John Vlissides Award

In recognition of the contributions to computer science that John Vlissides made during his lifetime, SIGPLAN has established the John Vlissides Award. The award is presented annually to a doctoral student participating in the OOPSLA Doctoral Symposium showing significant promise in applied software research. All doctoral candidates participating in the annual OOPSLA Doctoral Symposium are eligible. The award includes a prize of $2,000.

We anticipate the first award will be made in 2008.

Selection Committee

The selection committee consists of the following members:

The committee is chaired by the OOPSLA Program Chair. The OOPSLA Program Chair shall adjudicate conflicts of interest, appointing substitutes to the committee as necessary.
