Student Research Competition
About the Student Research Competition
New for this year is the SIGACCESS student research competition (sponsored by Microsoft Research). This is an exciting opportunity for students
to participate in an ACM conference and get visibility for their research.
Students wishing to participate submit abstracts of their work, and up to 25 entrants will be selected for
the competition. Qualifying research must deal with issues related to computing and information technology to
help persons with disabilities. Selected students will receive partial support from ACM to attend the
conference. At the conference, entrants will display a poster and make a brief presentation to a panel of judges.
A small number of semifinalists 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.
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 the judges will look more favorably on complete, or nearly complete,
work than research which is still in its
early formative stages. Students at, or near, the outset of their work in this area are encouraged to submit to
the Doctoral Consortium instead.
Note: Upon request, American Sign Language interpreters will be provided for the
Student Research Competition and all other ASSETS events. Requests for an
interpreter must be indicated on the conference registration form when
registering for ASSETS 2006.
