchers and to give them an opportunity to showcase their work. One of the goals of the program is to focus on the student, their capabilities as a researcher, and their potential. As such, only individual research projects will be considered for the Student Research Competition. Supervisors of the work may not be listed as co-authors; you must submit a single-authored version of your work for the competition.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>For More Information<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>---------------------<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>For additional information, clarifications, or answers to questions, please contact the AOSD Student Research Competition Committee at </span><a href="mailto:src@aosd.net"><span lang=EN-US>src@aosd.net</span></a><span lang=EN-US>.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>Moreover, there is ample information on the Student Research Competition on ACM's web-site.
