PLDI 2007 Student Research Competition

The (SRC) provides an opportunity for graduate and undergraduate students attending PLDI 2007 to present and discuss their research.  For details on the SRC program, see http://www.acm.org/src.

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 be invited to the presentation session. Overall winners are selected from the presentation session. Please see  http://www.acm.org/src for more details on the competition process.

PLDI 2007 attendees, students as well as non-students, are invited to wander among the posters and talk to the students about their research.  

The top three graduate student posters and top three undergraduate posters will receive cash awards.
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 advisers, for an all-expenses-paid trip.
