Student Research Competion

Submission Deadline: Friday 11th May 2007 (Midnight Hawaii Standard Time).
Notification Deadline: Monday 11th June 2007 (Midnight Hawaii Standard Time).
Camera Ready Deadline: Monday 2nd July 2007 (Midnight Hawaii Standard Time).

The Student research Competition is an exciting opportunity for students to participate in an ACM conference and get visibility for their research. Students wishing to participate must submit 2 page abstracts of their work,formatted using the official ACM SIG proceedings template. Up to 25 entrants will be selected for the competition.

Qualifying entrants will display a poster and make a brief presentation to a panel of judges at the conference. A small number of semi-finalists will be chosen by the judges to present their work in a conference session, and of those up to three undergraduate and three graduate students will be designated finalists by the judges, and entered in the Grand Finals of ACM's Student Research Competition.

Entrants must be undergraduate or graduate students, and members of ACM. Entrants must be sole authors of their abstracts and posters. Work accepted as a technical paper of the conference cannot also be considered for the Student Research Competition. Students having a technical paper, however, are encouraged to submit other research to the Student Research Competition.

Submissions are limited in length to a 2 page extended abstract and must be formatted using the official ACM SIG proceedings template. Please note that the judges will look more favourably on complete, or nearly complete, work than research which is still in its early formative stages.

Notification of accepted Student Research Competion papers will be emailed to the author on Monday 4th June 2007 (Midnight Hawaii Standard Time) with the camera ready copies for ALL submissions being Monday 2nd July 2007 (Midnight Hawaii Standard Time).

The ACM Student Research Competition, sponsored by Microsoft Research, will award qualifying entrants with $500 (US) in prize money. With this money participants can register for the conference and use the remaining money to contribute to accommodation and travel expensive incurred when attending Hypertext 2007.
