ACM and Microsoft Research are sponsoring a Student Research Competition
(SRC) at PLDI 2007.

The (SRC) provides an opportunity for graduate and undergraduate
students attending PLDI 2007 to present their research in programming
languages. 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 invited to the
presentation session. Overall winners are selected from the presentation
session.

The top three graduate student posters and top three undergraduate
posters will receive cash awards. See www.acm.org/src/ for more details.

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.

SRC participants will be eligible for travel grants.
