ICSE will be hosting an ACM Student Research Competition (SRC),
sponsored by Microsoft Research. This competition is at an
internationally recognized venue that offers students a unique forum
to experience the research world, present their research results to
ICSE attendees, and compete for prizes.
Participate in this exciting competition and submit your work to the
ICSE Student Research Competition!
BEFORE THE CONFERENCE
=====================
In the first round, students submit a 2-page research abstract that
follows the ICSE 2010 Format and Submission Guidelines. The submission
should describe:
* The research problem and motivation
* Background and related work
* Approach and uniqueness
* Results and contributions
Papers must be submitted electronically through CyberChairPro (see the
submission deadline below).
A panel of experts will review the submissions and select the students
to participate in the final two rounds of the Student Research
Competition at ICSE 2010 in South Africa. Accepted submissions will
be published in the ICSE proceedings Volume II.
Students who are selected to participate in the final two rounds are
entitled to a *stipend for their travel expenses, up to a maximum of
US$500.*
AT THE CONFERENCE
=================
The competition consists of two rounds during the conference:
1. Poster Presentation. Judges evaluate the research (quality,
novelty and significance) and the presentation of the research
(poster, discussion) during a poster session.
Based on the results from the poster session, judges will select
students to advance to the second round of the competition.
2. Short Conference Talk. Students give a short presentation of their
research followed by a question and answer session. The presentation
is evaluated by a panel of judges who select the winners.
PRIZES
======
The top three winners will be recognized during the conference and
will receive *prizes of US$500, US$300, and US$200,* respectively.
The winners of the ICSE SRC are also invited to compete with winners
from other ACM conferences in the ACM Student Research Competition
Grand Finals.
In addition, the judges can award special prizes
* Best project representing an innovative use of Microsoft technology
(US$200).
