New at FCRC 2007
We will be hosting a competition that's part of the international ACM Student Research Competition, sponsored by Microsoft Research.
This competition will consist of undergraduate and graduate categories. All students whose submissions are selected to participate
will receive a travel grant of up to $500, depending on need and eligibility, to help with travel and hotel costs. Winners in both the
graduate and undergraduate categories will receive cash prizes and award plaques, and are eligible to enter the annual Grand Finals, a
culmination of all ACM Student Research Competitions during the academic year.

Student Reseach Competition.
The ACM Student Research Competition has as its goal to facilitate students' interaction with researchers and to provide 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.
The SRC at FCRC will consist of two rounds. First, students will discuss their work with competition judges and conference attendees during a highly interactive poster session. The judges evaluate the research presented based on its quality, uniqueness, significance of the work, as well as the clarity of the presentation and the informal discussion. Three semi-finalists chosen from this round of competition will present their research during a private, dedicated conference session. The Student Research Competition winners will be recognized prior to the keynote speaker on the last day of the conference.
Eligibility
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 full paper for one of the technical sessions 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. Please note that judges will look more favorably on complete, or nearly complete, work than research which is still in its early formative stages.
